Leach made $4 Mill per year. Harsin less than 2 mill per year. Eventually Harsin is gonna have to take one of these P5 jobs, if that is truly his objective.

William Sydney "Wes" Wesley (born August 14, 1964) is an American consultant for Creative Artists Agency. Known as "World Wide Wes" or simply "Wes," Wesley is noted for his relationships with numerous high-profile NBA players and team owners, college basketball head coaches and their agents. Considered by many observers within the industry as a power broker and one of the most influential men in the business side of basketball, he forged those strong ties without being associated with any business entity.[1]
He is associated with many of the league's most prominent players, including Richard Hamilton, and Allen Iverson. Wesley is a longtime client of Iverson and LeBron James's agent, the Philadelphia attorney Leon Rose.[2] One of hip hop's biggest contemporary artists, Drake, gives Wesley a shout out on his popular diss track Back to Back, stating "I learned the game from William Wesley, you could never check me," (the first verse in the song) exposing Wesley to a new audience.[3] Wes was also referenced in Jay-Z's verse in the song Pound Cake / Paris Morton Music 2.[4] Shaquille O'Neal references Wesley in his song "LaVar Ball Diss Track".[5]

He played high school basketball for Pennsauken High School in Pennsauken Township, New Jersey. Playing for rival Camden High School was Milt Wagner, who later went on to the University of Louisville and the NBA. Wagner claims[6] that Wesley became his friend and confidant during high school, and that he introduced Wesley to Michael Jordan, among other pro basketball luminaries.
Around the same time, Leon Rose played basketball for nearby Cherry Hill High School East in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. In 2005 Rose acknowledged having been Wesley's attorney "for 21 years."[6]
In the early 1980s, Wesley worked as a salesperson at Pro Shoes Inc., an elite sneaker company, specializing in high-end basketball shoes, across the street from the Cherry Hill Mall.[7][1]
Wesley attended Brandywine College (now called Widener University) in Chester, Pennsylvania for one year.[1]
Involvement with current players and coaches Wesley is involved with The Family, a Detroit-area youth basketball team supported by former Detroit Pistons guard Richard Hamilton,[8] and counts among his closest friends Hamilton, Iverson, and Dajuan Wagner,[8] the son of Milt Wagner and a first-round pick in the 2002 NBA Draft. All are clients of Rose.
Wesley was also very visible in the months leading up to LeBron James' defection from agent Aaron Goodwin.[8] Goodwin, who signed James out of high school, had helped him earn a lucrative contract with Nike. James signed with Rose during the summer of 2005.
John Calipari has been quoted as saying, "Wes is a goodwill ambassador to our program.”[9] After Kentucky claimed the title over Kansas, Kentucky Wildcats star Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist climbed into the stands and shared a celebratory hug with Wesley, who was sitting in the Kentucky family section inside the Superdome.[10]
On May 20, 2010 on Mike and Mike in the Morning, Jalen Rose told Mike and Mike that he coined Wesley's nickname "World Wide Wes".[11][12]
I Seriously don’t know what to say. I know the rest of the jack leg schools fans around the SEC are absolutely LOVING this hire...for hilarity reasons if for nothing else. But Not so much for State fans. Just don’t think his style of play will work well in these parts being more of a LOS, heavier on defense and run the ball a lot mostly league. But, we will see. Just hate to be the butt end of jokes with this guy. Most fans have already started. Hardy har har.
Also have no idea what States AD was thinking being this guys record is like 130-90 something, just doesn’t make sense if they were looking for a coach that has the potential to make State a national contender, especially knowing his style of play. He will have to adjust his previous style of play to be relevant and I guess teams will also have to adjust to him to defend what he likes to do.
Having said that, MS St just got more on the map and people will be tuned in to see the goofball for no other reason. Also SEC media days should be a hoot. And Kiffin also in the state as a rival. Egg bowl just went must see TV. With Kiffin, coach O, Saban and Leach the SEC west just went wild Wild West. Lord have mercy. Don’t know whether to laugh, cry or jump in a deadfall......so, with that......

Harsin is the Mark Few of college football. Taking $2Million for the rest of his professional career > $4 Million for five years.
I find this hard to believe, although there are reports of him interviewing. I hope it's true simply for the hilarity factor. I wonder how long until he goes full Bobby Petrino with a coed.
Leach is too autistic for that. No woman can pretend to be interested in wars and pirates no matter how much money someone has.

Vernon Adams could do that math.
