Funny if it’s Bielema because I doubt his end goal is to stay at Illinois for long.
Big Ten Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2025 ("if they win nine games or so, he’ll be on the hunt to move.”)
- Thread starter BleedGopher
- Start date
PJ is getting $6 million per year through 2029. Kirby Smart is on top at $13 million.
Ryan Day $12.5
Lincoln Riley $11.5
Dabo $11
Lanning $11
Deion $10.8
Sarkisian $10.8
You can't convince me if Lincoln Riley wets the bed again in 2025 and USC comes calling that PJ wouldn't sprint to double his salary. Heather in Beverly Hills is a match made in heaven for her.
If UNLV finds a backer to pay him $11-12 million, I can see them in Las Vegas.
I don't know where he fits...if Texas A&M doesn't win...they got money, BYU, Texas Tech spend money. Would he leave for Michigan? This may be Moore's last season if they tank.
But, the Gophers have to win minimum 9 regular season games and they can't lose the other three by four touchdowns apiece before PJ's "the hot coach". It would help PJ if the other guys on coaching search lists had bad years to eliminate some other candidates. It seems it always the "hot" guys who get hired.
Hopefully, he's not going anywhere but if he wins big....tough to keep him. He's got a family, he's competitive, he wants to be at the top of the pay scale.

UCLA for instance?
Perfect fit indeed. He is rowing away with a boat load of money, can win 7 or 8 games a year and guys here are talking about building a statue. Why leave?

Not sure why people think PJ or Heather would be so drawn to the “glitzy and glamorous” places. Haven’t they both basically lived in the Midwest their whole lives? They both have split custody with other parents in the Midwest. I get it, if someone offers a big number from anywhere in the country it’s tough to turn down, but I don’t get this whole Hollywood Fleck narrative.

As far as I know he didn't leave for UCLA.

Maybe...though at one point he talked about a school being the primary school in the state being important and you don't get that with the Florida and California schools.

Don't forget Mrs. Fleck. She has a lot of pull! They are true Midwesterners. IMO, he stays for the long haul. It's more than money. If Michigan comes calling...?
