More of an incentive based contract than what he may have had at Kentucky. Very big opportunity for him to pad his pockets quite a bit.

Congrats, will certainly be interesting to watch moving forward. Clearly the highest floor of anybody they could have hired, and probably an overall step up from Muss, especially in terms of consistency.

If Kentucky hires Drew, the league will have gotten better all around.

This is what makes this league so much fun. We're such a filthy rich glutinous league.

Good luck Hawgs .... our barnyard brothers from other mothers! Viva la Class of '92!



PS ETA: Sorta reminds me of the day we officially announced Spurrier. But we've got a long history of hiring Championship winning coaches from McGuire to Dietzel to Holtz to Spurrier .... never could quite get over the hump. Y'all may do it again with Cal, Hawg fans. The timing may be right for the both of you .... kismet.
