Raiola's Bears salary is $385K and Austin's was $500
pay him $450K and leave 50K bonus for "attracting top recruits."

just sayin

I like this for two reasons. 1. I think he could do a fine job. 2 No lions player should ever be associated with the Bears.

I don't like the bonus for recruiting because it could lead to violations. I would rather pay him enough to get him here and then bonus all the coaches for good performance at the end of the year.

In the times of NIL, it is going to be pretty damn hard to get violations anymore. Pretty damn easy to cover **** up.

Ed and Danny Manning are indicating this smells of wrong doing to hire someone just because they have a relative who is a big name recruit.

we are now in the world of paying players so they can buy hookers and blow...this shouldnt even raise an eyebrow.

Honestly curious what kind of hookers can be found in Lincoln. I'm picturing Shoemaker's Truck Plaza and it's not pretty.

i wasnt referring to anyone place in particular, i'm just wondering if this is cause for concern...in today's climate.

Re Donovan, What was recruiting story here…how did we not get him?
No idea, but recruiting was way different back then and we still had the semblance of a pipeline, so he probably was not highly regarded enough for our standards.

It’s a tongue in cheek reference to giving him $50K to bring his nephew Dylan Raiola here.
He may or may not get his nephew a nice birthday gift of similar value.
