At some point, he's going to do the math and see that he can get a big contract at a big school, work for a few years, and then take the money when he gets fired; or he can continue to work at Utah for another 10 years and make the same amount of money. When he realizes he can make the same money for less work before retiring, he'll take that job and it will be his last.

I think you guys overestimate Kyle's worth on the free market. He makes $3.6 million according to Utah's public salary reports. If he is a candidate for a "big school" how much more is he going to make? Chip K just signed a 5-year contract at $4.5 million per year. Three questions: Do you think Kyle was a candidate for the UCLA job (I doubt it); would UCLA have paid as much for Kyle (no); and assuming the answer is yes to the first two questions, is the $1 million a year bump worth the added stress of the UCLA job/the loss in job security he currently enjoys? I think Kyle has done the math.

I agree that Utah is overpaying KWhitt.

Exactly. But it's not my tax dollars, so who cares?

Those public reports often include total comp, including benefits, bonuses, etc. I doubt We are comparing apples to apples here.

Yes, but your tax dollars are paying Kevin Sumlin $10 million dollars to not coach at aTm.

Not really. Maybe, possibly semi-indirectly.

Good point. Plus I wonder if the endorsement contract potential is similar between Utah and UCLA?

You are probably right. But the larger point remains that Kyle is not going to make a TON more money at another job. I think he's weighed the pros and cons of the Utah job and has generally liked what he sees. The part of me that I don't like wants Kyle to take another job somewhere and kill it, just so those loudmouths calling for him to be fired after losing to #13 UW on the road by 3 points can really have something painful to tweet about.

Pros: snowmobiling!
Cons: Lack of world class athletes on which to form a recruiting base.

Pretty easy call, imo.

Aren't you an accountant? Didn't the BYU ACCOUNTING SCHOOL teach you that money = fungible?

How much are those "Kidney Kar" people paying Kyle now days? Haven't seen him on any other advertising.

He has less visible income streams.

For example, he wrote the forward to this best-seller, the royalties from which he probably clears 10g a month:

It’s been awhile since the college football world has tracked flights. Glad to see it back, even if just for a short while.
