ScottyIce Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I've started to take some emotion out of this decision, I'm starting to lean towards keeping MR for 1 more season. Quote Link to comment

Frustrated Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I just found Chryst's contract on the internet. He makes less than $3MM/year. They have had a TON of turnover since Bielema left for Arkansas. Point being they have maintained a high level of success through all the turnover and without breaking the bank. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 This is the biggest question right now for the administration. How much are we willing to spend on a staff. If they believe $7,000,000 is what is needed to get the type of coach to win here, AND, they want Frost, then they should offer Frost that amount. I fear two things: 1) They think they can go get Frost on the cheap so they go offer significantly less and it insults him. 2) The administration thinks that if we are going to pay that much for a head coach, then we can’t pay the assistants as much.

Atbone95 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I forgot that the head football coach's salary was the only expense in the athletic department. Silly me. Quote Link to comment

4skers89 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Am I correct in remembering that Bo's annual payout is reduced by the amount of any salary he is currently earning? If that is the case wouldn't Riley's buyout also be that way? Quote Link to comment
Judoka Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 This is also if they stay unemployed or have a lower tier coaching job, correct? Quote Link to comment

You also have to assume that some hires Riley or if he even wants to work again. I don't think the cost of living is High in Corvalis. Quote Link to comment

FADSE kind of screwed us doubly with Riley. Had he just hired a young bad coach at least they might get another job. Quote Link to comment
RedSavage Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I have a friend that was working for the university that recently quit bc her department was being severely underfunded and it was making it too difficult for her to do her job. According to her, outside of the athletics department, the university is struggling. Now idk if the money from the athletics dept stays in athletics or how it is distributed but I found it interesting that the university is somewhat struggling. I never would have thought that to be the case and may have something to do with why we aren't ponying up. Quote Link to comment

These two things are unrelated. Quote Link to comment

It’s because of our wonderful state legislature and governor cutting their funding. Quote Link to comment

I was trying to say it more as athletics is the only thing doing well for the university so that money may not be going to funding only athletics but if all the money stays in the athletic dept it's a moot point. But you are right about the the governer and legislature. I kind of forgot about that. Quote Link to comment
