Gregg Marshall will make $1,400,000.00 next year!!

HCGM has turned down numerous BCS offers and interviews over the years. It all started when he was at Winthrop. HCGM is very careful when it comes to job selection. He has turned down offers from the SEC, ACC, Big 10, Big 12, and the Big East.

Coach is a hot commodity for sure. Hell, he was a hot commodity when we hired him 4 years ago. We just need to tweak his compensation a wee bit more so we can get into the top 20-25 highest paying jobs in the NCAA. Only then while we be able to create some lasting stability and propel WSU back to where it belongs.

Then we start conference shopping...

Is this the same coldblooded?

Naw, not the same. I can't post with the kind of flavor I did on the old forum. I only stick to C0|d hard facts in here and save all the embellishments for posterity.

What...you mean a conference you can win!

[C0|db|00ded]

No, I mean a conference that is respected and garners multiple NCAA bids as well as the better players in the nation. The MVC is known as a midmajor conference filled mostly with midmajor (or lower) teams. It's hard to be the "bright shining star" in the MVC because of the defensive nature of this league. There are many teams in this league that can be effective against a BCS-style team but their methodology encourages boring basketball. This boring basketball stifles the effectiveness of great players by dragging the athleticism down to the lowest common denominator.

To garner national respect you must have size and athleticism; you must pass the eye test if you will. Valley play mitigates much of the benefits of an athletic team by choking things up. There are a lot of coaches that only see their program as a stepping stone. They aren't worried about nationally competitive teams or putting on a good show. They are merely trying to rack up wins, get an invite to the NCAAs so they can get to the next level. Wichita State, being the next level, wants to do this all now.

HCGM has the difficult job of recruiting BCS-type players to a league where they will get treated differently than if they were playing in a BCS conference. All one has to do is look at Garrett Stutz and how the refs treat him in here compared to the NIT tournament. It's enough to make one believe in conspiracy theories against Wichita State. I noticed the same thing with Paul Miller years ago. It's almost as if the MVC doesn't want big players coming here so they stifle their play in the league... *places tinfoil hat on head*

Cold ... As long as you are putting numbers out there, it was $1,213,000 that he made this year, not
$1,150,000 like you said.

My apologies! The thread title has been corrected. I wanted to error on the low side considering how temperamental our ValleyTalk friends can be.

So did I miss some extra bonus somewhere?

And how much did the WSU president make?

$800,000 base salary + $400,000 retention bonus (4 years) + $13,000 in 2 NIT bonuses

Has any coach in the Valley been paid as much to do so little? Unfortunate - this seems more like an uninformed debtor paying 35% interest to a credit card company without fully understanding his rights and financial obligations, then bragging to his friends about how much he pays each month to Citibank. Maybe Wichita would be better off letting Marshall go, pay market rate to a basketball coach, and use the rest of the money to update its dark Soviet-era arena and attract more than 13% of its students from out of state. Just a suggestion.
