Article on Oregon opening: Intrigue builds in coach search



Seems that this article's source on the Tubby to Oregon possibility is Myron's blog post yesterday.

Once again, Izzo's name pops up. Seems incredibly speculative and the reasoning behind Izzo's potential move from East Lansing seems comical (the dispute about Nike's new design on uniforms).
 

From the article:

"Smith earns a base salary of $2 million at Minnesota and with incentive bonuses can go up to $3.3 million."

Is this correct?

I've seen 1.75 million and 2. Not sure which is right, but he's #9 on the list of highest-paid coaches. He does have incentives to over $3 million, but a huge chunk of that is for winning the National Championship. It's $100K for making the tournament, so much for the Sweet 16, Elite 8 and Final 4 as well.
