$3.0 mm/year with proven head coaching experience. They'd learned from the BO experiment that a first-time head coach wasn't going to cut it.
Sterk went to Boise's Bryan Harsin first. Harsin said he wasn't moving for under $5mm and wanted to be able to leave after one year without a buyout if certain schools were to come calling.
That resulted in the Anderson/Monken list going to the BOC - if you want an experienced head coach at $3mm/year this is what you get. BOC had a decision to make, OK more money or widen the candidate pool.
Then the leak happened and they had to do both.
And I'll save you the need to respond - "THAT'S REVISIONIST HISTORY"
