Any idea what a job like this pays?

 

A chance to work with Jerry Wainwright is one you can't possibly pass up.

Am I right?

 

I think Jerry will have to show tremendous progress this season if he hopes to be around for another. The fans and alumni, though they respect him as a person, hate him as a coach. And rightfully so. he's been a disaster.

Still, a great guy.
