He signed his 6 year deal today. Some minor changes but mostly the same deal from the LOI.

It case anyone's wondering how that stack's up against the other head coaches in college football, see here:

Quick synopsis - RR is tied for 13th with Bobby Bowden, Coach Little Brother is 52nd, making less than half of what RR makes. Much like our graduates, our coaches make more than their MSU brethren.

That's an interesting list.

These guys need raises!

Gundy (I'M A MAN)
Fitzgerald
Brewster
Leach
Leavitt (even though he's a douche)

EPIC FAIL:

Weis
June Jones (Maybe not FAIL yet, but thats a lot of greenbacks)
Tommy Bowden (oh, he was fired)
Kirk Ferentz

I guess this means Rich isn't going to Clemson. Phew, that was close. When I saw that 80's vintage two seater Cesna was scheduled to fly from Grand Rapids to Myrtle Beach, I was afraid.

CW gets the pay he does. Only because nl is beholden to his fat butt! Amazing that he hasn't beaten a top twenty team since taking over...simply amazing!

An interesting note is that RR and Bill Martin have joint responsibility for scheduling opponents, with BM retaining final say. Hopefully we'll stop scheduling pushover guarantee wins like Appalachian State and Toledo.
