San Diego State is giving football coach Brady Hoke a fat contract.
According to Steve Berkowitz, Hoke will make $1 million annually, and then will have increases of $50,000 every year over the five-year deal. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
That’s more money than previous head coach Rocky Long made.
Brady Hoke’s first-year compensation as San Diego State’s head coach will be $1 million, per term sheet from school. He’s getting 5-year deal that includes scheduled increases of $50,000 each year.
The past season, Rocky Long made just under $900,000 as Aztecs’ head coach.

I’m not really sure what Hoke did to earn this kind of money. Rocky Long was very successful as a head coach with the Aztecs.
He was worth every penny of his $900,000 salary. He was probably worth more. The man won games with the Aztecs.

What has Hoke done to justify making a seven-figure salary? He flamed out in spectacular fashion at Michigan, and has done nothing to prove he’s an elite coach.
This is kind of Hoke’s last chance to be a head coach. If it fails with the Aztecs, then it’s over for Hoke.

Yet, he seems to have received a very favorable contract from SDSU. We’ll have to see if he lives up to the price, but it’s a bit mind-boggling to hand him that kind of cash to be the head football coach.
