As I understand it, Kenny Dillingham's contract rolls over an additional year if he gets three wins a season.

This is significant because it gives him job security. Three wins is a low barrier. So a five year contract could easily become a 10 year contract.

Also, his contract buyout is double edged for both him and ASU.

I understand the buyout is doubled if either decide to terminate the contract. And of course, there is more money available for staff compensation.

I suggest watching the YouTube video I posted above.

Sun Devil fans and alumni, we need some rich people to step up to the plate.

Kenny played the system well, and Michigan waited too long to offer the job because it was so focused on DeBoer.
I actually see Kenny never leaving ASU for another college job, regardless of the school. I think he's actually going to get offered an NFL HC gig in the next 3-5 years. He's doing a better job of running ASU like a professional program than the previous HC who was an actual professional HC.

As both a Michigan and ASU fan, this was a no losing proposition for me. I would have been happy with either outcome. Dillingham has his positives and negatives, but I suspect ASU needs him more than Michigan does.

My only worry would be if he got too comfortable at ASU, and correspondingly, too complacent. In this era of college football, you have to continually grind every off season in a way you never did before, because all of the recent changes (and the money involved) have made what was previously an absurdly competitive environment into one that is utterly cutthroat.

CKG wanted a competent staff and be a desirable location for desirable staff. And he wants a GM and with this allotment, he can fulfill this. If he didn't get this, he was gone. Crow made promises and it was time for him to put his money where his mouth was.
It’s good that there was a strong confluence of items that finally forced asu to make decisions to elevate the program.
