lol took me a second but he thought I meant another school offered and it was going to be hard for MSU to match the 9mil and 4 yrs.
look at the sumbitch i posted. kids a clone. at the ncaa regionals two years ago people thought he was rock and were asking him for his herbie hancock.
Croom was in the first year of a contract that ran through the 2011 season and paid $1.7 million in its first year. http://www.clarionledger.com/article/20081130/SPORTS0301/811300380/1079/SPORTS030102 An almost $9 mil contract over 4 years would be $2.2 million/year for Peterson to come to MSU. Nov 2007 -- In a bid to keep Petersen and blunt the appeal of salaries paid to upper echelon coaches, Boise State administrators sweetened Petersen's contract at the end of last season. With his base salary and incentives, Petersen could earn more than $1 million this season. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3129096 So assuming the deal is Peterson could double his $1 million/year salary by going to MSU, that would mean that even if he sucks at MSU, he will still have that 4-year contract making what it would take him 8 years to make at Boise State. But the guy is young, only 44. If it just came down to being a winning coach, hell yeah I wouldn't go to MSU. Boise State is a powerhouse program in their mid-major world of the WAC.
Peterson can do better than MSU is all I am saying. He needs to wait out the right opportunity. This surely ain't it. I applaud MSU to offer up the money. This is a once in a lifetime hire for them. Kinda.
