That the new(ish) reality is we are now a stepping stone school

The coaching world is very vagabond to start with, but this is no longer a destination due to the $$ disparity. Ryan Day just got 12.5M, Kirby gets 13M. I didn't do the math, but that's more than our whole staff I believe. I know Dabo gets 11M , but Clemson is unique for non P2 schools. If Pry had been more successful early on, we'd be in danger of losing him.

Ohio State is not another D-1 school. National Champs. The “Big” in Big 10.**

Ohio St. pays assistants better than the NFL, I'd wager.**

Optics stink but as Bitter said: OSU OL coach salary: $1mil; VT OC: $875k

You're delusional if you truly think #1 is true. Absolutely delusional.

The OC position was sub par. And Bowen probably wanted out.**
