Guest abovetherim Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 A $6 million dollar signing bonus and $3.5 million annually to coach the Cowboys. Information per ESPN.
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 He wont take it. He's getting a raise anyway from KU even if he loses this game
Guest abovetherim Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 I bet he does. He is a OSU alumnus and Mr. Boone will write the check for the amount to make it happen.

jdgriffin Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 I hope he takes the job and brings Win Case on as an assistant.
Guest DickVitale Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Win Case was the head coach at Oklahoma City a few years back....Where is he now?
jdgriffin Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 I believe Win is at Eastern State College in Wilburton. I cannot remember if he is a coach or AD. Wins son Jeremy is on the KU team. I thought when he signed at KU and Win resigned form OKCU, he may have become an assistant at KU. He and Bill played together @ OSU.
OldTimer Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 If he takes the job – and I do not think he will even being an alumnus at OSU – he will have the problem of long term recruiting. Kansas is a talent magnet and top-level talent will go to Kansas regardless who is the coach. There are only a few programs that can be said for and the others are Kentucky, UCONN, North Carolina, Duke and Indiana (I might have missed 1 or 2) but these are the top BB schools in the country. Texas comes close locally. OSU - if he does not bring immediate serious wins will again become a recruiting problem. Then he will have a hard time winning and therefore take a chance of losing his status as one of the best coaches in college BB. I think he would definitely help OSU but sorry don’t see it happening – why take a step back.
Guest DickVitale Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 There is NO WAY he would leave Lawrence, KS for any job other than Duke, UNC, Kentucky (maybe), or UCLA....He is at a storied, tradition rich program, and that does not come around on a yearly basis...AND he just won a national championship...NO way..For ANY amount of money, because if OSU can do it, so can Kansas..
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 I see good ol' Billy Gillespie's name being thrown around alot this morning
jdgriffin Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 I keep hearing that T. Boone Pickens is talking SERIOUS $$$$ for Self to take the job. Everything I have heard from Self since last night, he is playing both ends against the middle. One thing to consider, besides money, Bills wife is an OSU alum also. The next few days should prove to be worth paying attention too!!!
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 KU will come up with the funds to keep him there.
OldTimer Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 If OSU does pay this and then need to raise their tuition in the next several years - there may be a revolt on the OSU campus. ;D Self is a great coach - but those dollars are just ludicrous for any coach. And if Self does not win immediately there may be a revolt anyway. I still do not think that he will leave KU - but no college coach is worth that kind of money
