Nobody. We have guys in house to develop.

We still need someone serviceable. No way in hell we can ride with a RS FR and a true FR. We are 1 injury from only having 1 schollly QB. Zero chance they let that happen. Not saying they bring in a high level QB, even if one was available. Bring in a Gaston Moore type for insurance.

Just pay Nico; everyone else is doing the same thing. If he wants more money, so be it—everyone is asking for it. Nico is much better than he gets credit for; it was mostly the wide receivers and offensive line that contributed to the issues. The results from the other QB’s on the roster is a guarantee will not be anywhere near as good. I mean if I could get 4 million instead of 2 I would do the same thing.

On one hand, giving him a “raise” keeps continuity.

On the other hand, there will be ramifications across the sport on this and I would argue that the locker room would be in turmoil as well.

They weren't asking for 4 million. Nico is NOT worth that yet. They also weren't calling numerous HC's fishing for interest.

Nico should be offered this:

$3m, bumping up from $2m

$2m in incentives for going to Atlanta/winning the SEC/Playoff Berth/CFP semi berth/winning natty

At the end of the day, if we were to win a natty, not one person would care how much Nico was paid. However, heavy incentives force him to actually perform. If a school wants to pay more than $3m for his body of work in guarantees, so be it

Wouldn't they have to bump everyone?

Don't pay him another dime! He is overpaid already. Send him back to California

I personally don’t see how other positions can have a legitimate claim to get bumped up for team success outside the quarterback. Especially with an offensive head coach. I personally think some schools will get creative with NIL via incentives as in football, you can’t just buy a starting 22 whereas in basketball Louisville is spending $8-10m to buy a starting 5.

Of course if Huepel had the balls, he’d go to Merk, offer him Nico’s current number for a guaranteed 2 year commitment and roll on
