As of today, I'd vote giving Gonzo a raise -- and restructure them all on incentives for the year we are expecting to have next year with Dak. Then pay them all hansomely if/when the offense is as good as I think and hope it should be next year. I don't really like giving them much of a raise ahead of that...for another pretty average offense under Mullen. Achieve on the same level as the defense and THEN you get paid on the same level as the defensive coaches.


If we do this, where is the $$$ going to come from for a special teams coach we so desparately need? Collins deserved the bump and I agree with incentivizing the contracts. But we need a strong ST coach in the worst way.

You can only have 9 coaches regardless.

We've got the money to make this stuff happen. The athletics dept operated on an $8mil surplus last year -- and will be seeing a huge influx of cash going forward.

We need to put Sallach back in an office and hire a special teams/TE coach. Should be able to get some of the best in the country for $300k or less.

Then, hire a hotshot recruiter for what is essentially the QB coaching position. Should be able to get this one pretty cheap if what people are saying is true about Gonzo getting the OC title and Hev getting the co-OC title.

I'd love to steal Craig or Lashlee from Auburn for competitive money and let them call plays as a true OC for us(what they aren't getting there) -- but I don't see Mullen letting that happen now that Dak is finally the guy.

I agree with everything you said. Especially this

I do think AU would do whatever it takes to keep Craig as much as I would love to see that as well.

Man, this is what I have been saying since the day Les left. We just need a recruiter. Dan's gonna call the plays anyway. Give some recruiter that wants a promotion and a pay raise a chance.
