Nah we will pay much more than that this time. I'll be shocked if not $1 mil plus

$775k was four years ago, for a young coach who wanted to be a head coach, who had a reputation as a recruiter and was a position coach for Nick Saban.
For Huff Marshall was an entry level Head Coaching job and we all knew that or at least suspected that from the beginning. If we try to keep Huff, I'm sure the number will be in excess of 7 figures. The market today will demand north of 7 figures for anyone remotely qualified to fill the head coaching position at Marshall. If we opt to go with a coach who has had moderate success and prior head coaching experience the price will start in the ballpark of $1.5 and up.
I equate this shopping experience to the sticker shock I experience when I go buy a similar make/model truck every 5-6 years. I'm getting essentially the same truck, just a newer model, but it costs me more money than I paid the last time I bought a truck. I justify it to myself by knowing that I get what I pay for. I think Marshall is in the same situation right now, but regardless, we have a game to win this week. Go Herd!
