In case you were wondering, matching Al Golden’s salary at Temple shouldn’t be a problem for Vanderbilt… but his buyout might be.

The Owls reportedly pay Golden about $575,000 per year. The Commodores paid Bobby Johnson about $1 million and — reportedly — are willing to double that figure for the right man this time around. As both schools are private, we are not sure of their exact spending. That said, it’s likely that Vandy could double, triple or quadruple Golden’s pay if need be.

Golden’s buyout is another matter. The Temple coach reportedly — there’s that word again — has a $2 million escape clause in his contract.

As we said earlier today, if Vandy lands Golden, it will be clear that VU has decided to open up its coffers and invest a bit more in its football program.
