*cringe*$1.2M over 8 years is only $150k per year. Certainly good money, but that's not exactly retire after 8 years money. It is have one years living expenses saved up type money, which is I think the minimum you would want as a college coach.
But definitely a bad look. He's probably (understandably) extremely disappointed/upset right now, which is probably a good time to put a moratorium on tweets, facebook posts, etc.
Investing a mill with 5% returns and stretching that 200k out would be tough for the first couple years. Prayers for Sallach
