per Joe:
University President Eric Kaler pulled a stunner this past week when he convinced Coyle, 47, to leave Syracuse less than 11 months into that job. It took a five-year contract with an $850,000 salary. Minnesota paid Syracuse another half-million to cover the buyout in Coyle’s contract.
Kaler invested heavily in Coyle, who has built a reputation not so much as a fixer but as a program stabilizer. He is used to wading into topsy-turvy environments and delivering a dose of confident calm.
“Mark’s such a high-quality, low-ego, humble, hardworking, smart guy,” said Chris Petersen, who coached football for Coyle at Boise State. “He’s really good at his job. He can assess a situation quickly and figure out what needs to be done and then go after it the right way.”
