The Big 12 and ACC cannot possibly keep up with the Big Ten and SEC. We need to poach Coach Prime from Colorado with a 50% salary increase of $9 million/year.
Why I don’t think Walters 100% gets fired and why that’s a good thing
- Thread starter BCfanatic2020
- Start date
We supposedly got told thanks but no thanks by multiple head coaches 2 years ago.
The larger pool of candidates you can have access to, the better the odds of success are.
We won’t make it to the 2nd interview with the next Tiller or Brohm if we don’t have a better salary cap answer than we did 2 years ago… in my opinion.
Two years ago we didn't have the $80-100 million TV money coming in. We do now. We need to pour all of that money into boosting the football program. The Big 12, ACC and G5 cannot possibly keep up.
Ghost of Fat Jack mentioned that we have spent $115 million on stadium upgrades over the past few years. For what? Remember that goofy thingy in the south end zone that is now gone?
We need to spend big money on a coach and player incentives that will make us competitive again in the Big Ten.
I honestly think BoBo convinced himself that he could keep Brohm away from Louisville. He was wrong, and the CRW hire was a panic response for getting caught without any backup plan.
Just asking for better than Walters. That won't be hard.
We did. It was 55-60mil 2 years ago. It’s like $70mil now. Was still more than ACC and BIG12 teams had.
It’s time to press the advantage here.
Offer a guy $8mil, competitive assistant pool and outline what’s coming in revenue sharing and let them turn you down.
Then go to plan B and C guys.
You’re not at a point here you can continue with this coach at this point.
Agreed. I’d like to get closer to Joe Tiller or Jeff Brohm than Danny Hope or Jim Colletto though.
Like I said, if you believe it is a matter of NIL, write the check. I'm sure they will take it.
NIL is moot until we have a guy who can teach scheme, lining up correctly, blocking and tackling.
It’s a matter of player payroll if we want a Cignetti or Brohm instead of a Danny Hope who has no other options.
If the player payroll isn’t where it needs to be yet, maybe it makes sense to punt on the 2025 season, let Bobo retire, bring in a new AD, let Walters be the punching bag of next years schedule, then have the new AD make the move next fall.
And let basketball have a bigger cut of the 2025-26 player payroll, to help retain what should be a very good team, and maybe add a key transfer.
Your terrible idea is gong to get purdue kicked out of the b1g/$ec and into the mac.
We’re not getting kicked out of the B1G in the next year. Or 2 years.
I'm sure oregon state and Washington state said the same dumb statements before the implosion of the PAC.
If we're at the bottom of NIL or payroll or whatever it is now, let's be the Tampa Bay Rays and figure out how to compete in spite of it.
Agree. A good coach and modest NIL gets you to 6-7 wins.
Let’s figure the rest out from there
Who said anything about telling a specific coach to wait? Next year when the job opens you have a different pool lol. Coaches who don’t have to take any job aren’t going to a place where they’ll have money in a year.
Oh no no no. I am not giving a dime. But I’m fine with 5-7. The giving is only required of those who complain. Anyone who has expectations and ISNT giving needs to be the one to put the money where their mouth is.
if we run it back with Walters, how much revenue share should an all time terrible 2025 roster get?
Just because a coach works in one place doesn't mean you can just cut and paste them into literally any place and have the same result.
I'm fine with 3 or 4 wins if we're competitive. Let's get to MAC level performance and then worry about NIL.
I'm not talking about specific coaches. You have the listening/reading skills of a 2 year old or someone with significant ADHD, which explains the number of posts you produce...
