Encouraging news - some nice prospects in there. Mullen is 38, Fulmer 60 - but either would be good hires, as would Bellotti. $5 mil a year sounds a bit steep, though, when your stadium seats only 50,000.

Not really. $50 per ticket x 50,000 seats x 7 home games = $17.5 million in ticket revenue alone. Plus the mega-millions coming into the program through the Big Ten network. $5 mil a year for the entire coaching staff is a significant budget, but hardly out of the realm of possibility.
 

Doogie,

Where did you get the item regarding the $25 Mil over 5 years? I think I see where you got most of the other stuff, but not that.
 

Thanks to Doogie for continuing to put out the information:

Still hearing that Hoke = in play... just a matter of whether his agent is using the "U"? Also, could Sumlin be lying in the weeds?

Hot off of Twitter...
 

Keep on pluggin', Doogie...you contribute far more here than your "haters". It seems to be much easier for some on here to ridicule you than actually provide any useful information. And yeah...I like KFAN, too.

Unfortunately a fair amount of that left over money after paying for costs such as travel, etc.. Is needed for funding the other non revenue generating sports.
 


Jagodzinski??? No way

Athletic director Joel Maturi told a couple of people that he was in Omaha in the last five days to meet with former Boston College coach Jeff Jagodzinski. He's the current head coach of the Omaha Nighthawks in the United Football League. With Maturi not at Williams Arena on Monday night, it makes sense that he was out of town. Omaha was the likely location (Doogie)

This guy should not even be considerd for this job. He got fired from BC and had a very short NFL carrer now he is in the UFL! What skills does he have? Nothing at all.

But some of you guys would want this clown, but trash Trestmen who has been to three Gray Cups and won two. You say the CFL is not football, but oh the UFL is such a powerhouse!

What concerns me is Maturi even talked to this load.
 

$5M for a coaching staff is just unreal. It's twisted. It's disfunctional. It's wrong. But of we want a real program here we gotta pay. Go big or go home. Like the other guy said, this will seem like a deal 5 years from now.
 

What I don't get is that Maturi supposedly meets with Jagodzinski, who was fired from his last job basically for insubordination, yet he won't talk to someone like Leach. Double-standard?

My "sources" tell me these guys "sources" are a bunch of tools that have no more real information than the rest of us. But don't ask me to name my sources, 'cause I super-duper pinky swore I wouldn't mention them by name.

Bottom line is if these guys throw enough s*it on the wall, eventually something will stick. That's all they're doing. My favorite was Souhan's "Tubby to Auburn" breaking news.

It's tough to pick my favorite, but Souhan must have 3 of my top 5 favorites

He got fired from BC for looking into another job. It didn't have anything to do with his coaching ability.

Leach is a head case that Maturi doesn't like. Who was fired for an incident involving a student. Just a little more than *gasp* interviewing for an NFL head coaching job.

As far as Trestman, Jagodzinski actually has college head coaching experience. Which seems to be the biggest knock on Trestman.

I don't really think Trestman or Jagodzinski would be terrible options. At least they know the game of football, and at some point maybe the U will realize just how important that part of the equation is.
 





I've finally talked myself into Trestman. 3 years as head coach with 3 title game appearances and back to back championships. He was good enough to avoid the championship game loss hangover and he was good enough to get back to back titles. If we can't get leach he should be able to get everyone exicted.

It is not a very well hidden aspect of the BC fiasco that the administration was looking for a reason to fire this guy. He was fired in two extremely peculiar circumstances (BC and Tampa). It's not a coincedence.
 


He was fired a week and half before the season started (he was only a coordinator), by a rookie Head Coach who comes from the defensive side of the ball. Jagz went there with experience and was by far the most experienced coach on the offensive side of the ball, and he was let go. This was a guy who had been a coordinator in the NFL already, so I think it is pretty obvious that it wasn't merely about him "not getting the plays in on time".

It would make more sense if this occured under almost anyother circumstance.

Agreed. Jagodzinski is a good football guy and while those guys aren't dime-a-dozen, there are enough of them out there that it requires the exhibit of some measure of responsibility to retain high-profile positions. There must be some word on the street about Jagz that has him coaching in Omaha instead of the NFL or FBS.

We don't know exactly what went down at BC. We don't know exactly what went down in Tampa. We don't know exactly why he fell all the way to coaching in the UFL. But something clearly smells rotten here and anyone with an ounce of sense should run away. Especially a program that cannot afford another screw-up.

Agreed. I wonder if Maturi was feeling him out for interest in a coordinator position at the behest of another candidate. That is probably a stretch, but I can't believe Jagz was ever a serious candidate for the head coaching position.
 

Bob, Head & Howeda-

Agree 100%. Run far, far away from Jagz. Tom Pelissaro from 1500 is a BC alum. He stated on the radio yesterday that Jagz has NO interest in recruiting and running a program. I would stay as far away as possible.
