From what I saw I liked him a lot. I am NOT pleased he left. If it was for better money and that was the only reason so be it. At the level you are talking we could have at least matched it .I just am not buying it that it was about money. No one has said that so far. The other thing is he was removed as a coach from the Griz website and so far there has been no comment from the University. Which as fans I think we deserve at least that much.
your so smart you go figure it out
I’ll call him tonight and let you know.
You’re the one who keeps bringing up these nefarious “other reasons”.
They pay a lot more?
Wut? You said it, dummy. You expect me to figure out what is going through that pea you call a brain?
All could easily find a higher-paying job elsewhere.
Is that really what the OL coach makes here? If so.... sheesh.
Western Michigan puts him in ponds the Griz coaches don't swim (fish) in...moving up and into those ponds is what most young, driven coaches aspire to.
If an O line coach makes under $80k in Missoula, then Hauck better rethink his entire approach to hiring. He has done a good job getting guys who are financially secure due to their age and experience. Now he probably has to go the other route and get the up and coming graduate students who have the experience as a former player. Expect no more than three years and then they are gone. I don’t envy the position he and other coaches are in. Unless you have a program with deep pockets, prepare to ride the roller coaster of coaches and players. Will be interesting to see what happens with fan bases and ticket sales over time as well.
Yep, it's so tough for these position coaches. Some of the escalators in Bobby's contract also apply to the assistants, but in general you position coaches are making 40-60, max. You should see the salaries of the head coaches in the non revenue sports...
One of the stories going around about Hauck's re-negotiation last time, when it seemed like it was being hashed out and taking a little bit of time, was that he was pushing for higher pay for the assistant coaches. I'm sure partly for the competitive reason you state, as well as just knowing how hard it would be to make it work on that kind of money in Missoula.
But you need to PROVE IT! I'm not going to add any proof to my assertion other than, there has to be something else! /sarcasm
NAIA -interesting you would bring that up. I thought they were irrelevant ?
I'm not relitigating this. You said that we should be playing a Montana NAIA team on the schedule every year, and I told you why that was an asinine idea that helps nobody. When a separate conversation comes up about how much coaches are paid, and I say "it is even worse in the NAIA," that really has nothing to do with scheduling them to play us except to show, again, how far below the Griz that the programs in the NAIA are.
You're dealing with a retard, Elrod. I wouldn't waste the energy.
Wrong answer. The correct response would have been “You’re irrelevant”.
