Fuente made a case this season and a really strong case today.
What is a realistic salary we would offer to Fuente? Would we go $3-4 million?

He's making $1.4 mill @ Memphis (Thanks for that info, CIYE) so I wouldn't be opposed to tripling that.

The insiders on 247 say we could go as high as 6 million and year and that money won't be an issue
eta- that would be for someone like Dantonio or Gary Patterson though. Herman, Smart and Fuente would probably get 3-4

Probably just over $3M if he's our guy.
IMO:
Kirby won't leave Bama except for a SEC HC job.
Herman will get picked up by a P5 team this season.
Fuente will get picked up by a P5 team this season.
If SoCal goes after Kelly, some current other NFL guy or someone from the West Coast, we won't be mixing it up with them. We both may go after Herman, but Herman won't be in the top 3 on their search board.
Maryland paid $2M for Edsall.
Virginia paid $3.1M for London
Purdue paid $2.1M for Hazzel
Illinois paid $1M for Cubit.
Miami paid $A2.5M for Golden
Besides SoCal, we aren't going up against any other college teams who could outbid us (except if utk or uga or texas get involved in the coach search.) Even then though, utk is financially strapped for cash, Butch's buyout is big. Also, uga won't ever fire Richt, they don't have the AD with the stones to do that.
We are in a really good position to get 1 of the several legit candidates we are looking at. I would discourage anyone from getting too focused on getting 1 specific guy right now. There are still a lot of games for these guys to prove themselves and things could happen b/w now and then that makes the "Pick of The Week,' this week look like dog shite 6 weeks form now.
We are going to get someone great, we're going to get one of our top choices, just let it play out.
