BREAKING: #LaTech basketball coaches @CoachKonkol & @BrookeStoehr each receive 1-year contract extension. Konkol thru 2022, Stoehr thru 2023
Yep! the very thing DR promised pigtails. She claims she left because she couldn't get a 5-yr-deal, which would have guaranteed her 20 years with the state and thus locking in state retirement, which she qualifies for anyway once she reaches the age of 60, with her 15 years of tenure. At that time no coaches, not even at LSU, could get 5-year deals. So, DR says look, sign the 4-year deal and we'll give you an extension after a couple of years. In fact, if we are to believe pigtails would have done a good job, she could STILL be at Tech all these decades later!
But, I'm glad Brooke is our coach. I like Brooke....I don't like pigtails. That witch is where she belongs, right in the middle of a soiled, sorry-azz Baylor with all its scandals. She fits right in.
I'm not excusing Mulkey's behavior, if it is true (I've only heard third and fourth hand accounts). Hindsight is 20/20 of course, but Tech SHOULD have given her the 5-year deal she wanted. With what we were under Barmore to our slow decline, compared with what Mulkey did at Baylor, what is one more year? Hell, I can make the argument that Kurt Budke would still be alive if we gave her that one more year. Did Mulkey act poorly? probably Should we have given her what she wanted anyway? definitely.
Yea right at Baylor and winning and getting some of the best players in the country. How has that worked out here without her. Brooke is great but the window has closed on that talent level. It went to Waco.
valid point...just curious...maybe I missed something? What are the major issues with wbb at Baylor?
Great one
Had the pleasure to attend " Dinner with the Dogs " last evening.
Great time with friendly folks and outstanding young athletes.
We are very fortunate to have such a classy head coach.
Highly recommend for every Tech fan.
This is not true. People need to quit spreading that silly rumor. Nick Saban's first contract at LSU was a 5-yr deal for $6M. And that was in 1999, long before Mulkey's contract dispute with Dan Reneau. Below are three proof sources. There are others out there as well if needed.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.6466f78ac2aaAbout a week after Michigan State accepted the Citrus Bowl invitation, LSU officials approached Saban about their head coaching vacancy. Saban, now keenly aware of the political nature of the bowl selection process, listened closely. He listened because the money was right -- $6 million over five seasons -- and because he was tired of playing second fiddle in the state of Michigan.-- Quote from New Story
http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/12/nick...igan-state-lsuThis was so long ago that LSU and Saban agreed on $6 million, which the university managed to spread stingily across five years. (It takes less than one for him to get to that figure nowadays.) -- Quote from article
The deal was made official the next week. Saban reportedly got $6 million over 5 years, a raise from the $700,000 he’d made the previous year at MSU and an entry into the more than a million dollar a year coaching club.-- Quote from article

Saban got a 4-year-deal with an automatic extension if he was not involved in some scandal. Typical of the media to report it wrong, or in this case, just be lazy and make the assumption he would not be involved in some scandal and get the full 5 years. The extension had nothing to do with performance. Had LSU gone 0-12 and then 2-10, and then be struggling in his 3rd year, at 2-4 or something and talk of firing Saban was rampant (which it would have been), he was to be paid $1.2 million/year for the full 5 years, because the automatic extension would be applied when the contract "terminated" which would have been at the end of YEAR 4. Again, provided there was no scandal, NCAA violations, that type of thing.
It was a 4-year contract with an extension built in.
Matters not anymore. DR is gone as is KMR. Good ridence.
