The Annual HCGM's WSU Future

[_kai_]

Notre Dame is a football school with a good basketball program.

Being a football school and being a good football school with national championships is another thing. Since Holtz left, the Irish have one NC appearance, and are 124-83 overall. I thought we were trying to link success in both programs, not just a good basketball program at a "football" school.

BTW, for the people wondering about Grant's salary at U of A, he was increased to 1.9 million per year, his contract runs through 2019.

Nick Saban is college football's highest paid coach with a salary of $6.9 million per year.

You know that you have more money than sense when you pay $7.5m to make Anthony Grant go away and pay a new coach $1.5m+/yr with no guarantee of greater sucess.

But if you want to take the Saban approach, maybe they think they can get a return on investment by paying $3m/yr for an elite BB coach.

I just don't see the "Physical" support at Alabama to match that kind of "Fiscal" support as HCGM likes to say.

You're giving us too much credit. Arkansas did not win a FB NC in 1977. Our only one is 1964. We won in basketball in 1994.

Good to hear from you, Charlie.

I think we're talking past each other. To me a football school is a school where the fans and admin think football is most important. National Championships is way to narrow a qualifier for me.

I lurk these days.

Ok, I can see that. I still think the number of schools that are football schools with good basketball programs could be counted on one hand.

What about basketball schools with good football teams? ;)

Bummer, Coach Grant was my 2nd favorite active NCAA Coach. I hope he lands somewhere and has success.

You won't AG in the Valley then..

Maybe he will work for free since he's already being paid big bucks.

Alabama, playing without Anthony coaching, up on Illinois 41 to 15 with a couple minutes to go in first half.

Interesting, the color commentator doing the Alabama-Illinois game threw out Greg Lansing's name as a possible replacement.

Wow - that Big 10 plays tough.

Lansing needs to stay put. He can do better, and Bama fans would not appreciate him.

[wufan]

But Lansing makes $200,000. They paid Grant $2,000,000.

5 years at Bama = 50 years at ISU salary. That math isn't difficult:)
