Take Rich Rod! :rofl:

We're what, two weeks removed from them reporting Oliver Luck was a done deal?

I know they reached out to Luck, Castiglione, Jurich, Long, Smith...did they contact Bowlsby as well? Seems like I recall contact with Swarbrick?

Take Rich Rod! :rofl:

You have the wrong Arizona school...Todd Graham.

FWIW, both Graham and Patterson just signed contract extensions with ASU...but we know what that means in today's age.

Yeah, I almost didn't post it due to the Oliver Luck talk recently.

Chip Brown hasn't been very dependable at all, so take that for what its worth > http://texas.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1570738

So apparently now ADs get to play the same money game some head coaches do...Nice!<iframe id="rufous-sandbox" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="display: none;" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>

Jeff Long has an interesting contract. We see coaching contracts structured with bonuses based on academic performance, SECCG appearances, and appearances in BCS bowl games. Long's contract is structured a lot like that...heavily incentive laden.

He's getting bonuses, per sport, based on those sports success rates. It was one of the main things I noticed when there were so many Arkansas fans saying "Long didn't care about winning" when he fired Petrino. Not only was it ludicrous at face value it made no sense when looked at from a financial point of view.

Wow! Interesting contract. We know what his agent does each time there's an AD job opening.
