We could offer about $10 million.

Depends on the contract length. We'll also have to pay assistants with that $10 million.

i wonder if they would still be able to use the currently allocated salaries from the Ath Dept on top of the 10mill.

Would we? If the $10mm is outside funds, wouldn't you just pay them with the SMU funds budgeted to pay Bennett and staff?

<edit>
the same thing viking is saying

lets just see if we can get someone really good for 2 years paying them 5 mil a year!

I am glad to see that Orsini is taking this hire seriously and working through the process. Unlike many in the Mustang nation, it is more important to hire Mr. Right instead of Mr. Right-now.

Can we yell "All In! All In!"?

"We'll move when we can get the right guy," Orsini said. "Until we can get our guy, there's no celebration here."

You've criticized Orsini in the past for saying something without saying anything at all. Are you now not able to realize that this statement from him is a euphemistic way of saying "We are going to get the scraps from the table, but we hope they are nice scraps."...?

A+

Again, I'd like to see him play poker.

Don't forget that they might have to use some of that cash to buyout the new coach's contract at his current school.
