Alabama prepared to make big run at Gregg Marshall

[uniftw]

WSU might still be rising and UNI is a consistent and occasionally great force. Illinois State is poised for a dance invite. Loyola is improving and UE and ISUb provide stability in the middle of the pack. Drake and Bradley have reasons for optimism. Only SIU and MSU appear to be sinking ships.

The conference is going in the right direction.

It's a matter of keeping the foot on the gas of the bus driving it forward, not setting the cruise control and waiting for traffic around us to fly by.

I'm well on record here about 2 months ago not real happy with the loyola add based on the fan support I'm seeing.

That needs to change if I'm going to change my opinion of Loyola

If Marshall were to leave, the legitamate home run hire would be Archie Miller in my mind.

That would be a home run, but Archie wouldn't even pick up the phone.

Making $450k? Yeah, he'd pick up the phone. WSU could realistically quadruple his base salary and still offer good incentives.

On the other hand, as a program, WSU is more or less a lateral move, so I don't think he'd take the job. Dayton has many of the same strengths as WSU, in a better conference. But his salary is ridiculously low for a very good coach at a school averaging 12,300 attendance with TV revenue.

He's making a lot more than that. Limited info out there, but he made $650K in calendar year 2012, his first full year. A couple years plus two raises/extensions later, you can guess at how much he is actually making now.

Do you have a number? I'm curious what it is. He's definitely going to be a hot ticket on the coaching market the next few years.

I could make a guess, but I don't have an actual number.

Miller was given an extension this year with his base increasing from $350,000.

That's not accurate. He made $350k in calendar year 2011, which was only for a partial year. As I previously mentioned, his first full year in 2012 he made $650k.

To guess, his initial contract likely progressed at roughly $650k-$700k-$750k. He then received a raise/extension last year before the Elite 8 run, which I would guess put him in the $900k-$1M range. Gregory was making roughly $1M/yr before he left for comparison. He was given another raise/extension at the end of this season. Factoring in the Elite 8 run and a couple tourney wins this season, I would conservatively guess it to be in the $1.25M-$1.5M range.

You saying it doesn't make it true. How do you what he makes? Post a link.
