  So, TT got a 7-8 year contract at Sac State, fully guaranteed. And will also be coaching Utah in the Holiday bowl
  
  Troy Taylor says he got a 7-8 year contract at Sacramento State FULLY GUARANTEED. Basically unheard of. @ESPN700

  Eh. He wants to go home and have stability. Sac St wants a long term coach that won’t leave the first year they have success. It’s a match made in heaven.
  
  Taylor is the guy who quit coaching college football years ago to go home and coach high school football.

      Doubt it. People forget his EWU numbers were a gift. That team put up insane offensive numbers the year before Taylor arrived and has kept it up since. They have a machine running up there.
      
      I didn’t think he was qualified for the Utah job and I don’t think he’s even qualified for the SacState job. He’s never struck me as a leader. I predect a train wreck.

  They gave a completely unproven coach an 8 year contract? Guess the move makes a little more sense now. If he is successful there, he could presumably get a HC job at a decent FBS program.

    I super curious to learn the salary figures – Avg FCS coaches make ~250k and the highest make ~400k total compensation.
    
    The last sac state head coach made ~175k. Interesting he’s leaving money on the table in the short term but has the 8 year contract as a backup if he isn’t successful.
    
    Contrast this to Jay Hill, who is making $275k at Weber (Left Utah making 220k)

      So going by what we assume he’s making if he gets released form his contract the school only pays out maybe $2 million total. Seems TT went with moderate pay and security over his currently salary and uncertainty.

        Yep. He’s basically guaranteed 3.3 years of Utah salary over the next 8 working years regardless of job performance. Pretty safe way to take a first time HC job

        Pretty good deal if you ask me. Either he gets extended and receives a raise, is hired away and receives a raise, or he gets fired and makes his money and then takes another coordinator gig and probably gets a raise.

  What would you pay to listen to live stream of Troy Taylor’s headset in Holiday Bowl?

  Sometimes I think these guys who take the long-term job at a small school are the smart ones. It’s not the pressure cooker that a P5 school is, mild success will keep you employed, and the salary is still way above what the average schmuck is getting paid.

    I don’t even feel like Utah is all that much of a pressure cooker. You have an expansion scheduled to SEZ, an inept local media and a stadium that sells out all of damn time.
    
    Fans are hungry and I could be mistaken but Utah seems easy to me compared to other programs. I could handle a few online know it alls on social media.

      Utah’s got plenty of pressure. Just ask any offensive coordinator or freshman QB who’s getting booed off the field after a 3 and out.

    Shows a real lack of competitive spirit if you ask me. I want a coach that wants to be the best and will take the best opportunity available. That’s the life of a football coach. 8 year deal? I highly question that contract. How stupid would an AD of any school have to be to tie himself to someone for 8yrs.
