Message: [QUOTE="southie, post: 4262839, member: 2527"] Depends on if you are committed to trying to have a winning program, and how attractive (reasons) you are to prospective coaching candidates. Texas hired Vic Schaefer from Miss. State who was willing to match Texas' offer; so, there kind of was a bidding war. Look what LSU had to pay to get Mulkey from Baylor. Baylor tried hiring a big name, but it didn't happen. Consequently, they are saving more than a $1 million a year in what they're probably paying Collen. A&M reached out to Jeff Waltz, and then Louisville had to pay him more and announced a pay raise and contract extension. So, A&M wasn't going cheap. Blair was being severely underpaid; but, A&M still had to pay substantially more than what he was making, and probably a couple hundred thousand more than what Taylor was earning at Georgia. Someone posted the other day that ASU was cheap in paying its women's head coaches. So, I took their word for it. [/QUOTE]
