This is athletics NOT the real world. There is no rhyme or reason for the pay asst coaches &/or head coaches get other than the expectations of greatness. Muschamp's contract as the head coach at Florida will pay him $2.7 million a year for five years,that puts his salary puts in the upper half of SEC head coaches . Unproven. Why? Expectations of greatness. If LSU was/is to hire top notch asst coaches, they have to put up the money. Bargain basement shopping for asst coaches in the SEC will NOT get you much success.

Head coach football univ. of ala. salary should be reduced 66% to be in line with the rest of America's big time head football coaches salaries or approx. $2.1 million but ala. had such a nervous breakdown to get saban that they had to triple the going rate and then put up a statue of him, that is a sick place.

Not surprised at all. What does the economy have to do with paying coaches a competitive salary?

as a WR coach..................so they were going to pay him in the 500k range for that?
Do your homework, who is the OC at A&m, how old is he? Who would have taken his place? Krag would have soon gotten offers to move back into a HC'ing job. In the coaching profession Krags is well respected. Keep you eye on him.

If TAF can pay for it, they can do whatever they want
1)Not all of TAF money is acquired by voluntary donations. Since a lot of these "donations" are required if you want to get tickets , parking or even get on a waiting list, money should be spent prudently , not just thrown away.
2) LSU's # 1 choice for OC was very much in demand as the OC for Boise St. He gets hired by the wealthiest ath. dept , alum assoc , fan base in college football for 650,000 . We get a coach, while formerly a head coach, his most recent job was as a position coach @ TAM.He was not in great demand and not popular with our fan base when hired. But we pay our 2nd choice more than Texas pays
our 1st choice.
I think we could have had this coach for no more than $500,000 which is still $50,000 more than we paid our OC of 4 yrs(whether or not you blamed Crowton or Miles for our off. problems, Crowton was hired by Maryland ,who w/o near the resources that LSU has, for the same we paid him). This is your money & mine . When it's thrown away they just increase what you are already required to pay. This is NOT the cost of competing. It's the cost of WASTE !

I know the money doesn't come from the school....it's just the perception of the public that I was wondering about. If the investment pays off in a good number of football wins it will have been worth it. Look out if the wins don't come though...they might have to go get a teacher's job in Wisconsin if they want a pay raise! Sports has truly taken hold of our nation, not unlike the Roman empire in its last days!

What % goes to coaching salaries and what % goes to such dumb things like paving parking lots, toilet paper in the stadium, clean up after games and support of other programs?

He was not in great demand
Are you his agent? How do you know how many offers he had?

Nobody is popular with the fan base when hired. I don't recall dancing in the streets when Curley, Dinardo, Saban and/or Miles was hired.

How do you know this?
$50,000 represents what percentage of total coaches' salaries.

How much exactly is your contribution to only Kragthorpe's salary? Just his. Nobody else's or nothing for either other TAF or LSU athletic department projects. Tell me precisely what amount of $$ are you bitching about.

So if Kragthorpe comes to LSU for $500,000, how much do ticket prices and TAG " contributions" come down?

i think the $700K is a bit steep myself. it only raises the expectations i will have for the offense. fair or not, when you take the big money, you accept big expectations

Look you angry bastard, you have jumped all over my ideas and beliefs about the OC's $700,000 hire being too much. You jump my arse w/rhetorical questions and wanting me to back up my statements w/facts and info often not pertaining to to the thread.
At the same time you have not held yourself to the standards that you have held me. Questions like are you his agent , what % , how much ,how in demand etc? You go answer them yourself. At the least use some COMMON SENSE and quit being a total jerk.
I do think it's funny that while you attacked my statements line by line , you conveniently left alone my point about Texas hiring our 1st choice
for less than we hired our 2nd choice. Little cherry picker!
Talk to me when YOU do your fact research instead of showering me w/your opinions and wanting me to do frivolous research to refute your opinions.
You sir, are a classic lazy arse obstructionist!

A poor economy has nothing to do with it. Good coaches are in high demand and relatively short supply
Posted on 3/5/11 at 1:40 pm to Tigerfan53
people who help pay for it....it doesn't bother me a bunch, but him being the 2nd highest paid OC just means it raises my expectations from his offense. Like a top 10 or 15 offense.

What in the fu ck does it matter what Texas paid for their OC/ the topic is LSU's OC. Not every one gets their first choice in everything. It's called life. Deal with it.

We can't have that can we? We can't have people making statements and having to back them up with facts and data?

I'm not the one bitching. You made statements that you held as fact. I just asked you to back them up.

When I flat out hold something as true I will.
When I say that someone is overpaid, I'll have data to prove it (although nobody is ever really overpaid.
