I do.
I think.
Every coach has a budget.
The Giants just busted their budget for their coaches and coaching staff.
They just busted it.
They just gave their head coach $20 million a year for five years.
They're buying his credibility, his personality, his steadiness, his professionalism, his name.
They're spending all that money for those 18 years of success that he had in Baltimore to bring credibility and to bring some professionalism back to the organization so they could sell it to their sponsors, they could sell it to their season ticket holders, and they could sell it to the players that they have on the roster.
and hopefully he will have a huge impact on the draft because one thing the Ravens have done, really, since Ozzie Newsom took over down there and then Eric DaCosta came in after, they've always had really good drafts.
They've always found key players, especially late in rounds, like guys like Bart Scott.
They found guys like that that just turned out to be great pros.
So...
That's why the Giants did what they did.
So that was the budget.
The budget was blown through by the ownership, by Chris Mara, by John Mara, by the Sish family, the Koch family.
They basically said, go get the guy that we need to reestablish who we are as a franchise.
And that's why John Harbaugh was worth that much money.
Now.
Given that they gave Aaron a five-year deal, I think.
I think it was like five years, $60 million or something like that.
