Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 2501824, member: 1414"] I thought this until I remembered the money. Ollie is the tenth highest page coach in the country at $3.1M. You might be surprised at how many make under $2M. Dan Hurley at URI is under $1M. The guy at Xavier has been to the tournament something like 8 of the last ten years, and makes around $1.5. The reality is that we do still have more cache than most programs out there, and if we can pay over $2M, we will be able to steal somebody. That is why I think avoiding the buyout is critical. If we can get Ollie to leave, then we can pay $2.5M, get a very accomplished coach, and save money. If we have to buy him out, we're looking at paying in the low $1M range I expect. [/QUOTE]
