I was talking about general concepts.
DD is a good current example.
One coach has LSU in the Super six. has 10,000 fans per game in a sport (like baseball in the 80s) that averages, what 1000 or less?
Reward that (she makes 240k a year?)
Second coach has not made one final four in 5 years. In a program not far removed from regular final 4 appearances. Nikki's greatest accomplishment to date has been to keep her job after last year, because now, if we make the top 64 were happy?
One of those 2 coaches, one has a chance to bring home a title or two. One does not.

Why doesn't DD make more than the football coach?

DD has been coaching for 40 years and lacks a SEC title and National Championship. Has done an amazing job with the growth and recent development of the program.
After watching this team night in and night out, I respect the job Fargas has done. She got rid of Ballard, Baker, and Youngblood, who were all top recruits, but just refused to adhere to the expectations. She coached a D1 program with only active 6 players. Had a huge turnaround this season with very winnable games to close out.
Fargas in five previous seasons has 4 tournament appearances and 2 Sweet Sixteens. The current landscape of Women's College Basketball is UCONN, Baylor, Notre Dame, South Carolina, Miss St., Tennessee (when they decide to play), and Florida St, then everybody else. They are not on that top level yet, but the growth from last season is evident.
I just think it is ridiculous when you want to fire a coach in regards to her salary, but pay no attention at all to the current happenings of the team or women's college basketball.
