I don't think it was that high, but would have to check. I do know that he asked for a guarantee and that was the deal breaker.I think he also wanted $5-6 million?

Having the best position coach while playing big time teams will give plenty of film to get to NFL.I see a lot of "If other teams come calling, we can increase his salary to stay".
That's too late. If he is worth that money then he needs to get it before he is being interviewed.
Don't wait until someone has a better offer in hand to offer them a raise, that doesn't work well in the corporate world and it won't work well here.
I am guessing he will get a lot more balls thrown his way in the GSU game. I am thinking a 100 Yd game for Eric.Eric singleton got very few pass targets. I think he caught his second pass,at end of game.
CPJ was offered the Auburn job (turned it down) and expressed interest in the Tennessee job, but didn’t follow through. He later said he just enjoyed the environment and kids at Tech and didn’t want the pressure of a big time program. I think Key is from the same bolt of cloth.
He was to replace Chizik.I've heard CPJ mention getting other offers. I don't think I've ever heard a specific team named. But I trust you'd know the truth of it if you're sharing. Would that have been in 2012 Auburn offered? Really interesting 'what if' to ponder... I imagine it would've been conditional on him 'updating' his offense... He'd have given Saban fits running option over there. Who would M-Bob have hired to replace him at Tech? (I shudder to think.)
B*** L**** was still young enough at that time.I've heard CPJ mention getting other offers. I don't think I've ever heard a specific team named.

I agree. Pressure at Tech is not the same as the pressure you get at Ohio State or Alabama.CPJ was offered the Auburn job (turned it down) and expressed interest in the Tennessee job, but didn’t follow through.

It comes a point where you earn enough money, and you need to decide not only about money but also quality of life. That's why Messi moved to Miami. He's able to go around and shop at a supermarket, or live a somehow normal life. Something he's not able to do in Europe. I agree with you, though. Hopefully we can become a top 10 team.People inquire about jobs, express interest in jobs, are offered jobs, and turn down jobs all the time. How serious any of this was is likely only know by Paul and the schools involved.
I enjoyed watching him coach our team. The highs were as high as you can get without winning the natty and the lows were few, but still had memorable moments (2015 fsu).
As for Key, who the hell knows. He went to Tech, but grew up in Alabama and coached under Saban (which I guarantee everyone related to the Alabama football program is keenly aware of right now). Let’s enjoy him while he’s coaching and hope we have the resources to keep him if he’s successful. That’s the best we can hope for.
I hope this becomes a real thing for usIf GT becomes a perennial playoff contender then Keys salary likely hits close to $10m
Or UNC. Not sure where he is from but wife is from NC. Both UNC alums.I think losing Batt would be a bigger problem. He’s done the best job at AD since Homer. I think he could get lured back to Alabama. They loved him.
Yessss. It had the look and Kirk would never, ever have said those things.I'm guessing that was an AI deep fake. Still pretty funny.
