DH is making 5.25 M per year though 28-29 , big time value contract hope he gets a raise
SMU moving up to ACC in Football, Basketball and all sports. They saw an opportunity to move up and took it. SMU saw an opportunity to upgrade the Basketball HC position and moved on Lanier firing him. And sure it works both ways. SMU could have not only seen Lanier as not up to ACC standards but also saw him as a guy who would jump ship at the drop of a hat.
On the pace he's at, he's going to make way wayyyyy more than that right now.
And despite that he's still wearing the same blue suit he wore at Rhody, drives a pickup truck and probably has a shit ton of money just sitting in his savings account LOL.Blue Man wrote: ↑1 month agoOn the pace he's at, he's going to make way wayyyyy more than that right now.
"Winning the Big East and the conference tournament are each worth $100,000. An appearance in the first and second rounds are each worth $50,000. The Sweet 16 is worth $100,000, and appearances in the Elite Eight, Final Four and national title game are all worth $200,000. A championship win again would give Hurley a $500,000 payout.
He can also earn $50,000 for being ranked in the top 25 at the end of the regular season, $100,000 for being ranked in the top 10, $50,000 for being named conference coach of the year and $100,000 for national coach of the year."
Sooo...
Already accomplished:
"Academic" incentives. Assuming "check". $200k
Top 25. Check. $50k.
Top 10. Check. $100k.
Big East COY. Check. $50k.
Big East regular season. Check. $100k.
Big East tourney. Check. $100k.
First round. Check. $50k.
Second round. Check. $50k.
Sweet 16. Check. $100k.
That's a cool $800k so far.
Yet to go:
National COY. $100k.
Elite 8. $200k.
Final 4. $200k.
National Title. $200k.
Win it all. $500k.
In the next 2 weeks he could secure another $1.2M on top of that, so he could theoretically earn $7.5M this year.
Good for him. UConn basketball turned over $10.6M last year against a contract that probably paid him half of his current number. That doesn't even count what the state of CT makes off of UConn (UConn also pays $40k per men's game to use the XL center). Nevermind the free advertising and marketing UConn gets for these tourney runs.
Good for Gerry
Dan wants to keep them. He specifically lobbied in that last contract to expand his pool to pay them more.
Maybe it was public schools only because private schools don't have to disclose contracts?
Good points Blue, let’s see if they can keep bothBlue Man wrote: ↑1 month agoDan wants to keep them. He specifically lobbied in that last contract to expand his pool to pay them more.
They’d definitely be worthy of a job - but I think Dan wants to pay them well enough to stay, and wait out a plum P4 spot.
Plus if you’re making low level HC money, why would you leave the well oiled machine in the middle of a serious run.
If Klingan/Karaban/Castle stay another year, they can reload immediately.

Can’t see Karaban going yet. The NIL money is there and he’s been in a funk a majority of this season. He’s not league ready. I’d put him as least likely.

I don't know about that. I could see Castle going. The other two, Blue Man's points I think ring true. We'll see.rambone 78 wrote: ↑1 month ago Newton, Castle, and Clingan will go NBA.
UConn will likely take a step back next season but will still be very good obviously.
Castle can’t really improve his stock, lottery pick. Some have him Top 10. He’s a no brainer gone.Blue Man wrote: ↑1 month agoCan’t see Karaban going yet.

Castle is unique, could probably get an NIL bag next year and improve his draft stock further.
Clingan is an interesting case. Massive and definitely going to the NBA - he cares about college though, it was his dying mom’s wish - I wonder if he does a 3rd year because of that.
1) most likely gone. This is more hopeful that he'd stay, but I don't think Hurley will have a problem recruiting a replacement.Rhody15 wrote: ↑1 month agoCastle can’t really improve his stock, lottery pick.

Clingan is Top 6 in latest ESPN mock.
Don’t really see the correlation between Karaban’s mom being an immigrant and a degree being a “must” for him.
His counting numbers are up across the board, %s around the same.
Don’t see how can you say he’s been in a funk a majority of the season, multiple 20+ point games, only one three game stretch under single digits in a row.
Low first, early second round projection for him.
LMAO. I mean...I don't know anyone...anyone, including every PC fan when PC was good and in love with Cooley, that would say he was a great coach.
It would be a fun day around here, that's for sure!!
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is a bit.
1 of them would almost definitely have been in strong consideration for Fairfield if their interim coach didn't end up having a great season and pulling a Rodney Terry. It seems difficult to jump from assistant to first time HC at a P4 so I still think they need an intermediary stop on the ladder but who knows maybe if UConn keeps dominating in this fashion they can make that leap.Blue Man wrote: ↑1 month agoDan wants to keep them.

I'm sorry, but to me that's worse than almost any player leaving. Or it's the equivalent of a beloved player leaving for a rival.

Hope he fails miserably at Washington.
Even JMU's coach going to Vandy. Stupid f'n move.
Build a mid major into something special guys. Or stay a little while longer, I mean shit, do something special instead of what? Chasing the money at an average power conference team?
He can bring his entire team with him if they are good enough to play in a better conference. It's the new reality of CBB.PeterRamTime wrote: ↑1 month ago Danny Sprinkle leaving Utah State after one season is such horseshit.

Vandy is the only athletic program in the SEC that doesn't give a shit. They don't have NIL worth a damn, they don't invest in anything other than baseball. They are garbage. It's a huge risk and he could get something much better than that down the line. Vandy is a doormat. They also might have less actual fans than we do lol trust me I live here.Rhody15 wrote: ↑1 month agoWashington has a top tier athletic program in a fertile recruiting area.

Absolute no brainer to go there.
Byington stayed 7 years at his first job, Georgia Southern. 4 years, one full recruiting cycle, at JMU.
Natural move up to a P5. He's put in his due for a job like this.
Vandy with success in the past and the most powerful conference in America. Great location, football program sucks so can maybe become a basketball school with some success.
I agree with the one year thing - the only exception was a situation that happened a long time ago. Skip Prosser was a long time assitant at Xavier and left to become HC at Loyola (MD) for the 93/94 season. After that season, Xavier head coach was hired away by Providence, and then Prosser left Loyola (MD) to become Xavier's head coach. In that case, a long time assistant returning to the head coaching job isn't BS. But I do agreat with PTRs point in general.PeterRamTime wrote: ↑1 month ago Danny Sprinkle leaving Utah State after one season is such horseshit.

Yup, a bit just like I thought.
Makes sense for Baby Pitino. Louisville cannot miss on this hire after Chris Mack and then the Kenny Payne disaster - they swung for the fences with Dusty May and he chose UM and now they're doing their best not to panic. You can't take a chance on this guy in his situation if you're Louisville.
