400,000 more isn't anything to sneeze. I am a teacher I would take that in a heart beat, but going to Tenn and struggling, would slow his rise up the ladder a bit. Another good year here and there may be more than 1.6 on the table when the schools come calling next year.
Plus if any of the recent NBA openings take a coach from a good college program that means reshuffling now that could lead to some big openings next year as well.
Just a heads up, the T-Wolves could very well take a college coach for their next hire. Names mentioned so far are Donovan, Izzo, and Hoiberg (Iowa State). The GM for the Wolves is good friends with Izzo and Hoiberg. While Izzo seems content to stay at the college level, Hoiberg is believed to have pro ambitions. He could easily be selected as their next coach. Plus he spent some time in the Minnesota organization, so he is a known commodity there.
Just saying if Minnesota does drop down into the college ranks for their next coach, the whole trickle down/domino effect begins again. :angry:
Very nice! :laugh:Quote:

Offer was $1.3 million per year and they wanted to not give him the extra year to compensate for the $600k buy-out they would owe TECH...Quote:

If they would of come out with that to Mike White, he would be the new coach at Tenn
I hope this is the way we play it, but this is not totally accurate. While he did "turn down millions" there was not much difference in what Tennessee was willing to guarantee and what he just received in his new Tech contract. Also, he KNOWS that the odds are that a better gig than Tenn will be there next year.Quote:
