Reminds me of - can’t find his name - but he was a D3 and had crazy rushing stats over 4 years and I think got a try out in the NFL but didn’t make it.
This may have been overlooked yesterday…crazy #s. Good for this young man - then again, 71-27, was there padding? Well, the game is 60 minutes.

Yes. UNC’s coach has a 5 year contract at $10 million per year plus potential bonuses; Lane Kiffen is paid $9 million per year at Ole Miss plus potential bonuses.
I may be in the minority, but I think that Penn State wants Lane Kiffen so Ole Miss will have to consider raising his salary to about $12 million per year plus potential bonuses if U Mississippi wants to lock in their current head football coach.
I think schools will because they have to tighten up on the golden parachutes -so I’m not sure they’ll get the huge name who already has one but rather someone willing to take a 4 or 5 year deal and that’s it.
Paying for 8 and 10 years after firing isn’t sustainable.
Wisconsin just extended Luke Fickell who on paper was a home run hire. Crap years and they extended him. Now they will have to eat lots of $$.
Penn State is a big enough job they’ll get a great name on a shorter deal.
Disagree.
Many, maybe most, payments after a firing are reduced by any coaching compensation received during the golden parachute years. (This applies to James Franklin.)
Few coaches qualified for the Penn State Head coaching position will accept a short-term contract as most expect rebuilding to take 4 to 5 years of recruiting classes by the new head coach. Of course, NIL money & the transfer portal may change the time frame required if the school’s boosters supply enough money to buy the best college football players (as LSU boosters did for their current over hyped coach).
Regarding LSU’s deal for then Notre Dame’s head coach Brian Kelley, the deal contained a major flaw as both Brian Kelley & LSU boosters assumed that the Brian Kelley acquisition would include his star defensive co-ordinator who stayed at Notre Dame and took over as head coach. To state the obvious, LSU should have made a package deal when buying Brian Kelley from Notre Dame.
Reduced but you’re assuming the new school for Franklin pays a market salary.
They should pay college coaches like they do in the NFL. It’s gotten nutty.
I guess we’ll find out but I suspect they’ll get an up and comer, like Franklin himself was.
Coaches are getting NIL deals too so making much more than their posted salaries. Prime has all kinds of deals with hospitals and businesses and sunglasses companies. He gets a cut on all the sweatshirts and gets appearance fees. His sons were making $5M as players, but he’s making that and more.
Enough to pay his campus parking tickets that he kept getting.
