It seems like a dumb contract number, but this is where the market is moving. You can save 4 million a year and hire Jeff Grimes and then buy him out and do this again in 3 years or you can spend the extra 4 million a year and try to get a guy that has a much higher chance of succeeding. It is a risk, but if the boosters are going to put the money up…

To me, you don’t build a $92 million football facility to fill it with Jeff Grimes and a bunch of 3 stars from Oneonta.

OR you could call a guy at Liberty who'd walk barefoot over lava to Auburn for $6.5MM/yr + $4MM for his staff and you're just as likely to get the same results.

Plain and simple, money is just not an issue for Auburn.
