Marshall's initial contract was the exact amount as sturgeon when he left. $800,000. Marshall was getting raises before he was winning big, and was at 1 Mill. within a couple of years although progress was being made much faster than Bradley. More than 500 happened by Year 3 with a CIT. I think the NIT happened Year 5 but I may be wrong. Then Ggg jumped up to 1.5 Mill. with regular raises until the Big one. The investment was made early and he had great support from the fans quickly with a full arena almost from the start.

True. But always different to compare a new coach taking over for a guy who "moved on" after success vs a coach taking over for a guy who got fired for not winning enough.
