12.5 mil for what? What did Day actually do? OSU bought the roster, one of the best OCs in college football, one of the best DCs in college football. All ryan day had to do was stand on the sideline and let everyone else coach and play.

I'm going to take up Dshans' mantle and point out something here that sticks out like a sore thumb and is a somewhat common grammar error: the use of the word apart. You are not apart of something. Apart does not mean the same thing as "a part." In fact, they mean the opposite of each other. "A part" means you are included in, make up a portion of the whole, are a member of... you are a part of something. "Apart" means exactly the opposite of that. the "A" is a prefix meaning not. For example, atheist means not theistic; asexual means not sexual; apolitical mean not political. "Apart" means NOT a part of. If you are a member of a group, you're a part of that group. If you and your wife have fallen out of love, the two of you have grown apart.

I guess there's so much money sloshing around that programs are throwing huge pay bumps for proven guys - and some, like Murray, may worry their head coach is on hot seat with a short trigger - but it feels like there are more lateral moves of assistants among major programs than in the past.

If the last few years have shown us anything it’s that anybody can be poached from. I think it has a lot to do with how much the perceived value of G5 coaching gigs has gone down. You don’t see top position assistants jumping to go be OCs/DCs in the G5 anymore. The lateral move for a pay raise is the new upward mobility

That’s a good point. Even a few years ago you’d see a well-regarded position coach like Lance Taylor go down the CFB food chain (ND to Louisville) to become a coordinator, and down again (Louisville to Western Michigan) to become a head coach.
Now? A well-regarded position coach at a power program can earn as much as a coordinator at a mid-major, and a coordinator earns more than a G5 head coach. And the power program has more resources and a better shot at glory/getting you noticed by the NFL.
So unless you really want to run your own show (which some do) why go down the food chain? But you might jump among power programs for a raise or change of scene.

NIL has changed the game. Can't just do a really good job at a smaller school to get ahead. Fast track: go to a school with a bag, acquire talent, win take credit and move up

On the other hand, what does it say about Mickens if he doesn't even get consideration from a program like Maryland?

Right but how much longer is Maryland gonna wait for Locksley to make Maryland a winner? This may be a make or break year for him.

Like us, PSU staying strong. Drayton was a great hire after losing their guy. I have a feeling ND and PSU are gonna get real good real fast.

They had some good years under Fridge before they forgot they were Maryland and canned him and now they’re cursed forever as a result.

I was being slightly facetious but actually, yeah, going back to 1985 they've finished ranked exactly four times - three of which were Friedgen's first three years - and they've had far more 2-and-3-win seasons than 10-win seasons.
For a school in a state with decent high school talent that's a pretty awful track record. But clearly they don't much care.
