Think back a minute to The Decision: Part II — the last time an Ohio man so wrestled with a job opportunity in Miami.
We knew Toledo football coach Jason Candle made a big bet on himself and his program when he stayed in the Glass City.
Until the other day, I just didn’t know how big.
Turns out, did more than turn down a lucrative offer to become the offensive coordinator at Miami.
He also voluntarily slashed his pay at Toledo.
According to Candle’s contract, he gave back $50,000 of his salary this year, with that money being redirected to help retain one of his top — and most in-demand — lieutenants: defensive coordinator Vince Kehres.
