Brad Underwood to Illinois

[Mean Green 93-98]

You'll remember him as the SFA coach that Okie State hired away.  Well, Okie State only got to keep him one year.

I wonder how Wren feels about this.

No, 6 years, $3 million per. Guaranteed $18 million.

He tweets a lot of stuff about Okie State.  He spent some time there.

Gotcha.  True enough.  Although, based on the comments from Arkansas State's A.D., we may be guilty of driving up the cost of living in C-USA and the Belt.

Sounds like the relationship between Underwood and the OSU AD was strained.

It looks like Mike Holder was complacent and severely underestimated the coaching market compensation values; which likely led to Underwood getting out of Stillwater in a flash.
