it is not enough. i would gladly send $100 annually to keep him around. i believe he is on record as stating his pay is fine, his concern is for his assistant coaches. i would like to see a larger incentive for academics for our athletes. saw an article today forecasting us in the fiesta bowl against usc. that would be a nice match. first things first however, let's pummel the trolls this weekend.

hook up. poor ned. could ned be cotvandal?

are equally hilarious. charlie weiss's bra smells like corn nuts.

bronco81, it is illegal to "pummel" your wife. Let's keep this civil huh?

whatever that may be. when i ask she replies "hoosier mama, hoosier daddy?" nice try though jfs. now get back to your homework, please.

Pat Forde carries a bigger torch for the broncos than the the local media.

like they said about ned "that thing is spot on."

patmac for governor.

and my internet connection is paid through the end of the year. get yourself on to you tube and get a laugh with the rest of us.

it is hilarious. you may need to put www. in the front.

Using the USA Today Football Bowl Subdivision coaches pay chart (referenced in the above main article), I have performed some basic analysis.

Coach Akey, Idaho head coach, plays 12 games during the 2009 regular season and makes $258,187 a year for that season. This equals $21,515.58 per game.

Coach Peterson, BSU head coach, plays 13 games during the 2009 regular season and makes $1,123,150 for that season. This equals $86,396.15 per game.

Coach Akey is almost the lowest paid coach in the FBS (only 2-3 are lower than him). He is also, becoming a nationally known commodity with a track record of turning around a weak fotball program and making it competetive (yes, albeit a mid-major one) and successful after only a 3 year stint. He is basically 'highly desirable' and marketable at this point in time. To capitalize on his new found status he can't stay too long in Moscow - his success might be fleeting and possibly not be matched again. Basically, it might be time for him to 'take the cookies and run' to a higher paying head coaching opportunity.

It readily appears to me that the Idaho athletic administrator(s) are going to have to 'pony up some more bucks' after this season, to keep Akey around (ammendments to his contract and such additional assorted 'perks'). I don't really know where these 'bucks' will readily come from, as Idaho does not have the 'deep pockets' that the large BSU fan/advertising base provides.

I know, I know, contracts are supposedly in place and all that stuff. But - there are always provisions for 'buy outs' and 'early exit' from contractual clauses (a Business 301 thingy), especially for a high turnover prone profession such as football coaching.

What does this all mean? Basically, the sh#^ is going to hit the fan in Moscow after all the commotion of Coach Akey and the Vandals having such a great season subsides and dies down after our upcoming Humanitarian Bowl appearance (which will only add to the 'desirability' factor).

During Jan-Feb 2010 time frame, Akey, is going to want more bucks to stay in Moscow. Any rational thinking businessman would, too. I can't blame him for that. Or some other FBS school is going to want to buy out Akey's contract and move him there (maybe even possibly Colorado for one) at a greatly increased salary.

The Idaho Regents, athletic administrator(s), and the entire Vandal Nation are going to crap our pants/panties, because of the new found success of our beloved and cherished Vandal football program.

I can see it coming. We will be victims of our own success. The price of progress, I guess.

but if you get your tail handed to you in your remaining games and in the human bowl, there may not be any interest. i fear you may be putting the horse before the cart. i seem to recall that your ad specifically structured the contract to hedge against all this and of course all that can be circumvented by the deep pockets of another school. also akey claims to love the home town feel of the moscow pullman area for his family and of course that could all go by the wayside for warmer climes of san jose & el paso, or the charm of lincoln neb & iowa city etc. hopefully your off or def coordinator could step in. that is how we got petersen. everybody thought hawkins was the man and he was but nobody would take him back now.

do you suppose petersen would let me take over for one of the automatic wins (like this weekend) and i could get the $86K?

and that is why Rob Akey will find a new home next year. My guess is it will be at Washington State. Where ever it is, he will be paid about five times the $155K plus incentives Idaho pays him. This has just GOT to irritate the heck out of the perennially loosing Vandals. For those who think the $750K buy is a hindrance, may I remind them that $750K is pocket change for most programs if their supporters really want a coach. And this will definitely stop some of Akey's new recruits from going to Moscow.

NOTE TO IDAHO: You really ought to consider going back to 1AA where you won't have these problems.

particularly since that is where he came from. Paul Wulff certainly has not performed. sort of hate to see it but you can't blame a guy for wanting to move onward & upward.

annually not monthly. always twisting the words vndl. too much manly beer i presume?

i did go bowling two weeks ago & got a 154 & 151. looks as though the trolls will need every dime you can spare. i can assist you with setting up a direct contribution to the vsf every month for $150.

You trash man. You know the spanking that is comming. You would prefer to take it on your knees or elbows and knees? I don't know the Vandal's preference. Either way, here it comes. Babe.

Your'e probably from Garden City. Not that it is a bad thing. I just get that feeling.
I think this one time? We went to U of I and after a period of profound boredom, we went to WAZU.

Don't think he'll be going anywhere.
One year with a winning record doesn't spell a big pay off
I want him to stay because the stronger the WAC the better we look when we kick everyones behinds. I had some Manly Vandal brew last night. Keystone light I think it called. Or was that MGD? I blacked out and woke up this morning with a troll doll in both hands and my mouth tasted like bbq sause and noodles. Very odd. Don't despair UofI, you one winning season coach is safe.

To keep Chris Peterson, lets do it. When I look at all the "Mickey Mouse nonsense" that we could have, I am more and more thankful for the thoughtful, calculated and savvy approach of our coach. I would put this guy up against anyone in the country. He is two or three steps ahead of the game. Hawkins was just lucky to have him and he knows that.

UI Akey going nowhere-hasn't proved anything cept he can win against easy competition. He would do no better at WAZU or Colorado then the guys presently there. Have an undefeated regular season then I would saw be scared of bigger schools stealing your coach. That will never happen until BSU moves on though so no worries there.
