Or maybe Beckman needs a pay-cut.

Fitz at Northwestern is underpaid. He's been pretty consistent with what he's had to work with in terms of recruits..

Hope makes less than some OC or DC....damn,

So if you jack his pay this year...do you get pay cuts in the future. This was one year with an inspired team...how many one hit wonders go on to do great things? Not saying BOB won't, but why the rush to reward someone for one season. I get it that it is under very difficult circumstances, but if we struggle the next few years you paid him more than the market would say he is worth.

I would normally agree with you. However, with what we have seen him accomplish this year people have remained interested. If he were to leave, a large number of players transfer, and the recruiting class be lost, I do not see that support continue by the masses. I feel that the amount of revenue that would be lost due to a decrease in season tickets sold would be far more then the what we would need to pay him to stay. My hope is that he comes out after the Wisconsin game and just puts an end to all the rumors and announces that he is staying and this is pointless.

$2.3 million with 5% raise per year is not being cheap sir. I mean you really want to get into this how many hot shot cannot miss coaching prospects have missed...no Belicheck tree has done that well in recent years...if you tell me Weiss at ND, you will be slapped with a lobster.

I cannot see BOB leaving for anything but the NFL. No point to go to another college.

I actually like lobster. just remember your position if he is hired away....just saying..
