    That’s the entire point. The UW can afford 10 million and won’t do it…………….As a percentage of Athletic Department revenue we won’t do it. Jesus, Oregon State Head football coach has no business being close in total compensation to a UW Head coach yet there he is. Why? the disparity in athletic department revenue that’s generated. Btw … A half a stick raise for an assistant for UW and the fans go nuts…. That’s short money. Let’s talk NIL ? Dewand Jones Buckeye offensive tackle makes more than Penix. In fact the top 2 Buckeyes make more than the entire UW football team on NIL. UW is not serious about football. They are kinda of serious. Below is the link to chew on NIL. Even when Peterson got his big contract he was 19th highest paid coach in the country. But top on PAC-12.. Still not elite… Hey if any fan of the program thinks we will be Top 10 in the country for NIL and for coaches be my guest. UW brings in more money than Clemson. We really do..

    Just because you’re rich and can pay more than you need to doesn’t mean you should. It’s part of getting rich in the first place.

    Everyone knows you pay good employees CEO money after one good year of work. Everyone knows it.

    DeBoer has won 11 games in his entire career as a head coach at a P5 school and this guy wants to give him Saban money.

    Yeah I really don't read your guys stuff

    Imagine paying a career loser that much money

    DeBoer will pass him rather easily

    I have no proof of this, but DeBoer strikes me as a coach that doesn't need to be the highest paid in the conference as long as his assistants are happy and there's no revolving doors there.

    The Washington job given the revenue generated should pay at a top 20 level. Why? the athletic department revenue is top 20 in the country. And at times top 10. When Oregon State makes a larger financial commitment to their head football coach than the UW. It demonstrates the UW’s priorities. I want UW to prioritize the football program. More to the point, if you’re capable of reading. Which by all accounts you might be to aid your understanding of correlation coefficient between coaching salaries, athletic department revenue and winning percentage.

    Grab a cocktail and enjoy the article

    Journal of Applied Business and Economics Vol. 22(1) 2020

    Didn't need to overpay when they hired him. Year 1 success and he got a nice bump along with his assistants pool. Win again in 2023 and he'll get another extension at porbably 6 million+ a year (or higher if another school comes calling - that money coming from UW to retain him or a new destination).

    Your argument is "UW makes a lot of revenue and can pay more so they should." From my memory, UW has taken that approach exactly once when they hired Rick in 1999. That worked out for about 2 years. I don't remember what Pete got when he came here but it's pretty clear that he sought out UW as much or more than UW did him so money was not the first consideration there.

    The argument about big spending equaling success is pretty pointless. The coaches making that money generally have had proven/sustained success at a high level. UW was never going to make a big dick hire given the buyout circumstances for Lake, down attendance and revenue from COVID (and Hamilton), and anticipating that Hopkins would also be a buyout in the near future.
