If the Cougs make a BCS bowl, the payout is around $17 million. Even split up with the conference that would be approx $1.7 mill to WSU and they give Wulff $75k? Heck of a thank you... :lame:

But he'll get $100,000 if the Cougars win the national title.

If he was not an Alum, they would not have offered that crappy of a contract...and he would not have accepted it.


I guess it was a match made in Heaven.

If he gets to a BCS bowl, his payout won't be from WSU, it'll be from a bigger school giving him twice the salary. With that low of a salary, you know the buyout won't keep other schools from pursuing him... :twocents:

The question however is...

If he dies will he receive total consciousness?

So much for leaving for greener pastures, 600K is a joke.

Relative to his salary at EWU, and considering the locale of Pullman, I have a feeling $600,000/year is nothing to laugh at.

If I remember correctly, there was discussion during the hiring process that the salary wouldn't be great due to a large payout due to previous staff. That said, I'm surprised he signed a deal this small for a five year committment. I was expecting a fairly low salary, but for a one or two year deal so he'd have an opportunity to renegotiate

Boo-hoo, poor Wulff.... :lame:

Since when was $50,000/month a joke? Thats more than most people will ever dream of making.

WSU brought up a coach from a lower division, they shouldn't have to pay top dollar, I imagine Wulff isn't complaining about what he's making, and I know his staff's gotta be making more than they were at EWU... personally, I don't see how they pay for what they have now.

Anyways, good for Wulff, good for WSU, I don't see how anyone can be unhappy with the pay....
