Hilarious! Pitt is a University first! You want to pay a coordinator $1MM, $1.5MM? Get real. Go buy Steeler tickets or support PSU. That's just stupid.

You must also be fiscally responsible as well doing that. There are also hostile takeovers as well.
Pitt's athletic department runs multimillion deficits annually.
You're mistaken.
I think that is what he is alluding too and was pointing out that many on here believe pitt athletics just have millions laying around and it's a funny notion because it's not true.
The " Ray of Sunshine" strikes again!
Go back in your burrow and when its time let us know if we'll have 6 more weeks of winter.

Well they did say they were serious about making Pitt football a priority. This will tell us if they meant it.
We have a fan base that is small, there is a difference. You don't think Alabama, OSU and Penn State have fans who don't contribute?
Get rid of Hill and put the money toward Canada's salary bump. The secondary didn't even exist anyways.

Season Tickets
Tradition Fund TicketsApproximately 45,000 football season tickets require a donation to LSU’s Tradition Fund for the right to purchase those tickets. Invoices for the Tradition Fund Contribution are mailed in January of each year. Tradition Fund Contributions are due by March 31 of each year, prior to the mailing of season ticket renewal forms.
Forty-five thousand of LSU's season tickets require an annual donation. We don't even get 45,000 at most of our games.

We won't know the details of what pitt offered. And Canada may want to move on regardless. it doesn't say dick if he leaves.
No way should Pitt pay Canada $1.3 million.....doesn't make any sense! If LSU is paying Aranda that then I'm sure the offer to Canada will be in the same neighborhood. We are talking about a guy who was let go a year ago. Yes he struck lightning in a bottle this year but by no means is he worth $1 million plus and doesn't really recruit. LSU comes with big time pressure and coaches will coach differently in that environment. Good for Matt for cashing in but in two short years he could be taking a severe pay cut once again.
I stated it before and i will state it again, Pitt's current goals should be to pay in the top 25% of the ACC, those are our peers. I want Canada to stay but at anything more than $850,000 I do not see it as being financially feasible for Pitt. Let's also remember that this is for an OC only, not and OC who is a kick ass recruiter. Pitt is limited here.
remember souf is the one for famously dubbing this the scrap heap hire at the beginning of the season.
