Coaches salary

[Cajunjeb]

If one could measure the financial impact of the success of the UL football program (athletics, sales, business, Master Plan, etc.) since Hud's arrival and turned that into a dollar figure, how much of an influence, if any, would that bring to discussions about new contract and a raise for Hud? My concern is MSU may come calling. Mullens makes over $2M a year.

We need to get Huds salary up to 1M. If he's making that with good job security here I like our chances at keeping him.

So, if Cajuns finish 10-2 I think the man needs another raise.

Not sure if UL can afford it but they sure need to try!

If we make Any bowl money, just let em cut the check straight to Hud

If it was only that easy!

First we have to pay the travel expenses of all of the other Suckbelt teams that don't sale any tickets to their bowl game.

Quote from the article:

"Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, a Republican, has created a task force to move the idea forward. Lawmakers there also held a hearing on the proposal last month and were told by three university economists that repealing or altering the personal income tax, which bankrolls one-third of Oklahoma’s public services, would have to be accompanied by a plan to replace the lost revenues."

The economists are wrong, just ask Jindal.

You don't have to replace the lost revenues, just shut down higher ed...

I don't think it'll matter if we gave Hud a blank check to stay. If he's gonna leave then he's gonna leave, and if he does we should begrudgingly be happy for him and thankful for what he's done to improve the program. Higher profile schools offer more than $$.

Don't be surprised if he gets a new $1.5MM contract for winning SBC and bowl game

I would love to see it, but i doubt the university can afford it.

Well now you are just being ignorant. I bet you are a destiny guy, what will be will be. Of course I believe you make most of your destiny and the same for coaches. If you act like you do not appreciate a great effort they will SURELY leave.

We surely will offer to up Hud's income, on that you can bet your life if he equals last year. To do less would be an insult to any coach.
