Coach Kennedy new 4 year contract

[ResilientGriz]

Nothing Vigen has done in Bozeman is groundbreaking. They couldn’t beat NDSU, so they hired a guy from the NDSU tree who implements the NDSU playbook, which in addition to game schemes also includes the head coach showing interest in other jobs….AD assembles the booster/admin and voila a new extension comes together. Rinse and repeat.

Still didn't beat NDSU

if Coach BK wasn't happy with the contract, he could've refused to sign it and be held to the 1 year deal. He knows if he does well he can increase the base and total compensation.

Stop trying to be Coach BK's contract lawyer and negotiator. Let him cook.

Agreed. That poster’s posts are embarrassing.

The contract is fine from BK perspective he can make more money than he ever has. From UM’s perspective it looks like they are signaling that their head coach position is worth only half MSU. Most people would say the UM is a stronger program than NAU particularly with NAU’s noted financial challenges/lack of support yet NAU’s coach is making $280,000 base.

He too is also a more accomplished and experienced coach than BK.

Fun fact $175,000 base is what Bob Stitt made at UM in his first season 11 years ago. As we all know inflation has made $175,000 in 2015 worth substantially more than $175,000 in 2026.

Some of these posts should be deleted and sent to the poor-post graveyard. Accounts should be deleted.

1. He has no HC experience.
2. His resume is not the same as the neighbor coach's current pact or even Stitt's at the time of his hire.
3. He will earn big bumps if he wins - commensurate with traditional coaching salaries in the state.
4. He signed the friggin' thing, so he and, yes, his wife are satisfied.

Laymen sports entertainment managers need to leave this stuff to the pros.

When you look at the contract BK is paid 40K extra for playing the beavers. Not sure of future schedules if there are any other FBS teams added but as of now not aware of any. That in itself is an added bonus.
