Details are out regarding Shula's new contract

[Jordan]

It's been known for awhile that Shula was getting a new contract this year, but there has been no word on the specifics of the contract. Today ESPN.com posted an article (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2343183) stating that the contract has now been awarded to Shula, though the University has not officially announced it yet.

According to the article, it is a 6-year contract valued at $1.8 million per year. This would put him at the same salary as the 4th-highest-paid coach in the SEC, Mark Richt of Georgia.

If these numbers are true, I'm sure Mike Shula is a very satisfied man as he steps out onto the practice field for the first day of spring practice today.

Like I said before... I hope we sign him long term.

Yep. I agree. I feel the same for Shula as I do for Mark Gottfried. You do not have to be the "best" coach as long as you have a great staff and are one of the best recruiters around. I think Mark is probaly one of the Top 5 in the country, if he could only get them to stay more than 2 years!

Let's talk Mike into hiring old Don as a recruiting aid. LOL
