Sorry if this has been posted already but UM is paying Kermit Davis $2.5 million per year. The guy was making $750k at MTSU, and probably would have taken the UM job for $1.25-1.5 million per year. They did the same with Luke- paid a guy $3 million when he would have done it for half that.

I understand that you have to pay coaches competitive salaries as the price of doing business, but that still seems too much for those guys...

It's because they are a "national brand" now. Did you know that? That they are a national brand? Only national brands can pay their coaches that kind of money, because they are a national brand. I had heard today that they are a national brand. If I was a betting man, I'd say UM is a national brand...

Good Lord...I guess this is the newest thing they're gonna drum into their own egos now that "flagship" has some miles on it. Between what I heard on H2H and Kermit's interview on ESPN, I'd say they easily broke some sort of record of how many times they can say "national brand".

Just three words, and you 17 up one of them. Hail State.

And 17 you downvoters, expect excellence or suffer suckage.

It's so dumb how much they have overpaid for him and Luke. But it's all about perception to them and they want everyone to know they can pay their coaches

 

[Rockydawg]

Yeah... but does "realzied" make it into the lexicon?

...and players, and momma's, ad nauseum.

Wow, that's crazy. And after their football program got hit with sanctions, they go and hire a coach with a history of breaking the rules. OM just don't GAF.

They so badly want the world to think that they are one of the "Big Boys" of College Athletics. It is always about image over reality with those guys.

OM is REALLY good with getting 'their' message out and they have an established network that 'parrots' whatever they want messaged. Like former OM 5* QB & 'hero' Shea Patterson says in his appeal to the NCAA ..

"Coach Freeze delivered the misleading 'false narrative' to [the journalist], waited until [his] story went online, and then drafted a DM [direct message] to one of his assistants (commenting 'Good PR response' on the false information that he himself had given to the [journalist]), and directed the assistant to send the link to [his] story to all the recruits," the NCAA Appeal says.

The true middle fingers in the air would’ve been hiring kelvin Sampson. Thank God they didn’t

We'll if you pay $110k for a used Buick

It's the same as buying a new Mercedes, right?

They couldn't find a coach worth big money to take the job, so they pay someone big money and scream "he's worth it". They hired hugh 2 million when he had been making 250k.

OM hoping their men's basketball team getting the death penalty will prevent their football team from getting one.

 

[Charlie Varney]

They hired on the cheap, but....

Are overpaying for what they got to try and make it look like they didn't.
