Wilson

[Bigdaddy76 111]

This may be a little premature. Lets say Coach Wilson gets the ship righted within the next couple years and becomes a hot coaching commodity. Do ya'll think that the the Admin. ponys up and pays him, or do they go ahead and let him go? I don't know the exact numbers, but I am sure his pay pales in comparison to the rest of the coaches in Big 10. I know, crimson colored glasses.  haha  But I really have a good feeling about where this team is headed!

if he can put something special together, by IU standards, I know Glass will find money for him and his coaches. However, will that be enough to keep him? Why play in front of 52,000 (if full) when you can play in front of much larger crowds with bigger recruiting budgets and in states with much more talent to recruit? I see him eventually coaching in the ACC. Just kinda feels right. I think he is from the Carolinas and that area is laden with talent. Now, with all that said, he needs to win here first. Bloomington has been a career ender.

Well, didn't something leak about Indiana possibly have plans to enclose the south endzone? That could put seating closer to around 60,000. I don't remember where, I feel like I have heard that somewhere (Maybe the 247 board?).

 

 

Onto the OP's question, if Wilson can turn Indiana into a winner, then yes, I believe Glass will pay the man.

He is 11th in the B1G coaches last year in salary.  Big jump from 10 to 11.  Minnesota's coach rounds out the bottom.  Last year he was 66th in the nation in pay.  He gets a base from the school of $500k.  He gets a little more than that in guaranteed appearance fees.  Then he has some very particular perks in his contract as well.
