If, If , If Oklahoma offers the Sooners HC job to Heupel, acting to retain Heupel is NOT Danny White's only move.
Heupel is good, but how much is he REALLY worth? That is the question. I think he's proven to be worth at least the $4M we are paying him, but is he worth the $6-$8M it would take to retain him? How much are you willing to pay a guy who hasn't proven that he can recruit with Georgia, Alabama, and Florida? Who else could we bring in for that kind of money? John Harbaugh is making $9M with the Ravens... with a buyout from Heupel could we offer him $10M-$12 to get him here? How long will Meyer last in Jacksonville? Would Matt Campbell or Kliff Kingsbury be interested in doubling his salary? Are we so married to cancel culture that we wouldn't give John Gruden a job? Luke Fickell and Jamey Chadwell have proven to be good head coaches. Mark Stoops has done at Kentucky what many people thought was impossible. Gus Malzahn might be interesting in coming back to the SEC. Chip Kelly still knows a thing or two about football. Dan Mullen is still good, regardless of what many on this board think.
So again, how much is Heupel really worth?
