Marshall turns down $2M offer from Nebraska

[SubGod22]

Even when you have a "major" program like KU, there is always the chance your coach will decide to try his hand in the NBA.

Or North Carolina...

I know it's not my money to be handing out but what about offering Marshall a 1.5 Mil for 20 years contract? I know the 20 years sounds crazy but wouldn't we all be happy if he announced tomorrow he wanted to retire at WSU?

If you are serious about the 20 year thing, I personally don't think any coach in his right mind would commit for that long, nor would any university (unless of course there is some sort of escape clause). Marshall wants stability, not a life sentence. If it winds up being 20 years and both sides are agreeable, then great.

20 years just commits the school to the coach for that long, not vice-versa. Pretty much every coach to move to a new school still has remaining years on their contact with their old school that gets bought out.

Custer takes his men from Council Grove, Kansas to Little Big Horn, Montana and sends out an Indian scout.
Scout returns and says "Me have good news and bad news."
Custer: "What's the bad news?"
Scout: "10,000 them; 1,000 us - We all die."
Custer: "Holy **** - if that's the bad news, what's the good news?"
Scout: "Not have to ride back across Nebraska."

I'm sure Tad Boyle understands this story . . .

LMAO!!

3G's current contract I believe was renewed for 7 or 8 years with an annual automatic 1 year extension so he pretty much is at Wichita State for as long as he wants to already. He can also buy his way out of the contract at any time for relatively piddling $325,000. So he really has the best of both worlds right now.

If it comes down to purely a matter of dollar bills it will be very diffiucult to keep Coach Marshall. In fact, he probably would have left last year. Fortunately, it appears that there are many other factors that influence Coach Marshall other than just the greenbacks.

On thing we need to make sure we do is to keep our facilities and our support programs as up to date and as strong as possible.

So you are saying you think a 1.5M x 20 years = 30 million dollar buy-out when we find out that Marshall was an axe-murder next year is a good idea? You were just scratched off my A.D. search list. Nobody here is a bigger HC3GM fan than I am, but for crying out loud we already have Gene Stephenson with a life-time contract and ... ah you already know how that's turning out.

Actually Kung Wu I'm pretty sure we can get rid of him if we find @WuDrWu: in pieces in 3G's basement freezer due to the standard "for cause" clauses.

I dunno. He'll hire a freaking KU grad lawyer to argue the definition of "for".

News reports here saying CSU coach Tim Miles is taking the Nebraska job for $1.5M a year. If the alsoran Nebraska basketball program is going to pay a coach who had a losing record at his prior program $1.5M a year, I hope ADES is working his big donors to get HCGM a freaking pay raise.

..and the little donors too. Of course, that will mostly like be involuntary in the form of higher ticket prices. Which is OK.
