At the very beginning, this made me smile:
"So if Meyer was able to move on after his success, you might wonder why Brandon is back with the Falcons this season.
"It's because he doesn't want to go anywhere else.
"'People compare me to Urban, but he was on the fast track,' said Brandon, who joined BGSU five years ago with Meyer as the team's offensive coordinator. 'I'm happy to stay at Bowling Green as long as they'll have me.'"

You guys don't actually believe that, do you?
If the right job opened up, I don't we'll have GB for more than another year or 2.

He was on his way out this year but was convinced within to stay.

he was offered a position at unlv for around $600,000/year if i remember correctly, which he turned down. granted, unlv is god awful, but thats what a good coach does, turns a bad team into a good one. im pretty sure thats well over twice what he makes at bg. anyone know the exact number?

I'm sure it's paltry compared to most top 25 programs. It should be a priority to pay our coaches more to keep them as soon as possible. We did it with Ribeau...why not with FB coaches? I know it's apples and oranges but they both do great things for the university (granted Ribeau's job is more important).

It seems to me that Nevada-Las Vegas is an awful big challenge. I suspect that was part of Brandon's thinking. Why not hold out of a job where the chances of success are stronger?
