Who replaces Fulmer?

That being said, Holmoe has said expressly that while the BYU football coach's salary will continue to rise over the years, BYU will never be paying big time Peter Carroll cash to its coaches....in other words, BYU will never pay top dollar for coaches in any given year.

Depending on how much is thrown at him, he has to consider it. Right now I think he is making about $800K. I would guess that they would re-visit another Coaches Circle raise if Bronco continues to do well...esp if he makes a BCS bowl.....and if he wins a BCS bowl....watch out.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know about the pay raise. It sounds like BYU fans will be in for a few anxious off seasons.

If you're BYU, how do you not lock up Bronco with a big deal? I think it would be a monumental mistake if they let him walk away due to money.

Because some things in life are more important than football. Might be a hard concept for a USC fan to understand.

Where's your sarcasm meter?

He was the hero of the Cotton Bowl.

I never saw him play for y'all because I was gone. I guess I didn't get the sarcasm

I believe Fulmer was given an extension before the start of the year. That said, I believe this year to be a pretty tough one for him and Tennessee.

Since when has giving a coach an extension meant anything?
