Details of DC Brown's contract have been released. He's slated to make $2.7 million over the next 3 years; $850,000 this year, $900,000 in 2017, and $950,000 in 2018. For reference, Durkin and Drevno made $800,000 for last season.
Also of note, his contract includes a $250,000 buyout if he terminates early.
Doc?
What's up?
Can we rock?
I think it was during my Cherry Coke/Dr. Pepper phase.
+1 True Fu-Schnick
Still can't believe Shaq ended up releasing twice as many albums as Biggie.
When you coordinate the #1 defense in the nation, at BC of all places, you've earned the title.
I understand it's the recruiting busy season but does anyone else feel like we haven't heard barely anything from/about Brown since his hire? Does he have to finalize his hiring paperwork first from the university or something?
Great Scott!!
Well.. what can you say. You want the best, gotta pay up.
That's some good coin.
Guy probably walked into meeting and demanded that salary. Hackett said yes with no negotiation. Baller status for Brown.
D-U-D-E!
When Hackett agreed, Brown declared it to be "NICE!", and then left the room.
Pretty good money. I know around AA the hope has been that he can slow down the spread attacks Michigan will see in the Big Ten. Brown's results against Clemson were very good. Fortunately I think the biggest tests for Michigan defensively against decent spread teams aren't until the last two weeks of the season, Indiana and Ohio State. Colorado will not be awful but I believe Indiana is better on that side of the ball.
34 points is very good?
Did you see BC's offense?
Results, not result. 2013 and 2014 Clemson was held to 24 and 17, respectively, all on offense. BC obviously does not have the defensive talent to match Clemson's offensive talent.
Alabama gave up 40.
Boston College defense allowed less points against Clemson then Alabama (40 points allowed), Oklahoma (37 Points), North Carolina (45 Points), South Carolina (37 Points), Miami (YTM) (58 Points), North Carolina St (56 Points), Syracuse (37 Points), Georgia Tech (43 Points) and also Appalachian St and Worfolk. When you consider in the talent level (BC hasn't had a top 50 class in the last 4 years) and how putrid their offense is (#126 in total offense), then I would say that it was good.
continuity that has been lacking with DCs as of late.
Hokes DC is still on the staff. How is that not continuity?
He gets to coach the best athletes of his coaching career while getting paid this kind of money? What a way to ride off into retirement, Coach. Well done, and great hire.
If he works out the way we hope I would like it if he puts off that retirement for a while.
I have a hard time believing that Drevno and Durkin only made $800.00 last year. If that is in fact true, I no longer blame Durkin for leaving, and think Drevno is an idiot for staying.
[This is a "You made a typo and I am a dick and will point it out because fuck you, Mad Hatter" comment...]
Edited the OP.
Great, hope he makes us into a world-crushing, 2000 Ravens-level defense and stays for a long time.
DET SGT DOC BROWN. LEAD INVESTIGATOR.
His mustache is filled with the DNA samples of 1000s of perps...
Doc Brown doesn't need to plant evidence to get results. He just gets the results.
The stache is worth 100k alone. Easy.
Anyone with a mustache that good has to get paid a large sum of money.
It's an intimidating stache. But using that logic, Tiller would have been a trillionaire.
What does Mattison make?
[EDIT] Googled that for myself

You Googled and you came back with a link from THERE??
Could just go to USA Today, they have all the publicly known salaries of all the head coaches and assistants in the FBS.
They're both Gannett companies... Just sayin'
Good money, but that's actually less than I would have thought.
as Drevno and Durkin. We didn't break the bank to bring in a top DC. Compare that to some of the salaries in the SEC where many make over $1M. Interesting that Oregon is only paying their new DC $600K.
You say ONLY $600k but what is the going rate for line coaches that failed as P5 head coaches with no DC experience outside of HS? I'd wager Oregon overpaid based on resume.
they are spending a lot less for their DC than most, if not all of their main competitors. I find that interesting when taking into account all their recent success and financial backing. Whether that means they are underpaying the coaches they hire or they are only hiring coaches they can get relatively cheaply is an open question.
of the PAC-12...
Did the Libyans pay him big bucks for a nuke and he diverted those funds to the flux capacitor?
Where we are going we don't need roads.
That's very true, although I would say that as Brown is the defensive coordinator now, we're making the statement that we would rather not deal with the people who might build roads on offense either. It's a win for anyone who detests roads really - I can live with it certainly.
Kill kill kill!
...SMASH!!!
....SMASH!!!
...SMASH!!!
That's heavy. Seriously though, when he gets that defense up to 88mph, we're going to see some serious shit. Hopefully we don't see a FLUX in any CAPaCITy OR we might find ourselves in a jam with the time -space continuum
Dudes get paid.
