What if the athletic department says the best we can do is $1.5 million and Knowles is offered $2.0 or more at Florida. If you were Gundy, would you make up the difference from your own salary knowing Knowles would probably retire here about the same time you would?
If Gundy retains a great defensive coach at oSu we could finally turn the corner in our program and compete for championships every year. I'm assuming Gundy will eventually get the offense figured out and will need to hire a new offensive coordinator after the season is over.
Gundy must also realize our athletic department budget is nowhere near Alabama, Ohio State, etc and therefore he may have to do some out of the box thinking to retain elite assistant coaches. We just don't have the tradition or the alumni base to compete financially with these universities. However, with his current salary there's a lot of flexibility in what he can do with that money.
