If Paul Rhoads were to leave Iowa State, and Wally Burnham was named interim head coach, would wally get a 100K raise for coaching that game? I doubt it but maybe he would

I see no issue paying him to coach.... with this news... it leaves me leaning on the reason Bret left was the dominating nature of Barry.... and his constant influence about football matters. Even how the game is played... down by down.

It's kinda unseemly. Like finding out the CEO picked up a piece of litter on his way out to his car and deciding he should get an hour's pay at the groundskeeper's scale for doing some extra work.

He will not win this game. Book it.

I don't think you understand how Wisconsin fans view Alvarez. He is a God of some sort. He brought them from complete crap to a decent program with some Rose Bowl wins. They are not going to care that he is getting this money.

As for what he will be doing as far as "coaching"... I see him maybe calling time outs when needed. The rest of the staff will run the game plan.

I don't like it but really, I don't care all that much.
