Skip has all kind of money. I bet his interest would be more in location. A place with lots of great golf courses.
Money sometimes is an ego thing. I don't think Skip is on an ego trip.
Skip Loves Ruston
Y'all must not have heard. Isabella and our AD announced back in Feburary that HCSH new contract would be finalized by the end of February.
Can't make this crap up. Isabella regurgitates exactly what our AD tells him to spew.
Just looking at that list, I can't stop thinking about how far higher education has gone off track.
I did a quick search on "highest paid professors" and got that tenured law professors (the highest paid professors) median salaries are about $143,000, and they go down from there. Doing another search I see the median for college presidents is about $263,000....less than the football coach at ULM!
Its a business. People want the product and so it gets paid for.
Of course, I don't like that most of it is state funded. Should let market determine the value.
Some of ya'll are smoking the good stuff. 9 win seasons at Tech aren't gonna get skip a big time P5 offer.
I think skip is awesome and perfect for Tech, but USF was a huge resume stain. Im sure I don't appreciate the risk our leaders took when hiring him. Rightly or wrongly, his public coaching reputation among fans is not good at all, and he hasn't had enough signature wins to even get on the radar to redeem himself.
Related note: Tech threw him a lifeline and a second chance when no one else would. I'd bet that counts for something in his book
