How much would you pay to keep Jim Tressel

[mooktarr]

And how much is too much for a college coach?
Saban gets 4.5 mill How much would you pay to keep Tressel?

I would pay what ever it takes.

 

[BuckeyePride]

I'd make him the top 3 paid coaches in CFB... if it required, then top paid.

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

He should definitely make more than Charlie Wide and now Nick Saban, which is an absolute joke just because Bama is so damn desperate.

 

[Dryden]

I'm betting JT did a little dance when he heard that Saban is getting 32M guaranteed for eight years, knowing that his own contract will be ripped up should OSU beat Florida.

I am fine with JT making 4,000,000.01 per year.

He is the best coach in the business and should be compensated accordingly.

 

[Thump]

$ 4,266,944.34 per season.

I doubt JT will seek Saben type money. I would expect more a contract like the old Ball-coach got where he includes clauses for his assistants to get raises, etc.

Not that he doesn't deserve it. He is without a doubt a top coach, but ND and Alabama needed to pay their coaches for status and credibility, not something tOSU generally is seeks.

I would imagine he will be in the 2-2.5 mill range with fat bonus money and well paid assistants.

 

[martinss01]

i think you pay whatever it takes. however, i don't think that is a significant conscern with tressel.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

100 Billion Dollars!

 

[Best Buckeye]

100 Billion Dollars!

Is that per year or per game?
I know I would match what ever the top paid coach gets. How would anyone substantiate letting JT go?
That would be a death wish.

My thoughts as well.

 

[zBuckeye10z]

Whatever it takes because he has done an amazing job at tOSU and there wont be anyone that will duplicate what he did so pay him what he wants to stay.

100 Billion Dollars!

I see your "100 billion dollars", and raise you 1 billion, million, fafillion, shabolubalu million illion yillion......yen

 

[bucknutz]

I would give him what he wants, although I don't think he will demand everything like everyone else has stated.

I agree. He seems far too grounded to get involved in greedy contract holdouts and such.

He's already making that. Ante up!

Terms of Jim Tressel's contract:
2006 -- $2,378,900
2007 -- $2,300,900
2008 -- $2,325,900

As we all know, if he wins next week, those numbers are only going up, and rightfully so.
