Hoke Contract
I have searched this blog and the internet for any information regarding Hoke's contract. Does anyone know how much he is making and any other details? I know the contract is for 6 years, but nothing else.
While we are at it, any info on the assistants too?
I hope there are others in the same boat as me. Help!

Why make billions when we can make... MILLIONS???

If you can find it here or anywhere else, there's a good chance it hasn't been released yet.
February 17th, 2011 at 9:15 AM ^
Well if that's the case let's get it going. Come on this is the internet, we don't need solid facts, just rumors and or speculation. How about an over/under?
February 17th, 2011 at 9:17 AM ^
Under 2.5m, with Mattison's being probably >double Greg Robinson's.
February 17th, 2011 at 9:56 AM ^
If the over/under is $2.5 million, I would take the under, but not by much (around $2 million?), but with incentives for (1) getting to the B10 Championship Game, (2) winning the B10 Championship Game, (3) going to a BCS Bowl, (4) going to a NC game, and (5) winning a NC being generous, so that by winning the B10, he would get over the $2.5 million.
As to assistants, I thinkt hat Mattison easily breaks $1 million. The remainder of the staff pay should be somewhere around where it was under RR. Borges and Magee have about the same level of clout, and the rest of the staff is comparable, as well.
February 17th, 2011 at 10:05 AM ^
Agreed. Mattison gets top dollar, Hoke makes less than RR in an incentive based contract that can still go pretty high.
Seems like that's the logical bargain for both of those guys. Also agreed on the other assistants.
At 1m, does Mattison become the highest paid coordinater in college ball?
Edit: Maybe, Malzahn has been guarenteed 1m.
February 17th, 2011 at 10:07 AM ^
Here's a list from December with the current assistant salaries at that time: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/2010-12-20-oregon-staff…
February 17th, 2011 at 10:18 AM ^
I wouldn't toubd that Malzahn could be up for a pay raise. But, I think that in the end, Mattison is going to be the highest paid coordinator.
Also, while many of us (I am on the fence) don't like DB or his process, one thing that I have found is that he has been as honest as any AD - almost too honest. He said that he had approval from his "bosses, and his bosses' bosses" to open up the vault and bring total comp to where it needs to be to compete. Obviously, Hoke will not command top $$ - not only does his resume to date not justify it, but quite frankly, I don't see Hoke asking for it. The guy publicly said that he would take the job regardless of pay and he lived up to his word and took it without even discussing $$. Also, he was making under $1 million at SDSU, so even if he were to get $1.75, he would be more than doubling his prior salary and moving to a lower cost of living state. If Hoke is in the $1.5-$2.5 range, there should be a ton of $$ left over to pay Mattison.
Wow, how did this post get so long?

Malzahn is up for a raise, since the SEC championship, I believe; he's agreed in principle to a one million dollar salary.
Hoke stirkes me as the type of guy to have a smaller base salary in a contract loaded with big incentives. I don't think he could command what RR or the SEC coaches were making, but it seems like he'd ask for big bonuses for Big Ten championships, beating OSU, ect.
February 17th, 2011 at 12:22 PM ^
IMHO, beating your archrival falls under basic job description. It SHOULDN'T be a bonus... Granted, times are tough with our record against them of late, but I hardly agree with putting a monetary bounty on beating them.
Bonuses should be saved for Championships.
February 17th, 2011 at 12:28 PM ^
Once I thought about it I realized it would be a lightning rod, so probably a bad idea. As to it being the goal, aren't Big Ten championships the goal too?
I wouldn't have a problem with him getting a bonus for beating the majority of our three big rivals and keeping the Little Brown Jug, or something similar.
I just think Hoke needs a contract with a smaller base amount and big bonus incentives. He's still too unproven to get what RR or another big name coach gets (got), but being a coach here means he should have a shot at making big time money.
February 17th, 2011 at 12:41 PM ^
He should get a bonus if he assigns the #1 jersey to a wide receiver.
February 17th, 2011 at 1:47 PM ^
It's over, let it go.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:43 AM ^
What do you mean it's over? Has he given the #1 jersey to a wide receiver yet?
February 17th, 2011 at 12:10 PM ^
That sentence makes no sense.
February 17th, 2011 at 12:17 PM ^
Wait was that a comment to mine, aaamichfan or the OP? I can't tell this far down.
February 17th, 2011 at 9:16 AM ^
I think we gave him a pair of rollerskates and a couple cases of diet coke.
February 17th, 2011 at 9:35 AM ^
Didn't we pay for his ride here so he wouldn't have to walk all the way from San Diego?
February 17th, 2011 at 10:08 AM ^
Who knew he would've been okay with just hiking boots to make it through the Rockies.
February 17th, 2011 at 12:15 PM ^
And didn't he say he would do the job for nothing? Well, good business practice answers, "Tremendous!"
February 17th, 2011 at 9:38 AM ^
...we just "Hit'em with the Kenny G"...."Love that song".

Michael Taylor probably knows, he'll be discussing it on the radio soon.
February 17th, 2011 at 9:45 AM ^
The one thing we know for sure is in there is that Hoke is contractually obligated to refrain from hiring non-whites.
February 17th, 2011 at 10:00 AM ^
Did he pull an MJ on us!? "Shamone " Photos asap puhleeeease.
February 17th, 2011 at 10:05 AM ^
According to Taylor, Freddy J doesn't count because he's not best friends with him.
February 17th, 2011 at 10:12 AM ^
If I remember, in one of the earliest MGoBoard posts on this topic, some poster said that Freddy J didn't count because he was old and that Montgomery didn't count because he was light skinned. I think that the NCAA needs to pass some bylaws as to what the requirements are to be considered non-white. Is there an age at which you simply become white? Do you have to be darker than a certain cut-off line?

One giant imaginary dong.
February 17th, 2011 at 10:10 AM ^
If it is possible, I think that BB actually looks like a human personification of a dong.

The man is 40% hot air and the rest of him is full of , well, you know. Not a good combo if you are the next guy to use the bathroom.
Imagine having to see this face every day....(he had extra lube on during the Rose Bowl interview)

6 years and $9 to $10M for Hoke. $1.5M - $1.7M per.
For Mattison, probably $500K per year. Similar or a bit more than he was making with the Ravens.

This is the second post I've read with the same title in the hope that the OP was actually going to tell me the details of the contract only to find it is another question. Question marks go at the end of post titles asking a question boys and girls.

Sorry to disappoint. My fault.
