    No, why use the description at all? It means nothing.

    I think a little more cash and assumes the decision making in a game if the head coach gets tossed.

    Rice supposedly has $300k for baseball salary pool.

    Barton made $80k here(not bad), and will make $160 there. Hard to say no to Rice in baseball and that kind of salary bump. No hard feelings, he did a great job.

    Silva was up for the job last year as well but LB is close to Curry and I don't think wanted to do to him what usm coach pulled by taking Ostrander.

    USM didn't snake Ostrander. Ostrander was leaving due to chemistry between him and LB. USM was also home to him. FWIW, I think Ostrander and our AD are more to blame that LB or USM was.

    Ostrander was HC material

    Not saying he was not, but our AD didn't think so. In his usual cowardice he named him "co-head coach" to appease the many fans who believed he would be and deserved the HC position after our AD picked a guy who was unproven in the SLC...

    Now saying that, I witnessed Ostrander throw LB under the bus in a post game interview when LB was thrown out of a game which was typically, but possibly THE worst call any idiot C-USA Ump could ever make. I lost all respect for Ostrander after that FUBAR interview and knew he had no future at EllAyeTech.
