HOW MUCH? HOW LONG?

[wusphlash]

In light of the Brad Stevens long term contracting philosophy becoming more and more prevalent, and assuming that we duck the bullets being aimed at Gregg Marshall, do we put some type of package together to sweeten his deal? We have to consider what he's accomplished and what he's not accomplished. Does winning percentage, graduation rates and recruiting perfomance warrant an increase? Can we afford it? Can we afford not to?

I'm thinking $1M+ and at least 5 years.


The question is, how much, how long?

Doesn't he have just about that right now?

I don't know. I believe he started at $750K with a 5 year deal. Has it been improved?

[wu_shizzle]

What a difference a few weeks makes.

Many were wondering if Gregg was ever going to earn that 750k by getting us into the tourney.

I think the real issue does he want to stay at wsu (and in the mvc). If the answer is yes then wsu needs to be proactive. If not it won't really matter what he is offered.

[moshock]

I think he'll get $15m over 10 years. That's about what Zo got at TN. IMO 3G>Zo especially in the recruiting area (although Zo could have been hampered by MSU's budget)

Being in the MVC shouldn't matter. The Horizon is not any better than the MVC.

I would rather pay a known quantity (3G) the national going rate than take a chance on an unknown at the MVC going rate. The drought between G Smithson and MT is proof of that.

WSU should be the most desirable job in the MVC and rate among the top 50 (or better) in the country. How much we pay is a big part of it.

:wsu_posters:

[DwShock]

Do what it takes to get him to stay.

Gregg's current contract runs through 2015.


In 2007, Gregg made this comment:
"That's something that will be decided when and if someone makes an offer that I can't refuse," he says, "or Winthrop tries to do something to make it a situation where I can never leave."

Just do it.

I'd rather see something like 1,250,000.00 for 10 years. 10 years would blow his socks off I believe. That's the same as 2.5 for 5, about as much as he could expect in his wildest dreams.

I know the NCAA is the ultimate goal. But I'll tell you this....Mark Turgeon didn't have a team that could win the NIT. If you haven't checked, the Shocks are favored to win tomorrow.

And I LOVE the way the program represents the school and the university. These kids haven't embarrassed anyone since Gregg arrived and I believe every senior has graduated. That's the kind of man I want running the program, and those are the goals. The winning is icing.

And you can gripe about not winning the conference, I won't argue that. When he's been given a chance (year 1 was no chance) he's finished 5,2,2. And we all know who had the best talent this year. This thing is trending up...the program is finally beginning to learn to win. Now isn't the time to change. Now's the time to put your foot down and say enough is enough.

We want to win, win big and we want Gregg Marshall to take us there. Coach, here is the most golden of parachutes. Don't worry about a thing, just go win.

Doc, I will concede to go to ten years but I'm not backing down on the DOFO ban.

And I'd like one week at the beach house. No parties.

I thought that was just assumed and conceded.
