I'm expecting $3.1 million with $1m in incentives. Greg loves incentive deals. I'm expecting 6 years.

Why / Context:
  • It will be more than $3 and less than $3.749. That's not a lock but I'd put it at 90%.
  • #2 highest paid in the SEC in 2017 makes $2.9m and he will earn more because his resume is better. He made $3.2-3.4m at his old job. Not sure on incentives.
  • Anything over $3.0m is Top 15 money.
  • $3.3m is Top 10 money
  • Kirby's original deal was $3.75m with $1.6m in max incentives (Source: ABH). That speaks to Greg's love of incentive deals. It doesn't speak to his love of paying basketball coaches. ;-)
If he comes in over $3.4m in base, I will be shocked. If he comes in sub-$3.0 I will be surprised but not shocked. I would only be shocked if he's sub $2.75m.
