Well, we need to at least double the Golf coach's salary. His team just won the C-USA Championship.
We need to at least double the Softball coach's salary (Montgomery). His team is kicking ass and taking names.
Tennis was ranked in the Top 70 for the first time in school history. Double that salary.
...so we don't "look cheap".
Except that our softball coach doesn't win any games that matter (make the news): Humiliated by LSU, beat by Ole Miss, ULL, ULM, and NWST. The softball coach doesn't deserve any raise or extension until he stops losing to the lowly likes ULM and NWST and stops getting embarrassed by LSU by like 30 runs. The average Joe thinks our softball team sucks and can only beat Grambling.

Given how long ago that was, Brooke's comp seems reasonable to me.
While Bicknell's base salary was $150K and total compensation I believe was $200K. It's amazing that some folks still actually believe Kim's embellished story.
You mean like national power FAU who is 44-7 overall (19-2 in CUSA)? I'll be interested to see what LA Tech does next week on basically our own turf in Denton. Newsflash- We aren't in the $EC with their conference paid game officials.
The Lady Techsters did pretty decently in Boca Raton.
04/02/16 at Florida Atlantic * Boca Raton, Fla. L, 6-0 at Florida Atlantic * Boca Raton, Fla. W, 5-2 04/03/16 at Florida Atlantic * Boca Raton, Fla. L, 2-1 (8)
Nobody cares about FAU. Nobody knows FAU is any good. Nobody knows we beat FAU. And we lost that series anyway. Tech softball only makes the local news whenever we play local teams or host SEC teams, and Montgomery gets us embarrassed by all of them except Grambling. LSU, ULM, and NWST get it. We don't.
Yes!
Are you on crack?
What's amazing is that you were stupid enough to believe the crap that The Historian just told you.
When Nick Saban moved to LSU, he signed a 5-year deal for $1.25M (or $1.2M, depending on which story you believe) per year, on December 1, 1999 (see multiple links below). With this in mind, only a fool would try to tell us "4-year deals were the most allowed by law in Louisiana".

This was 4 months before Barmore resigned and Mulkey asked LA Tech for a 5-yr contract.
Oh....and LA Tech did not offer Mulkey 300K per year. That's BS too. LA Tech offered 130K per year. The first contract Mulkey signed with Baylor was for 200K per year for 5 years (see link below), and Mulkely has been quoted as saying she knew LA Tech woud never be able to match the money Baylor was paying. She was only hoping they would match the 5-year term.

On April 4, 2000, she was named head coach of Baylor University in Waco, Texas, with the five-year deal she wanted. The contract allegedly was worth about one million dollars over the life of the contract. Mulkey-Robertson was only the fourth coach in the team's history.
This article says LA Tech offered Mulkey 130K annually vs Baylor's 200K. Also, in this same story, please note that former Tech president FJ Taylor was outraged that Reneau wouldn't give Mulkey a 5th year. So obviously 5-year contacts in the state of Louisiana were just fine.
So, The Historian is trying to re-write history. Maybe we should call him the "Rewrite-Historian".http://articles.courant.com/2001-01-...administration
Tech reportedly offered $130,000 annually, not including camp revenue. Baylor's offer reportedly was $200,000. Mulkey-Robertson, considered one of the top assistant coaches in the country and who had been in Ruston for 19 years, said it was the hardest decision she ever made.
Only a fool would believe LA Tech offered Mulkey 300K per year back in the year 2000, when we were only paying our head football coach half of that. Get a clue people.

RUSTON, La. {AP} Kim Mulkey-Robertson, who has been a Louisiana Tech player and coach for 19 years, has been offered the job of head women's basketball coach, but has not yet agreed to replace the retired Leon Barmore.
"We recommended her for the job and we hope that she takes it," said Dr. James Liberatos, chairman of the Louisiana Tech Athletics Council. "We have faith in her that she can take our program forward and we hope she does."
Tech has offered Mulkey-Robertson, who was unanimously recommended by the athletics council, a deal worth $300,000 annually, with a base salary of $105,000 per year.
HD,
To follow up on my previous post, keep in mind that Coach Barmore was making more than $200,000 per year in the late 80s, including camp and shoe money. That was more than double what Tommy Joe Eagles and Joe Raymond Peace were making at the time. The money pool for assistant coaches for women's basketball was more than for men's basketball.
Absolute BS! Show me a credible media source where this was reported. I showed you a news story that stated the salary offered was $130,000 which was about right for that time. Furthermore, it's aburd for a grown man like yourself to even suggest that LA Tech would have offered ANY COACH a 300K salary back in the year 2000. Get real.
Then most of it was from camps and shoes, because it damn sure wasn't coming from LA Tech.
You've lost your mind. I know Leon. This simply isn't true.
