Re: Mel Pearson-Michigan Tech's new Coach
My guess:
Mel's offered the Tech job. Armed with leverage Mel runs back to Ann Arbor. Red lays down his retirement blueprint and Michigan's AD promises Mel the gig.

Somebody leaked that Blais was offered $300K. True or not, how did that make Mel feel when he was asked to sign his name to $150K?
Total made up example - Let's say MTU has $200k to spend on a coach but wants to pay $150k. Let's say Mel is fed up with Michigan. Scenario #1 MTU offers Mel $150k, Mel thinks "Wow, I would have signed for $125k just to get out of this hole..." Scenario #2 MTU asks Mel "What will it take to get you?" Mel replies with a pie in the sky number of $175k. MTU pockets $25k and MTU hockey lives happily ever after.
For those of you that have ever bought a big ticket item, what's the best negotiation plan of all for the party with nothing to lose? Start to walk away. That's when the real offers start to show up. If you have someone that really wants to sell something, and they think you were interested but are now leaving, you'll be suprised how quick the negotiation starts moving towards a solution.
Here endeth the coach signing lesson for the day,

For Eades to consider the move it would have to be 4+ years, north of $200,000, plus perks and an annuity should the turnaround be successful. Eades' published salary doesn't accurately reflect the total of his current salary. With teenage kids, the move is going to have to be made attractive.
