Hey Lordy, thanks very much for that feedback. Sounds like I'm right on the money. If you were actually winning games, then you'd probably be earning a bit more on the gate. So if I can win, then a $300k salary is workable, especially with cash in the bank to fall back on.
@Moose - Yes that would be funny but with a 1 in 8 chance, seems highly unlikely. It's also possible that if I did land there, after another season, some of those teams making it so competitive in the Big 8 might decide to tank out and regroup themselves... You've certainly been there a while but you are more loyal than most too. ;-)
