He told you, I bet you're wearing a jim Leavitt sweater vest right now!
Sweater vest? Are we talking about the same Jim?
Mike Leach... another coach who got a sweet little pay raise from the Tennessee dumpster fire.
In a semi-related note... I want to be on Jimmy Sexton’s client roster. omg. What a sweet xmas this dude is already having.
Not sure on coaches, but the general range the interwebs says is 4%-10% of an athlete's contract and 10%-20% of their endorsement deals. The NFL doesn't allow agents to make more than 3% and the NBA doesn't allow more than 4%. As of the end of Q3 2017, Sexton has pulled in ~$26m in commissions YTD. FWIW, that represents #26 on the list of sports agents. #1 is Scott Boras at over $107m.Sexton is killing it, what is the likely percentage he get's on coaching contracts? 3-4% seems likely, but was just wondering, because this dude has got to be rolling in cash. He should wait to collect until after the first of the year to get some tax breaks.

Middle of signing day- an interesting time to announce a new coach-
Remember when Christensen was one of the hottest OCs in college football for what he'd done at Mizzou?
Since Wyoming: Utah for 1 year as OL coach, aTm for 1 year as OL coach, out of football for 1 year, then ASU as a consultant.
Not sure this is a great hire for ASU even though it's a recognizable name.
Of course, this comes out right after Leavit's new contract.Darth Snyder update posted to FooballScoop:
Kansas State: Bill Snyder is “in the process” of making a decision of whether or not to come back, according to a tweet from John Kurtz from KMAN in Manhattan. The Wizard doesn’t expect to make up his mind until after K-State plays in the Cactus Bowl on Dec. 26.
Leavitt still has the clause in his new contract that he can leave for KSU head coaching position.Of course, this comes out right after Leavit's new contract.
True, but now his son has an opportunity to be a far less expensive option.Leavitt still has the clause in his new contract that he can leave for KSU head coaching position.

Gotta think that the strategy for Snyder is to draw this out as long as possible, probably even after spring ball, then hang it up so they're forced to hire his son on an interim basis. Whatever; with how much he's done for that program they should let him pick his successor.Darth Snyder update posted to FooballScoop:

Forced? That move would make me fire his son and promote someone else on staff.lol- it's Mr ****ing Howdy Doody

Christensen is famous for pissing off everyone around him, especially his players. Ought to work out great.
Kind of off topic, but Valor HC Rod Sherman is out. I can’t tell if it was just his decision or not.
Pissed off a lot of the WY fans up in Laramie and Cheyenne

There are only 400k people in that wasteland of a state. How many "a lot" is a lot?
It wasn’t. And it may get ugly....
I was just about to ask if the KjSU $0 buyout was included in the deal.Leavitt still has the clause in his new contract that he can leave for KSU head coaching position.
I am guessing, given his clout and connections, he commands 4-5%. According to Forbes, his overall annual comp is $20-30mm. Plus, working for CAA, I am sure everything else perk-wise is handled: regular use of company private jet, company car for personal use, all meals/lodging expensed, etc.
That Sherman thing is going to be interesting
