College Football: Coaching Search Update (Part 12) — Making Sense Of It All

This is what it's going to come down to and it's from a quote I heard from my friend a while ago: "What a piece of bread looks like depends on the man who is describing it."

Those remaining candidates know how much Texas State is offering. It was reported here a while ago that the base salary would be between $300-400K.

Those remaining candidates also know how much Texas State will offer to pay any assistants they want to bring on board. While an official number hasn't been released, it's not a staggering amount. Former head coach Brad Wright fought hard to get the administration to improve his assistants' salaries but it just didn't happen.

Most of the remaining candidates would need to take a pay cut from their previous jobs to assume a job at Texas State with a lot more responsibility, yet they've stayed in because they want to either get their foot in or back in the door at this level of responsibility.

So who wants it more? Who is the hungriest candidate?

We'll find out soon.
