STRAIGHT CASH HOMIE

Not like he was hurting. Shoot, looking at that list he's already the second highest paid in KS, and two spots behind Syracuse's Jim Boeheim and NC's Roy Williams. But, yeah, that's a pile of greenbacks for sure.

In other news, I logged into my work email like a professional should -- immediate regret...

Edit: I'm not sure how to post the pic in line, and the thumbnail is pretty small. Suffice to say, it merely shows a F-ton of unread emails...

Can we all agree that for 4-5 million a year, we won't be that mad if he leaves? Good grief.

STRAIGHT CASH HOMIE. Now, for the first time, I am willing to admit that's an offer I could not refuse. If that is true, we need to send him flowers and bake him things and dedicate buildings in his name if he stays. Good grief, Bama. Paging Charles Koch.

It would take an extreme love for Wichita and his players to keep him here, but I do believe it's possible.

Is he "Satisfied" here. That's the question.

True, but if those $s are right, and he leaves, it will be "for the money" and not a dream job.

Holy Crap! Coach K!

If true, Alabama is beyond desperate. They know all of the negatives surrounding their basketball program.

That would be a pretty sizable rebuilding job. Word has it Marshall isn't too keen on doing anymore rebuilding. I guess we'll see if $4 mil buys that comment back.

Sexton better not be sleeping at night, pulling some major strings, and earning his keep.

I wouldn't blame him and personally couldn't turn that down. But I never bought into the whole how many burgers can a man eat schtick...because in the end the almighty dollar prevails.

Its amazing how little the name Mark Few comes up anymore. Why?
He makes a little less than Gregg, coaches at a non-P5 school and is as consistently successful as almost any school in the country. "How do you do it Mark?"

Lose to Wichita State...

Fev, I don't think we can compete with the $4-5M range. HEck, I think getting to 3 or low-3's might be a stretch.

Thought you were stepping away? ;)

Actually that list doesn't include all coaches...so those probably aren't actual rankings. I'm pretty sure there are more than 57 schools paying more than Wofford's $171,244.

What it takes to get someone to think about leaving a team that has barely been outside the top 15 for over two years.

Agreed, Alabama is desperate, and I've heard as much from their fanbase.

Not sure that it's really a rebuilding job, though. That's a matter of opinion I guess, I think of rebuilding as exactly what happened to Marshall coming here. Bare of player depth and twice as many losses as wins in year 1 -- I don't think Bama basketball is in quite that rough of shape, is it?

And yeah, someone get Sexton an adderall prescription, time to hit overdrive on getting **** done!

The number I've seen on some other forums is 31.5 for 6 years. Is that what you heard?

If my math is correct that's 5.25 a year? No, that's not the number I was told.
