Ollie's Next Contract

[PcketknfNiels]

Incentive-laden contract with 2.5 base for at least 5-6 years (with a provision to kick up to 3+ if we get into the ACC or B1G in this timeframe)

5 years, 14MM = 2.8MM per year. That would put him in the top 10 in the nation for college coaches. It would give him very, very nice security for life. Nothing wrong with redoing his contract in another year or two if he continues to prove himself.

Hoiberg just got a raise to $2.6MM. With the new round of TV contracts kicking in for the P5, I think basketball coach salaries will reset around $3MM/year for the top 30 coaches. That is where UConn needs to get Ollie. Not sure where it is going to come from.

Following that logic wouldn't hoiberg had just gotten more?

Serious question: why is anyone concerned about Ollie leaving? This isn't something to worry about right now.

I don't think anyone is concerned about right now. Manuel said he's going to offer him a new deal and wants him to be our coach for a long time. The question is where that contract will land him, in terms of years and dollars. It's a legitimate question, and an interesting one imo, especially in light of other recent contracts.

I still say Geno's deal has zero relevance to the discussion. Different sport, different market. And I still think close to $3M/year for 5 to 10 years is where it will end up.

There will not be 30 coaches making $3MM or more next year. There won't even be 20. Right now I believe it is 8.
