Sam Houston's Head Baseball

[CajunRebel]

Still can't get over 110k for Robe.

Baseball coaches don't make tons of money like Football and Basketball coaches do.

And lets be honest, when both you and your boss know you aren't going anywhere you aren't going to make as much money as someone who is willing to look elsewhere.

Surely UL can afford to share MORE than the total gate from 5 home games.

Hud is basically getting half the gate. Deservedly so, I might add.

I hear you. That's always my first question when people say we need a new ______ or we need to spend more on ______. I don't have an answer for you. I don't know where the money will come from.

People get on Scott Farmer's case for all kinds of stupid crap but keeping good coaches is solely his responsibility. This is where he earns his paycheck. He has done it before for Marlin, Lotief, and Hud. It's time to pull another rabbit out of the hat for Deggs too.

Like what Reb? State your case. What "stupid" crap?

If he goes it will be because he wants to be a head coach...AND because he will make substantially more.

Under the new agreement, effective Oct. 1, Robichaux's annual base salary will be bumped to $120,000 - an increase of $16,000 - to keep him as the highest-paid baseball coach in the Sun Belt Conference.

In his new deal, Robichaux will also receive a $10,000 bonus if the Cajuns win the regular season or conference tournament championship or make an NCAA tournament appearance. He would earn additional bonuses for reaching an NCAA Super Regional ($15,000) and the College World Series ($20,000) and by winning the national championship ($25,000). The amount of that compensation would be paid for the highest achievement in any year.

Robichaux will also get a $2,000 bonus if the baseball team compiles a 3.0 grade-point average. The same amount will be paid if the team has a graduation rate of at least 60 percent. The team must also have an average of at least 925 on the NCAA's Academic Performance Rate (APR) for both of those bonuses to be paid.

He will receive bonuses for being the Sun Belt and/or Louisiana Coach of the Year ($3,000), South Regional Coach of the Year ($4,000) and National Coach of the Year ($5,000) and if UL's average paid home attendance is at least 2,500 ($2,500).

I was under the impression that he also gets to keep all of the money he generates from his camps and can utilize that money as he sees fit (sharing with Asst. Coaches, etc.) or keep it for himself. If that is true, he actually makes more than what his salary is. Of course he has to put in the extra work involved with the camps.
