Nice value. Hopefully that leaves us a good chunk of change for the assistants.

5-year, $2-million for Ash
- Thread starter mikemarc1
- Start date
I am hoping that the assistant pool salaries is in the 4.0M - 5.0M range.
Him getting a couple of nice coordinators and a couple great recruiters/position coaches will be key to getting him on the right track.
I have to believe the Board and AD know this.

Yep, good value and more $$$ left for assitants. To compare, Durkin is getting 2.5 per at MD. And I am biased, but Ash > Durkin.

BOG chair Greg Brown and BOG Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics Committee chair Ken Schmidt were part of the interview process along with newly hired athletics director Pat Hobbs. Brown sought the advice of Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez, Ash's previous boss, during the hiring.

That is the base pay. "The deal includes bonuses based upon achievement of annual performance and academic incentives established by the university."

Nice raise for him. For those expecting a higher salary, just because you can pay it doesn't mean you do.
I would say $3-$4M and that's a very nice chunk of change for the assistant pool (for us...).
Yea good idea. Let's overpay someone for the sake of overpaying.
So if he was our man should we have paid $4m just to show how serious we are? I'd rather sign him for what he would take and use/save that money for other areas
Nice. I was thinking $2M-$2.5M so glad to see it's on the lower side. Makes it easier for everyone to swallow and still some meat left on the bone for assistants.
$2 million is still towards the bottom of the Big Ten (heck, towards the bottom of the P5) in terms of salary. Of course if he does well that contract will get significantly upgraded.
I have heard we have around $5-6mm for HC and staff. Figure $3.5mm for staff. That is a pretty good budget. As an example, we could pay $800k each for OC & DC, $400k for ST coordinator and $250k each for the remaining position coaches. Given that Ash has a defensive background we coud go a little less on the DC side and put it towards a more experienced offensive staff.
No surprise, I've been saying 2-2.5 is about the usual range for most first time P5 HCs who were either P5 coordinators or low mid major HCs previously.
I'm not interested in that. I want to see if those rumors of opening the wallet were really true or just orchestrated BS. I want to see it in the quality of the staff. I don't need to see it in the HC for me be to believe it really is a new day. 700K per coordinator which actually I'd like to see closer to 1M for the OC and around 500K for the DC. Then say about 2.5 for the rest of the staff and I'll believe we've actually changed attitudes.

I was thinking between 2 - 2.5 mill for a coordinator. 2 mill was a minimum. They should have a ton of money for coordinators and assistants.
I hope we change a few attitudes among the donors with these numbers being throw around. $$$$
The issue with assistants is the same one with HC - you can throw money at people, but they might not take it. Especially the case this season with all of the opening.
Lets see what happens. Maybe a couple of guys really like Ash and decide to give it a go here.
No - that would be dumb - but you cant really make a conclusion about our level of seriousness on this hire. Basically - we paid more than Minnesota or Illinois and a little less than MD. Was that because no one would take our money - or because we didnt offer enough money to lure anyone worth paying that kind of money for. Who knows.
The assistants will somewhat tell the tale, but not entirely, since we have the same problem - people have a choice, and they might choice a more seasoned HC over a guy with no HC experience. Or a a place that was better last year than a place in a rebuild.
If true, that is a solid figure. Let's just call it $3MM. Should be able to attract good OC and DC candidates and a recruiting ace or two.
Full contract details. Tons of incentives in there.

So the buyout is $600k per year through 2019, meaning if someone tried to poach him next year we'd get $2.4m or $1.8m in 2018. I'm ok with that and if he's successful in the next two 2 years, one would assume we'd offer a lucrative extension.
It sounds like they got the guy that impressed them the most. Ash gets a significant raise in pay and the opportunity to be a head coach for the first time. I don't see why what we're paying him makes a difference.
He seemed to want this job and people outside of the RU circle seem to think this is a good hire -- especially with his Big Ten experience -- that's good enough for me.
I don't think so necessarily. A coach making 3-4M yea you can't get because you're not doubling his salary. An OC like Lincoln Riley is making 500K, double his salary and force OU to match if they don't there's a good chance you could get him. Or an Eddie Gran at Cincy makes 350K, double his salary or a little bit more, you'll get him too. I don't think it's an exact comparison to HC. Mind you it has to be worthy of these salaries, you don't just throw the money at someone who is not deserving of it.
500K or so per coordinator is OK but nothing earth shattering and those rumors of us really opening the wallet were likely BS. Friedgen got 500K and McDaniels also made around 400-450K I think so not a big difference to those guys. If you push it up to around 1.4M budget for the coordinators and about 2.5M for the rest of the staff then I'd say that's a "new world" for us.
