Steve Campbell for UL OC

[Cajunsmike]

_ sounds like a steal for us if we could get him. But a factor could be money. I don't know if he would make more here or not. my guess would be yes since he is considered a serious candidate for the job _

I have been told Campbell makes a little over 100k as a JC Head Coach. He will make 150 K as offensive coordinator here. If he declines it is because he wants to remain a head coach vs making more money. I predict he will accept the offer here but I am not guaranteeing it. If he does come, we will have an additional person on staff qualified to be a head coach at the college level

I see the two have Delta State ties. Campbell looks like a good hire!

He makes $85K plus incentives, lives in housing on campus.

The on campus housing is a big plus not covered by salary.

Depends on the housing.

The housing is free to him.

I have always wondered about the housing deal--like a developer gets together with a real estate lady and the price comes down as they give up some or all commission-------I am still grateful for the deal JY Foreman helped me with when I was at UL!!!! I guess this is considered an "in kind" deal!!!!

I have always thought we (UL) could create a "coaches corner" neighborhood that is housing for them, being built on existing UL property; down Cajundome boulevard for example, or possibly some of the "horse farm" property (probably too late for that). This would be something that could be built inexpensively and would give us another caveat when pursuing coaches.

Free housing, what's that worth?

I've read that, but Campbell has been offered the OC position. It is his to turn down from what I understand.

I figured. Just putting it out there. Interesting that he is making offers before he has met with the current coaches. I guess this season's results are speaking volumes.

This is one of the advantages of hiring a former head coach with connections.

He knows what he wants.

He knows what it takes.

He can come in and hit the ground running. . . even before he hits the ground.

Maybe he will keep one or two assistants as position coaches but we shouldn't be surprised that neither of the coordinators are being kept on.
