Is Todd Dodge the idiot and [deleted]...and i thought SMU was the toughest job in CFB?

Paul Johnson is one of the best coaches in America no matter what offense he runs. He would succeed here. We would be lucky to have a qualty coach like Coach Johnson here.

SMU is reported to be paying $1.5 million a year for Johnson, which almost triples the highest amount SMU has ever paid a head coach.

OMG, OMG, please let us land Johnson. This literally would blow the Doh hire away. Make it happen Orsini. Best candidate by far.

If the 1.5 million is accurate, that's pretty good compared to Joe Paterno who makes approximately $500k (Penn States sells out for every game).

Seems like an outrageous salary for a service academy coach.

Johnson's a seriously hot commodity. And deservedly so.

I'm probably wrong, but did I hear correctly that Art Briles will be getting 1.8 at Baylor...previously a C-USA coach?

The State schools have limited contracts that are highly supplemented by the boster organizations, much in a manner that we are doing right now. I would imagine that Joe P's take home is more than $500,000/year.

Can PJ succeed here? Once again he took nothing,came here and beat the crap out of SMU in his first game in division 1. I'll take my chances on him.

by **DanFreibergerForHeisman** » Thu Nov 29, 2007 7:22 pm

Sounds like Johnson is a great football guy but he certainly isn't a "wow" hire. We'll see if he can recruit. I'll certainly give him a chance.

BEAT ARMY!

by **jimhagle** » Thu Nov 29, 2007 7:34 pm

I guess he did a decent job of recruiting at Georgia Southern. The guy went 62-10.

by **Pony Fan** » Thu Nov 29, 2007 7:36 pm

He will do just fine with recruiting, contrary to stallion's wishes.

by **SMU88** » Thu Nov 29, 2007 7:37 pm

I am surprised that Johnson has become our leading candidate. Navy alumni are not going to let him go without a fight $$$.
