Baseball Coach or Life Coach

[GeauxLouisiana]

Is SHSU paying more than UL for a head baseball coach? If so, that is sad.

It’s not sad. Our current coach has given up his leverage by admitting he doesn’t want to coach anywhere else. Why should we pay more to keep him from leaving for another school when he won’t leave for another school? SHSU is payin Deggs a lot in the hopes he stays when a big job opens up.

I cant find his contract but they publish his annual salary at about $130,000. I’m sure there are things to make up the full salary like we do with the foundation, but don’t know how much more. It’s possible

There was a similar 2018 spreadsheet which shows $300K.

I was involved in a long thread regarding your exact stance several months back...hold on tight...a great debate is coming...

Well, it is obvious that Maggard did not negotiate the latest contract in February based upon the premise that Robe would not leave, has no leverage, so let's continue paying him as little as possible.

What difference does it make if he is seeking other jobs or remaining here. Pay the man what he’s worth. Because he is not a resume sender makes no difference if the employer is worth its salt

The man is worth what he’ll take to continue doing the job. 23 years of success and he hasn’t demanded more. This one is on him.

Did Robe not sign the contract paying him what he thinks he’s worth? If he thinks he’s worth more than what we are paying him, wouldn’t he try to get more? Wouldn’t he try to find another place that would pay him what he’s worth?

It was negotiated because Glasco was making more than Robe. Now Robe makes more than Glasco.

Robe must be good with what he’s getting paid. If he wasn’t good with it, why is he still here? Shouldn’t he try to get more money elsewhere if he thinks he’s worth more?

What responsibilities does Bab have outside of scheduling and travel? Not meaning to be negative or positive. Just curious bc it seems other coaches cover the rest that I’m aware of.

Well this has come full circle. Several days ago on this thread Robe was being paid too much and was looking toward retirement, now he is not being paid enough. Sounds like he is where he needs to be salary wise. Now all we need is a hitting coach and we are set. I like that no rash moves are being made here. In the end our opinions mean very little, it is the coaches and players thoughts that matter. I think the exit interviews are crucial in seeing where the program needs fine tuning. I would expect some changes in the coming weeks.

Re Deggs, I hear he is a candidate for the Rice gig. So is Lance berkman, one of the Cruz kids, and possibly others.
