Who pays this $1.6MM? It ain't these mysterious "rich" alum-- it's all us season ticket holders who will front the bill for the new HC.
Same way JJ is gonna pay for Romo's 60+MM deal
I think I liked it better when the players got paid more than the coaches

A couple problems with your statement.
Do the math. How many season ticket holders are there? I can guarantee that the math doesn't equal the new salary. In fact it falls well short.
Secondly, All NFL teams split 3.6 billion dollars in TV revenue equally. In the Cowboys case, the share represents over 70% of the revenue. The point is, the Cowboys don't pay salaries off of ticket sales and neither do we.
It's ALWAYS about the money, bro'.
The point is not how salaries are paid, but that these ticket prices for reserved seats will explode next season... and there is no reason except the coach. Same schedule, same team, same stadium, nothing but expectations of the new coach [And I'm still glad PB is gone].
The loyal season ticket holder gets hammered.
As for the C'boys, you're right about the $$$. So, why don't they give a way free passes if it doesn't matter?Same similar deal with Cowboys-- expectations.
New stadium, WOW of Romo etc. Of course, the math DOES work @ $100-200 per ticket x 80,000 people x 8 games will pay for the Romo deal in a single season.
All I'm saying: in ncaa DI FB & the NFL, the tail is starting to wag the dog.
