That’s not enough. We can do additional years through UMAA and we will definitely meet 11/per. Barbers are gonna have to go full A&M, imo. Can’t blame them for wanting him, but they will have to break the bank to win this one.

You going to up your your NIL fund by 5x too?

Contract is half the picture. Can he win big? Is he going to have to fight, and fail, to keep talent out of the portal? Is he going to have to constantly be identifying undervalued players in the portal to bring in? Is he going effectively to live in a hellscape of stress and roster management?

The portal and NIL make this a losing battle for all but about 10 teams. HC is now, oddly, less stressful for the HC of a blue blood. They have the NIL funds to keep their top talent, or poach elite talent from the vast majority of CFB. They don’t have to deal with the stress of roster turnover, they don’t have to recruit, they don’t have to do shite but coach and let the money work.

If Auburn wants him, they get him. He would literally be an idiot to do otherwise. That isn’t just true for OM, it’s a sad reality for everyone who doesn’t have that dumptruck.
