So 2.4mil per year for Paris at USC
Clemson pays Brownell about 3mil per year
We need to do anything in our power to get Richey a raise to $600k very soon, he deserves it
We need to give him a bonus for each of the years he has already been here, rather than raising his salary. And a bonus to be paid at the end of next year, based upon the additional year of service and based upon performance and achievement criteria; with part of all that being based upon his still performing all his regular duties as our coach for as long as the team is still in regular season and post-season play next year. Furthermore, we need to optimize (in Furman's favor) the stipulation of his buyout clause to the extent feasible for when he does leave (probably next year).
He deserves the money. However, I very much doubt $600k or any other amount that Furman can pay will be enough to keep him here if and when he wants to leave. The UofSC contract for Paris indicates what CBR will get once he decides to leave. There are 5 other SEC schools with new coaches. I would be surprised if any of the 5 are giving their new coaches much less that what UofSC is giving its new coach. So this illustrates what we are up against.
