Reads like Rod expects to have a winning season year 1.

7-5 would be terrific under the circumstances. The exodus of players will begin after the bowl game

I'm excited to see who he hires as DC. My vote goes to Zac Alley but there are other good candidates too. He makes 800k at Oklahoma. We may be able to steal him for a million or so. A good defense is going to be key. Rich will have no problems getting the offense going once he has a qb.

7-5 with a win against Pitt. I’ll be happy with that.

It was a stipulation in the contract.

Certainly hope so.

His contract is pretty low base salary. If he wants to make big money he will have to win. I'm always in favor of incentive-based contracts. It's just seems like it's a win-win for everyone.

3.75 million a year for 5 years. Good contract

Yep. Initially it was being rumored $2.5 per year. I wonder if the length of the decision had something to do with negotiations on raising salary?

Rich Rod said hiring defensive staff was the #1 priority. After he watched that last night, I'm sure he now understands that it is the most important hires.

Yep and then hit the portal hard. We need a lot of help

Possibly. Cause I had heard Rod wanted a life time contract. So if he wins he just might get that considering his age.
