I don't think they'd have to go that much bigger. This was pretty interesting if you click on the chart you can see salaries....

I heard that they offered Rich Rodriguez 2.2 million a year.

Cajun: that would be a 100% raise, but I think there is a penalty clause in his contract, which Bama would certainly pay!

I agree that they'd gladly pay that, but with that said, I better shut up...

I'm female, and since I am, I don't know anything about football.

Don't worry...I think the "monster" has been quieted.

Hey, I posted on this board it was Rich Rodriguez almost a week ago!
and I can say with 100% accuracy that an offer to Saben was NEVER made,
even one for 5 mill
and so can ESPN's Chris Mortensen (just reported) if you do not believe me
Bama would never do something like that
Coach Rod will be presented either tonight or tomorrow
he has already stated he will not be at the Gator Bowl

it's funny, being somewhat "in the know" during this search
now I don't have any "juice" but I know some people who do
so I now understand why people like Oracle laugh at the media
they have no clue what's going on, and when they don't
they'll write up a bunch of garbage to try to force someone to
show their hand~ because how is Coach Rod going to feel if he hears
we offered Saben 5, Spurrier 4, and him 2, it's BS, and never happened
Neinas blew smoke and all the while RR was the main objective

Doc: interesting article..thanks for the link. Big Bucks...I think the teamates should have dinner on the coach regularly!
