But with the contacts and relationships that he has cultivated over the years this would be a bonanza for Tech. Power 5 schools would be begging to travel to Ruston to play us, across the board in all sports. Not to mention the AAC would be begging us to join their conference, maybe even the ACC or Big 12. The possibilities are endless. The folks at UCONN and USF just love him to death.
Plus, like others have said, we could pay him a million a year. This would all but assure he would never leave, but we could still give him a $100,000 raise every year to keep he poachers away.
It is amazing we have been able to hang on to a coach with such great connections. It has been so beneficial in scheduling great teams to come to Ruston to play. Just imagine the schedules of teams coming to play here in the future with Skip in charge of scheduling. Just with Lou's former employers we could have Notre Dame, South Carolina, Minnesota, Arkansas and NC State all visit the Joe.
Rockstars all the way around. Championship banners abound. We just beat Southern Miss. We could probably beat South Alabama too. We are idiots if we don't give Skip the job! Who cares if he wants the job or not?
