2019 Coaching Carousel

[douggie]

Pretty sure Holtman only makes 3.1mm not 7.1 Still too much, but in order to get a good coach the time of year they hired him, it was probably what they needed to spend.

No, that's what he earns, here's a list before Calipari's raise:

I’m thinking Bruce will get a bump after this year. He earned it!

Is A&M an upgrade over Tech?

Serious question

Slightly, but neither are historically good at basketball.

Well, from this it appears not every coach is just chasing the almight dollar...i.e. Mark Few. I'm sure he's been offered a lot more to leave Gonzaga. But, this may not tell the whole story....i.e. Gary Patterson's "package" with TCU doesn't necessarily show up in salary.

And, some of these guys aren't necessarily paid for their results...as compared to their cohorts.

I agree.

I was ragging one of the local Red Fader faithful that lives here about not being able to keep Chris Beard. He said Beard would earn as much in bonuses this year for making the Sweet Sixteen and Final Four as his salary. Don't know if he knows what he is talking about.

Except for one personal issue that makes Lubbock attractive, I still think they'll need to triple Beard's salary to keep him. jmo

Basketball wise? No. It's basically a lateral move from that standpoint. Neither school is the top of their conference, but there's enough recruiting in both areas to where you can compete to win the conference every now and then. And you'll be able to make some tournament runs. But A&M can pay more money if they want and most importantly for Buzz, he was raised just a couple of hours away. He's got family in Texas, a reasonable drive away from A&M, so it was a big factor in going back "home" to be closer to his family.


EDIT: Add another potential VT candidate to go along with Wojo; Kevin Willard from Seton Hall

Can anyone tell me why there is such a large gap between #2 and #3? From $7 million to $3.7 million seems like a very big chasm. jmo

They're going after Willard, and hard.

Seton Hall has a really good team next year tho. So it will be interesting to see what he does.

The Big East is apparently going to be the springboard for coaches to go to football schools where they can pay 33% more.

UConn fans are not happy with this development.

We’ll see if seton hall wants to pay a big buyout though....

 

[Hitman Hart]

I knew Manning was going to last longer at Wake than Buzz would at VT

Agreed 100%.Yea, that guy can coach'em up..

UCLA in talks with Jamie Dixon.......

Good get if they can get him. Has a huge buyout it seems. Frankly I’m shocked he’d leave his alma mater for UCLA right now. But maybe he is getting tired of FW.

Now sounds like it may have been axed 'cause of the buyout.

 

[ericd7633]

If UCLA wants to be taken seriously they need to pay top dollar.

Would they ever actually go after Pitino?

 

[ericd7633]

They should, but won't. And this is the same school that was coached by Larry Brown and Jim Harrick. The worst thing about that program is they think they are better than everyone else and they aren't. This isn't the 70's anymore.

Yeah I agree. It would be cool to see slick Rick at Pauley Pavilion.

Here's the difference;


School pay includes $300,000 contribution to a split-dollar life insurance arrangement that will be made on July 1, 2019 if Holtmann remains head coach through June 30, 2019. The university is entitled to reimbursement of the contribution, "plus interest at an at-market rate of return" from the arrangement's death benefits.
