When Dr. Maggard was hired, here is about where we were generally:
Administration: we had an AD, Asst Ad and I believe one secretarial staff person.
Football: HC HUD got to about $1,000,000 and I would venture to guess maybe $500,000 in all other salaries (pretty sure Des was way under $100,000)
Basketball: Marlin and two assistants - Guess total $650,000
Baseball: Robe $120,000 one paid assistant $50,000
Softball: Lotief’s $100,000 and maybe a $30,000 assistant
Increases:
Administration: Maggard, Nico, Lege all at higher salaries together with about another 15 or 20 support staff (who knows how much all those additional bodies cost)
Football: HC $2,000,000 plus another $2,000,000 support staff
Basketball. Coaching salaries up to about $850,000 now
Baseball: Loan on Tigue to pay and Maggard had raised Robe to about $250,00 and Deggs is now making just under $400,000 with two assistants making more now
Softball. Fired Lotief’s and now Glasco and staff about $400,000
SHOW ME THE MONEY to fund all of these increases. It is surely not attendance increase in your two potential money makers - Football and Basketball
I know some of these numbers may be off some but you get the message. Where is the money tree.
The FOUR areas of substantial increase:
Administration Salaries and number of positions. https://ragincajuns.com/staff-directory
Football HC and Support Staff $1,500,000 to $4,000,000
Baseball: $150,000 to $400,000
Softball: $130,000 to $350,000
