    Might be able to get Brian Kelly for $4-5 mil.

    I like the idea, but speaking practicalities... The TW hangover effect is still strong. I'm pretty sure that black coaches and ND coaches are off the table. Plus, ND would would go toe to toe with any bidding war.

    Kliff Kingsbury? Unless he goes to Texas, he should be gettable.

    You're from Texas - you should know that Kingsbury is already at his dream job. And he's not that good anyway.

    Why would you start at five million dollars? What kind of negotiating tactic is that?

    There wasn't a negotiation. There was an offer, and UCLA gave him a new contract. We didn't get a second chance.

    Mora = just an asshole who never intended to go to UW at all but used UW in order to get himself and his staff more money from UCLA?

    It's called pricing the competition out of the market.

    The goal is not to get the highest wins to dollar ratio. It's to get the most wins.

    Fuck...this is why we have a Pool Boy as an AD. Mora doesn't give a shit about whether he got $4 or $5 million a year...Pool Boy should have had an extensive report/outline of the other things Mora would have gotten as coach (and would have had input into)...i.e.

    - Assistant coach salaries/plans to allow him the best and brightest. Tell him his 2 coordinators will make $1+million, and he won't have to carry a Nansen around 'cause even the low guys will be making $400k instead of $130K.
    - Facility plans for the next 10+ years with spending and current options of what that money would go to (with feel-good scenerios that with him as coach and the love the locals have for him addtional money will be generated and going to x, y, and z).
    - Expansion of student athlete programs,
    etc. etc.

    In fact, Pool Boy should already have this...even if it BS...as a sales tool to whatever sucker he's going to try and lure to work for "him" next. If nothing else just to bluff the guy into thinking there is a thought process/plan of success (I'm doubting there is with him), and that as coach of UW he would be able to guide it to insure he does succeed. And to be honest the whole process of going over it with him is the selling...you let the guy start talking about his ideas as you interview him to get him to start picturing himself in that structure and as part of the process. Its basic BSchool concepts of negotiations and sales that seem well above our current Pool Boy's head.

    Instead it looks like we got a 30 minute meeting over coffee and an offer of $4 million to come up. Our AD courting process is that he's willing to buy dinner in hopes of getting some, and as a result instead of the hot girl we're going to get either a fat/ugly or a starving one.
