Took 5 minutes to post. CF is running out of gas.

Aww yeah!

Equally big, if not bigger, is the assistant pool raise. That's huge.

I figured that'd be a big sticking point for Campbell, nice to see he got it.

Agreed. Head coaching money is at the point where almost anyone at the P5 level has 'set for life' money, so having 'the right' job is as important. But coordinator money is a lot more variable. Hopefully can hold onto as much of the staff as possible.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Wonder if the incentives stay the same?

 

[Omaha Cy]

So.... hopefully the contract buyout structure remains the same and nobody has pockets that deep.

 

[cyputz]

Thank you Jamie!!!

 

[Gorm]

I'll be curious to see the details on any possible buyout.

 

[WastedTalent]

Very nice. Perfect number of years.

Herbie changing his tune from the "He's Gone" comment 6 weeks or so ago. At least he's being complimentary:

This is a great day for Iowa State University.

Well-deserved for CMC and Co. He gave us a discount as he could easily have made more if he wanted to, but he wanted to achieve at Iowa State...and it feels great.

Remember CMC’s commitment when asked to spend more on ISU. It’s just the beginning.

Dear networks, thinking about a new hire? Don't hire this idiot!

I totally agree. I love what Coach has done with this team and hope his success continues as a Cyclone for a very long time......But what good is a contract to us when the Elite P5s, with deep pockets, want a proven winner?

 

[ArgentCy]

So let's see 6 years takes us right to 2024? Not a coincidence.

Herbie owning it:

 

[Cydar]

Suck it Herbstreit.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Between the 4-6 highest paid coach in the Big 12, about the 28th highest paid coach in the NCAA from what I can tell.

Also whoever was arguing with the idiot at WVU Scout site can go boast. He was right.
