Our New Softball Head Coach

[barisaxman]

Coach Robe is underpaid compared to the new guy for all the obvious reasons stated. But damn, this just happened. And it happened after a very ugly public roll in the gravel with the old guy.

What we should draw from all of this is that Dr. Maggard is serious about our softball program. If he's serious about our softball program, you can bet he's serious about our baseball program, basketball program and our football program.

I say let the man, Maggard, concentrate on one disaster at a time. I'm betting Robe is pleased with what he sees in this AD and won't be going anywhere, certainly not because he'll feel underpaid when it's all said and done.

Maggard's biggest test comes after the football season is over.

THIS!!
Once again, a thread has morphed into a different subject, cause RP’ers have
gotten into a ____ing match over who knows MORE about something! Guys, can we all just
take a breath and let the dust settle over THIS before worrying about the next disaster??

What indications are you referring to? Do you have some inside knowledge regarding Rob’s salary? Please enlighten me as to how you know Robe is fine with it.

He turned down the Ole Miss job to stay close to his aging parents. That’s why he took the low salary Einstein.

All indications = staying here for 24 years; signing the dotted line on his contract; never complaining in public; praising the university and athletic department in public; being one of the best ambassadors for the program; doing his job and never complaining that he is getting a raw deal.

In fact, the only person that seems to be complaining is you...

Yep. Or separate this into two different threads.

Robe is making what the averge G5 coach makes

Memphis Darren Schoenrock $176,083
UConn Jim Penders $175,000
USF Mark Kingston $140,000
Cincinnati Ty Neal (resigned) $125,000

No one outside of the BIG 12 & SEC is making 300k

No one outside the BIG 12 & SEC is in the top 10 in attendance either. Those teams all play in 1500 seat ballparks and most in the stands are family or girlfriends. But, if Robe is just an average G5 coach, then pay him like them.

Robe will get his, and he will be ablle to thank Gerry for that...just like all the QB’s in the NFL can thank Stafford for their next contract. It’s kind of how the business and market works

We've had this conversation before. The school should pay Robe more based on fan attendance. By the way UL Softball would be in top 25 attendance for baseball so we absolutely did the right thing by them. We need to do right by Robe next.

I felt silly first posting about such an obvious circumstance, but I admit I was trolling a little. Haters still gotta hate.
