Our New Softball Head Coach

[Dad04]

I'm going to catch sh@t for this... but we do NOT need to be proactive with throwing money at Robe...as stated above, he agreed to the contract so obviously he was ok with the money...this is a business, not a charity...I get that he's the best thing for the baseball program and maybe best thing for the athletic department as a whole... but there's no need to volunteer more money to him just because... As stated, he hasn't gone anywhere when he's had the opportunity because we can offer him success and something that you can't put a price tag on: being HOME... it's time we start putting a value on that rather than throwing money away that's unsolicited.

Except, it happens all the time. Univ. of FL Athletic Association gave Urban Meyer a $1,000,000 bonus (he was not owed) AFTER he resigned his position.

If paying a successful coach(ing legend) market value is "throwing money away", then we deserve to be called "cheap" in coaching circles.

Russo park will rake in cash hand over fist with the luxury boxes and stadium club. Nobody believes that place would be there without Robe. I'll be shocked if he is not bumped up nicely within a year.

I am almost positive that Glasco's salary has the blessing of Robe, whose loyalty to the school is well known and documented. And I would hope that the administration would be smart enough to reward that loyalty.

I've met Dr. Maggard. He is not a stupid person. Very sharp, and acutely situationally aware. Hence, Ragin Cajun Head Coach Glasco.

Skip Johnson was elevated from Pitching Coach to Head Coach when Pete Hughes was terminated in June. That is not a good comparison. We all know Tony Robichaux has been a HC for years.

Yes, in life there are exceptions but certainly not the norm.

Entering his 24 year and yet you pay our new softball coach who's been in this town all of 5 minutes and give him a higher salary?

Take some of HUD and Marlin’s salary and give to Tony. Lord knows he’s done way more than those guys put together...with way less money.

Just as you should never give a contract too expensive to buy out, you should never low ball a coach you want. You should pay that coach at least what it’s going to take to replace him/her. I understand that you may not really know what they’re worth until you lose them, Houston Oilers comes to mind, but you should never knowingly low ball them.

Good insight

Yep, same situation as what we used to have. Softball program historically better than baseball.

Perception creates value.

Oklahoma is the State where the Woman's College World Series is held.
