Looks like the Hogs are trying to show recruits they are committed to turning it around.

A little more than that from my perspective, Mike.

One, the hiring of Shannon down at Florida. He, and Smith, were Co-DC's last season. You can't quite call it a promotion, but definitely could say he's been given the reigns.

Two, the average pay of a defensive coordinator in the SEC is now at roughly 1 million. A move that allows Arkansas to "keep up with the Joneses" fits as well.

(BTW, speaking of DC pay: Here we have Muschamp making around 1.7 per year. Miss State gets Diaz to return for a three year deal with 1.8. That's NOT keeping up with ANYONE.)

Diaz getting $1.8M? Miss Satate is done. D. U. N. Done.

@riz 1.8 over three years versus Boom getting 1.7 per year.

@TerryP you make some valid points as always. The point I was trying to make and did not do very well is that CBB is trying to show recruits that the program is stable.

Texas A&M overpaying for everything these days. Chavis at $1.67m is crazy and he pays zero state income tax in Texas. So he gets an extra $80k a year in income tax savings by living in Texas as Louisiana is 6%.

The comments in that ESPN article make me laugh. One season and the Ohio fans are already talking trash.

@planomateo Service Desk Analyst for a telemarketing company...what the hell is that? Desk, phone, it rings, and you handle customer service.

I digress...

Agreed. The loss of Shannon coaching linebackers...not an easy guy to replace in terms of coaching acumen.

Randy Shannon could also bring in some kids to Fayetteville that normally would not give Arky the time of day. He will be missed.

And on top of that, it is for a computer software company. He is a geek for geeks!!

Everything is correct. Even basketball. Rest assured, Rick Stansbury is paid more than your normal assistant basketball coach.

Oh. Big difference. And State is still done.
