The money in college football has gotten insane

Hard to rationalize our expectations as a fanbase given the financial limitations of the athletic department.

This is going to be a problem for the mid level schools like us in the coming years. We are probably less than 5 years away from coordinators at the factories making more than our head coach does.

$3 million per year will buy a lot of skinny jeans and tight suits. Plus, he saves on the cost of socks. He’ll be fine…..

He's got a 7 year deal and the record has been nothing to negotiate higher pay over.

It’s a joke. Relax.

I understand it was a joke, just not a very good one given your post history or the context of the OP. Which is we’re being outspent by nearly half the teams in college football, and basically every team in our conference

Cute. We’ve got a bad coach who’s a bad dresser. Our team has been horrible for three years. If you can’t laugh about something, you’ll go insane.

He/she has some weird obsession with Coach’s wardrobe. This isn’t the first comment on the matter.

Sorry I hurt your feelings. Been going to Tech games for 45 years. I prefer winning to what we’ve been doing the last few years. Troll? Grow up. Geez.

Sorry. He’s the most elite coach in the world with the most elite staff and let’s got eat some waffles. I’ve already got my Waffle House cup on the sideline. Is that better?

You didn’t hurt my feelings at all? More like just made me roll my eyes. Which I continued to do after reading this post which is also troll-y. Enjoy your night and the weekend, chief

Number facts are what engineers produce for other people.

Some believe we deserve to win because we are gt

Tech has been losing the money war for as long as I can remember but the pace of decline in being financially competitive has accelerated over the last ten years. I am really curious what the answer is or if there is an answer. You would think that a school that routinely produces millionaires would know how to solve for X on this.

Like the poster who was joking I am not worried about CGC. He has indicated this is his dream job. If he can pull a Dabo at Tech he can have most any salary he wants because the program will generate a lot more money. But Tech has been getting by on the cheap with coaches for so long that it may dig a whole too deep to climb out of.

 

[D-man44]

This maybe the wrong board but I don’t understand the CGC needs to be Dabo stuff. I get the corkiness trying to play to recruits. CGC was a broyles award winning DC who if things don’t turn around will get another major DC job whereas Dabo was a WR coach before being promoted. Tech is also very different from Clemson. They have a bigger stadium, more students, and have always had a higher recruiting ceiling because South Carolina ≠ UGA. Just not a comparison that makes a lot of sense to me.
