Robichaux receiving bonuses for UL's big season

[johnnyusa3000]

Lots of market based talk on here lately about Hud needing to be paid a million and now baseball coaches should get more money. So you guys do understand. This is amateur sports, but it is big business. Some people on here just play the purist and amateur card when they want someone to sell them valuable tickets for a lot less than they are worth!

I cannot believe that is all Robe is making. And can't blame Deggs for seeing what deal he can make. SHSU would be a solid HC gig

Time to call Wade Simoneaux. HC experience and used to work at UL win win for both parties.

No doubt Robe needs a significant raise. But, he was the higher paid coach in te league.

Let's make Robe the highest paid coach in the Big 12!

We better take a long look at where we want to head as a program. If the answer is moving up, then we need to do whatever we can to keep deggs. The man has brought our program back to life.

What if the only thing you can do is make him a head coach? If the guy wants to be a head coach then it may well be about more than just $. And SHSU is an attractive Job.

I actually don't think Robe is in the top 3 for salaries in the SBC any longer.

Some baseball coach salary random thoughts: Mark Calvi was reportedly hired by USA at $125,000 in 2010. Bobby Pierce got a new contract last year reportedly making him the highest paid SBC head coach. Don't know how much. Wichita State hired a new coach last year with a $300,000 salary. Mainieri reportedly makes $750,000. the lowest paid SEC coach makes $238,000 plus, plus, plus.

Robe needs a raise. I don't think he would leave us but given our success, I wouldn't be surprised if a bigger school in need of a coach comes calling and says, we'll pay you way more than 120k.

[CajunRebel]

When people got on my case last year for suggesting we shouldn't be spending money on a football stadium expansion we don't really need, this is what I was talking about.

That 6 million dollars could have helped pay Deggs enough to not make him want to go looking elsewhere.

[Dad04]

The new park would pay for itself and Robe's raise.
