OT: Karl Hobbs offered Howard HC job

[tcf15]

 

[CL82]

If he takes it Howard can brag about how it's coaching staff put so many people in the NBA.

 

[polycom]

Back to dc for coach Hobbs.

 

[RichZ]

Good for Karl. Always nice to see former UConn players and JC's former staff get recognized.

 

[Fishy]

There's zero chance that salary number is correct.

If you want to make $700,000 at a MEAC school, it will take you five or six years to earn it.

I'd guess $175,000-225,000 is more likely, but even that might be high.

Tim Cluess makes $565K plus at Iona. Oops, that's the MAAC. Looks like 289K at NCC is tops in the MEAC.

Report: Howard basketball prepared to pony up for Rutgers assistant - HBCU Gameday

However, a source close to the situation told HBCU Gameday that the figure reported by the Times was “astronomically high” and inaccurate.

I had the biggest question mark over my head. I was about to ask "how is he getting paid that?" Not sure he should take that job. It has been hard job to be successful.

 

[Fishy]

He's not taking that job.

 

[6xChamps]

He's not taking that job.

Was looking forward to the “Howard coached players have earned over $1B in NBA earnings” tweet.

 

[UConnNick]

He's probably making more money as the top assistant at Rutgers than whatever Howard is offering.

 

[HuskylnSC]

Did he interview for the job?

 

[AZHuskiePop]

If he makes $300,000 a year at a Rutgers and seems to have picked up their recruiting, working with for a long time friend. Why would he take the Howard job for more headaches and less money?
I believe Ewing is also trying to get him at Georgetown, which makes a bit more sense
because his family lives in DC and he is familiar with that area.
Unless Howard is planning an upgrade.

Hobbs was also Ewing's point guard at Rindge & Latin.

 

[Mazhude]

Hobbs was also Ewing's point guard at Rindge & Latin.

When Earl Kelley and company beat them!

 

[businesslawyer]

Hobbs was also Ewing's point guard at Rindge & Latin.

With Mike Jarvis as their coach IIRC.

And if I recall, there was some kind of a recruiting scandal about J̶̷̲̅ᴀ̶̷̲̅ʀ̶̷̲̅ᴠ̶̷̲̅ɪ̶̷̲̅s̶̷̲̅ Satan stealing Karl from some other school.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

I wouldn't be shocked if he accepted this job.
