No matter which way you look a it, FAU got a bargain. Howard, if he had stayed at UM or Louisville, could be pulling down something between $1Mil - $2Mil. We were at the right time and the right place. We got a national championship D1A coach for a little more than the price of a Sunbelt coach. He is the highest paid coach in the conference.
What confuses me is, FIU is talking about brining in as big of a name as they can get. Strock was the 2nd highest paid in the conference and $71K less than Howard. Where is this money going to come from every year? I'm sure luring Garcia took a few bucks and their previous AD is still on staff.
According to the contract, Strock still had 2 years left. I read most of his contract. If he is terminated, he is intitled to $250K. If he resigns during any time other than 12/1 to 1/31 of any year, he has to pay liquidating damages of $250K. I have a feeling Stock was asked to resign.

Garcia is committed to making FIU a contender, so I'm sure he'll open the pocketbook.
How can you open a pocketbook that is empty…or at best filled with chump-change?

Look at UCF in their conference. Kinda sticks out doesn't it? WOW! I guess that the benefit of a huge enrollment.
Yeah, sticks out that they havent won many games given the amount of money they spend on O'Leary…

Good point. But I'm sure he knows a thing or two about capital campaigns and fund raising.
Just like a company, sometimes you have to operate in the red before you turn a profit.
I wouldn't discount Garcia.

IMO, FIU needs to find a young Coach with energy and South Florida connection, an OC or DC from a top program that is willing to build something - not many coaches can come into a sitaution like FIU and make it work.
