Rhoads agrees to new contract at Iowa State

Re: Rhoads agrees to extension at Iowa State

He deserves more than 2 million. Wasn't Turner Gill making more than that?

ISU just doubled his salary for going 18-19 in his first 3 years. I think that is more than justified.

Maybe. But I would bet you there are very few coaches with $20 million guaranteed.

Length of contract makes up for lack of annual salary. Great move by Pollard.

Agreed. I wasn't trying to knock the move. Just saying I wouldn't have been upset to see him get even more than what JP gave him.

Yep. Part of the reason these coaches often run for the next guaranteed money is because they know they could be out of a job and unemployed for a year or two with just a couple bad seasons (or just one at the wrong school), so they take the new money while its there. Guaranteeing a long-term deal can diminish those concerns.

Kansas was just throwing money at a guy that had success at a doormat program, hoping that they would see immediate results. We were just burned by the Cheese, and hired a DC at a low salary hoping to see steady improvement. I can see a bigger raise in the next three years if we can get into the 8 win range.

Wait to see the incentives. This is just base salary.

Plus we don't know details yet. Maybe Rhoads said "Bowl in the endzone". Hey, a man can wish can't he?
 
Re: Rhoads agrees to extension at Iowa State

So if it's 2mil/yr where does that put him in terms of other Big 12 coaches salaries?
 
Re: Rhoads agrees to extension at Iowa State

10 years is a LONG commitment. He has the most job security in the Big 12 now.
 
Re: Rhoads agrees to extension at Iowa State

8th, but the difference between 4-8 is $200k, so they are all within spitting distance of each other.

and 32 in all of FBS (at least according to that article from a few months ago).
