Per a tweet from Channel 8 in Knoxville's Rick Russo. 

And he'll get a "long term" deal, whatever that means. 

When the UofL's of the college football world start paying that kind of money, things have really gone bananas. 

Maybe the Mayan's will prove to be correct.

LOL at Hart, he has managed to get big time raises for both Gundy and Strong

If that's what it would've taken for us to sign him, then I'm happy he turned us down.  He's not worth half that.

That's pretty much where I'm at, too.  $3 million - yeah, pay him that and go with it, but not $4.1 million. He's a good football coach, but he hasn't earned that kind of jump yet.  

The one thing I do respect about Strong is that he doesn't have an agent.  He represents himself.  In this case, it saved him between $200K and $400K.  

Good for him.

Dude, half that is about what Dooley made.  Strong is DEFINITELY worth more than that.

Yeah, but that was about 1000 times what Dooley was worth.

LOL!  I know, but to suggest that what Dooley made is enough for a coach that, while not your favorite, is a clear step up (or so most of the country thinks), just doesn't work.

But I am sure you weren't using the "half" literally...just saying that's more than Strong deserves.  Which I agree with, but I didn't think $4 million a year to UT was outrageous.  Not when that salary barely makes the top 10.....
