To be a bit of a Devil's Advocate here Jerry does have 6 NBA championships and a World Series trophy in his collection.

The 1997-98 Bulls' payroll was just a touch over $63 million. Jordan made $33 million of that, and Toni Kukoc was the next highest-paid player at $4.56 million. They paid what they had to for Jordan, but the Bulls were cheap as hell even back then. Players were just a little more willing to take less money in order to win championships.
 
So all Gene Chizik would have had to have said is Auburn was his dream job from day 1?

I get that. Really, I do. But I guess that I must simply be a very different sort of person. To me, 2mil and 6mil doesn't come down to the difference of green in my account.

For me, coaching in my hometown, for my alma mater where I played, and basically having a lifetime welcome and legendary status, where the actual mayer calls me "The Mayor" more than makes up that difference.

To each his own.

This. Either way, you are rich. In Ames you are a legend with a statue and the court named after you. In the NBA, odds are you are just another footnote in the league's history. Once the money issue is done, I would be focused on my legacy.
 
We'll know within 30 minutes of when he actually makes a decision. No one could keep it that quiet. If he has made a decision, only he and his wife know.

You're right, no one can keep it that quiet. That's why there is so much noise about him not being here next year.

I thought the legacy would be a bigger issue, especially in his home town. It all started when he bought a house north of town and enrolled his kids in Gilbert schools instead of Ames. That was the first sign that the legacy would be incomplete.
