The other thing for both he and EMU as they are a good fit. Some coaches want to be in a big city, maybe a media capital, P5 conference, the only game in town, Think of Alabama and Clemson. There is no bigger program or sport than their FB program. No NFL. CC has the Lions to the east, UofM to the west and MSU to the north, etc. CC has to share the county with the guys from Ann Arbor.

CC impresses me as the type of coach who neither wants to be top dog at a huge football factory like UofM, OSU, PSU, etc. Not an Urban Meyers.

I doubt he wants a multi-million dollar salary.

He is the antithesis of a P.J., Dino Babers, Ron Cooper (from the 90s), Urban Meyers, etc. All seem very ambitious.

I hope we can give him REAL incentives and that we will stay. I mean REAL. Say $25K for earning a bowl game. 15K for winning it. $25K for winning the MAC West. $25K for a MACC win.

I agree with everything you said, he doesn't want the big contract? Before EMU at Drake with all of his incentives he was making probably 200K a year, so yes being at EMU with all his incentives are triple that(which is a ton of money), but say if USF, or Illinois, or Pittsburgh offers a 5 year deal for 15 million, Creighton would leave, and so would everyone on this board!!!!!! That allows you to leave your children a huge trust!!!!!!!

According to a Detroit News article I just read, CC is making $470K this season and increase $10K annually.
