Wow.... Barta hands out the best contracts. KF and Fran are just stealing money from the U of I.

Honestly, people can complain about the amount of money that guy makes, but he has kept Iowa relevant for a long time. That is definitely worth the money in a day in age where everyone wants the new, shiny things.

KF produces a better product than most of his fbs peers. Fran...

He brings in a ton of cash too, also donates much of it back to the U of I hospitals.

These bonuses will look much more excessive once we start beating them. He’s getting terribly overpaid, but they’re okay with it as long as they win the big one.

Hey he’s probably gonna finish 3rd in the b1g least. What do you expect?

 

[CyCrazy]

Wtf did the Tennessee coach do to get 100k? Kirk needs a new agent.

Stuck around for that ********.

This is the way fb contracts should be structured. Kirks base is very low relative to his peers. The bonus looks big because he needs to maintain a certain level of stability to get it. This structure makes it easier to fire crappy coaches without huge buyouts e.g. Taggart.

Kirk is middle of the big ten last I knew and barely top 20 in the country in total comp. Seems like a good deal.

At least KF makes the post season on a regular basis.

Fran must have dirt on Barta.

If someone offers to pay you a lot of money and even if you think you're being overpaid you still take the money.

Well, his team is barely rated in the top twenty.

I heard that they did pay Modern Piping finally but a handful of smaller contractors lost their business because of the non-payment. Modern Piping was big enough to withstand it, others weren’t so lucky..
