Baldwin Contract

[argh!]

Some interesting numbers here. Most notable, he gets a 10k bonus if he wins that national championship. Kind of funny that the Cats pay Choate that same amount for just beatimg the Griz. That's a whole other discussion.

Looks like his base is 240k. I know there was some heated discussion over what Stitt makes on this board at one time. I saw an official BOR document about a week ago that showed Stitt's base at 182k, far short of the 300k some claimed.

Brock Stack at Illinois St is highest paid FCS coach at 300k. Klieman at NDSU made 261k last year and Keeler at SHSU made 250k. The highest paid Big Sky coach is new UC Davis coach Dan Hawkins at 262k

No one claimed Stitt's "base "was $300,000. Go check your facts.

75, just curious: who should be the coach?

I offered my suggestion, which agrees with many others: get a D1 OC. That way, Stitt has time to work on his innovations, genius, enthusiasm, mad science, etc., he can collect his $300,000 salary, wear his Griz slippers and maybe the team will want to come out and play football again.

"Salary" does not equal 'base salary". Salary is bigger and includes some of the other pieces and incentives. For example, some sales people receive a base salary plus a commission percentage or other incentives. Coaches receive all kinds of incentives and additional comp above bases salary. Also, camp and tv/radio show income. Also, car, country club (?), and benefits like insurance and retirement. I think the $300,000 is a pretty good rough estimate of what Stitt would make in a normal year. Much more accurate than base salary.

there are more ways than one to try to define "base salary". after reading greenie's initial denial that "no one claimed stitt's "base "was $300,000.", i spent two minutes doing a search, and found that 75 very clearly claimed that stitt's salary for simply being at um was $300,000 - i.e. his 'base' salary.

hey greenie, do you really think stitt wasn't offered a "package deal" to become the head coach at montana? that the other perks were presented as mere possibilities? just checking.

I have salary + bonus/commission job. My salary IS my base. My bonus/commission is extra $ for reaching certain incentivized benchmarks or goals. They are not one and the same. They are two very different things. Just like Stitt's salary and his added incentives. Those incentives are no guarantee by any stretch and cannot be referred to as salary. As you saw, some people claimed he had a 300k salary. That is incorrect. He has a 182k salary plus incentives. If he hit ALL his incentives, maybe he gets to 300k TOTAL COMPENSATION but I doubt it.

This is a rather juvenile debate stemming for one poster's shooting from the hip with a poor and generalized statement from which he would not retreat when the error of his generalization (resulting in an exaggeration) was pointed out. The amount of time and energy poured into the whole sordid caper was staggeringly unbelievable. But since there is nothing else to do until February, knock yourselves out plowing old, worn out ground.

Let's wrap this one up... looks like Baldwin is going to Cal as the OC
