We maybe talking about one of the top assts. in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinny1 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 The article is behind a paywall and that rag is not getting any of my money. I got in??? But I usually do not put any credence to anything the Beaumont Emptyprise says. Lucky to get high school football scores and obituaries correct ( the only reason folks subscribe).

lamarfan360 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 I too like Terry Johnson but we might not be able to afford him. He makes over $300k at Ohio State. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinny1 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I too like Terry Johnson but we might not be able to afford him. He makes over $300k at Ohio State. Yes, he is one of the higher paid assistants and would only come to Lamar for the HC opportunity, not the money. From my research, seems like ACC & Big10 assistants make more on average and Ohio is not that expensive of a state to live in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachacola Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I tried again and got in. I do not think $300k is out the question. They joined the WAC knowing they would have to spend more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that $300k to $350k is possible, but will Johnson leave Ohio State for a small bump in pay? The Butler job was about twice that amount plus large incentives.

The Butler job was about twice that amount plus large incentives. This link will show you Coach Johnsons total financial package at OSU. I believe if he agrees to a couple of guarantee games a year we could afford him and his assistants. https://247sports.com/college/ohio-state/Article/Ohio-State-Buckeyes-basketball-contract-salaries-Ryan-Pedon-Terry-Johnson-Jake-Diebler-assistant-coaches-135479861/ Edited March 25, 2021 by lamarfan360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Looks to me like it would take a roughly $400,000 package to equal his current contract plus the $50K buy out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinny1 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I would think he would take less to run his own program. The question is, how much less? The first key would be is he interested in returning to Lamar, other words - will he apply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN is reporting that OU's Lon Kruger is retiring after 45 years of coaching. The Sooners will probably look to proven Head Coaches Edited March 26, 2021 by lamarfan360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinny1 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Wonder if they will promote Pooh Williamson? I believe he was the interim HC at Tulsa a few years back. If they do not pick Pooh, he is available. Or maybe Oklahoma will go after Greg Marshall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexGator Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I couldn't see the list of other people, but I don't see Johnson coming to Lamar for two reasons: (1) He can get a better job where he's a bigger name. There are mid-majors in the Great Lakes region where Johnson is already known (and knows all the AAU coaches) so he'd hold out for one of those, if he's not drawn to one of the programs that opens this year (2) We're paying Coach Morgan $265K. I don't see Lamar budgeting to pay the basketball coach $100K more than the football coach, when both have the moniker of "former Power Conference assistant" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Lamar budgeting to pay the basketball coach $100K more than the football coach, when both have the moniker of "former Power Conference assistant" I agree, but I think there is a possibility that the MBB coach will make slightly more than the FB coach, but within $100K of each other. I have no real data to support this except for limited information on the athletic department budget. And I am not sure about the availability of donor money since it took Marco almost a year to get the money to replace the turf in PU Stadium.

lamarfan360 Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) The WAC although starting FCS football is a basketball conference. If Lamar want to be a power in the WAC in basketball, they will have to pay a coach on equal terms as ACU, SFA, SHSU, GCU, NM State and others. I won't be shocked if LU pays the new coach $300k.

And I am not sure about the availability of donor money since it took Marco almost a year to get the money to replace the turf in PU Stadium. I can see $300K, but not $350K+ Either way, we need to get the guy and work out the money after getting the guy. A coach that's going to haggle over "only" making $300K plus some incentives and perks (in one of the most affordable cities in America to live) isn't going to be a fit in Beaumont anyway. Looking at the mid-major salary database, the going rate in the WAC is about $300K/year. I'd bet that will be about where the new coach lands- maybe a little less if he comes w/o head coach experience OR wasn't a big college assistant. Coaching salaries don't get recruits- winning does. Hire a winner- promise him some spiffs like for postseason play and 1st Team All-Conference and we should be in a good place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachacola Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Matt Figger was making about $250k at Austin Peay and UTRGV just hired him away so he will probably be making about $300k now. And why do apostrophes sometimes work and sometimes not? Is that to trick us into trying to use them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cancels out my post from the apostrophe on when I'm on my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
