UL Extending Marlin's contract

[Boomer]

I agree with crazycajun. He proved it this year. Granted the end sucked but he should have a 2 to 3 year window with the talent he has and whats coming in.

.....talked to a McN b-ball coach yesterday and they are Transfer U with the new coach.....they might be Very good.... he thinks so!!!

27-7

What quality team did he beat last year? Or any year for that matter. 1-NCAA appearance in 8 years is unacceptable no matter what your record is. The goal each and every year is to make it to the Big Dance which he has failed to do. For 500k a year we should expect and demand better. He has 2 years left on his contract. What if he flops the next 2 years...now we have to find more money to buy out his extension?

The long con...continues.

I think in basketball & football contracts can be important from a recruiting standpoint as well. If there is even a hint that a coach might not be around for the long haul others are going to use it against you. I don't think it is as relevant in other sports.

I can see both sides but an extension at this stage shouldn't be a huge shock to anyone.

27-7 with a SOS of 206 & 0 wins against top 100 teams is nothing to be proud of

Question, what if Dr. Maggard extends his contract for several more years with a slight increase in salary, but gets a lower buyout in return? Would that not be beneficial to the athletic program? I'm willing to wait for the details at this point, I don't see Dr. Maggard not doing something that would benefit both parties.JMO

I'm with you on this one.

I think it all depends on:
A) How many years is this extension?
B) What is the salary and buyout?
C) How are the incentives treated in the contract?

I trust that Maggard will find a way to make a good negotiation.

2 years around 475k I would be ok with ..


He should not be making more than Gap tooth Hunter

Pretty sure he makes more than that now. He signed a new contract in 2015 with a base salary of $180K but compensation of $455K in the first year with an annual raise of $25K for each year of the five year agreement which would run through the 2019-2020 season. If I'm adding correctly, after the third year (last) he would have been making $530K. That would mean next year would be $555K and the final year would be $580K.
