In what world would insulting Chris Jans with an offer like that be viable?

I called the turn in the Gregg Marshall golden era around 2018. Now we're calling the turn in the post-Turgeon era? How sad.

Fire everybody. Then make the first hire Chris Jans. Let's do it.

People have lost their minds if they believe Turg is coming back.

It's not as far-fetched as you might think. Turg. loved this program and wanted to come back after he left. He loves Kansas. He'd probably coach us for 1.75M'ish. Don't expect amazing results though. There won't be any Play Angry, and there certainly won't be any ChicKUn Hack beatdowns. But there will be Play Competent.

Here is my proposal:

1, Notify ADDB that his contract will not be renewed. Begin the search for his replacement.
2. Approach Chris Jans see if he would be interested in the job. 5 year contract with a base salary of $750k plus a $50k per year bump. Incentives allowing him to earn an additional $1.25 millon the biggest of which would be $500k for a Final Four appearance plus he would agree to retain Isaac Brown on his staff for 4 years. Set the buyout at the lesser of $1,000,000 or the base pay remaining on his contract.
3. Assuming we have a commitment from CJ approach Isaac Brown about stepping down as Head Coach for the benefit of the University (and perhaps his own benefit). Sign him on as an assistant to Coach Jans at $500k per year for 3 years. HCIB can leave anytime without cost to him or WSU.

l know this is total fantasy but that's all I am left with.

I feel that Boatwrong may have set the bar for any new HC. Only other way is to have strong incentives starting at lower points (ie a winning conference record and on up).

Going forward, this is not going to be as easy a conference to recruit a quality coach or players to. The AAC is going to be more of a MWC than the AAC we left for.

In a lot of ways, WSU is damaged goods.

Oh yeah, there would be number of incentives starting at lower levels that would potentially take him to $1.5 million. Get to a final four your will reach $2 million. A 2nd final for would be with $1 million.

There's still a chance to get them back

BeltTight should have been ****-canned the second he gave Todd Butler that final season. I mean... he was flexing his malfeasance right in our faces.

Yeah, I read your post wrong. Nevertheless, if you offered a newbie $1.5 mill with no strings for 3 years to a successful experienced coach you may need to bump down how quickly he reaches that $1.5 and might be closer to $2 mill by winning a first round NCAA game.

How much does Chris Jans make at NMSU. Of course, the way Chris is going he may get be such a hot commodity he will be out of our reach anyway.

Perhaps in this world:

No idea. However, the $1.5 mill (with low incentives) would probably be the bottom as we have set the bar at least that high. Just spitballin', but if he is as high as $750,000 now, the higher he might be from that, the higher the $s it's going to take him (or anyone).

Again, we have set the bar at $1.5 mill (with no incentives to get that) for a 1st year head coach. This is the disaster that Boatwrong has got WSU into.
