The football coach oversees more staff and 7x as many scholarship players.

It is a bigger responsibility and a harder job.

It's always seemed like the KA lovers have a low opinion of - zounami MU - 1/9 16:39:19

Not a safe way to make a generalization. - alwaysright MU - 1/9 17:52:30

Nope - Bump834 MU - 1/9 18:27:49

To my knowledge, no comparable hire has ever been - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 16:54:14

I'm surprised you're not world famous for your fiction. - MizzouTigerz MU

- 1/9 18:42:59

That's a valid explanation for the phenomenon. (nm) - zounami MU - 1/9 17:00:49

Nah, we are just being realistic in the thread below. - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/9 16:47:49

Paying a coach 5 mil and settling for Kim Anderson - sharpwp UNC - 1/9 22:36:57

You agree that Mizzou is a great job though, correct? (nm) - zounami MU - 1/9 16:48:36

Yes, of course(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/9 16:50:18

So you agree it's easier to win at Mizzou than, say, Wichita - zounami MU - 1/9 16:51:43

Not necessarily no. But it's more complex than that. - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/9 16:54:40

By your logic, all coaches should want mid-major jobs... - zounami MU - 1/9 17:00:16

How many pay $3 million+ like WSU? None. - TigerMatt STL - 1/9 17:05:49

How many pay $4 million+ like some Power 5 schools? (nm) - zounami MU - 1/9 17:07:54

Only 5 schools pay that much.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 1/9 17:09:04

I want to live in the fantasyland - TigerUppercut MU - 1/9 17:09:48

I think we did for awhile, with Quin. Top 5 or Top 10. (nm) - zounami MU - 1/9 17:10:29

He wasn't hired at that number. nm - TigerUppercut MU - 1/9 17:14:20

2002 he got a bump to just over $1 million.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 1/9 17:21:49

Think he was 8th at that point, but the bigger point was - TigerUppercut MU - 1/9 17:22:49

We've paid a top 10 salary before, when it was warranted. (nm) - zounami MU - 1/9 17:28:35

I dont see us paying a BB coach more than the FB coach.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 1/9 17:25:40

That's ridiculous and was already discussed today... - zounami MU - 1/9 17:29:20

Only a handful of schools do it, and they all have been - TigerMatt STL - 1/9 17:38:08

We are neither a BB or FB school. We are a "try to do as - zounami MU - 1/9 17:57:54

Mostly agree, except - TigerUppercut MU - 1/9 17:26:47

Why do you think the FB coach has to make as much as the - zounami MU - 1/9 17:30:03

Football is the biggest revenue generator at most schools. - TigerMatt STL - 1/9 17:39:37

and each FB coach, and BB coach, has a market value... - zounami MU - 1/9 18:00:49

Honestly, it's not that I do - TigerUppercut MU - 1/9 17:30:35

So why did you say "bump Odom's salary to make it even"... - zounami MU - 1/9 17:33:30

RE: So why did you say "bump Odom's salary to make it even"... - TigerUppercut MU - 1/9 17:39:08

We're already overpaying Odom substantially, by at least - zounami MU - 1/9 18:01:40

Mid-majors? (nm) - zounami MU - 1/9 17:09:29

5 period. Your view of salaries is way off.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 1/9 17:10:21

No mid-majors? (nm) - zounami MU - 1/9 17:11:01

90%+ of the Big Boys don't pay that...nm - TigerUppercut MU - 1/9 17:10:09

A lot of them pay $3M or close. Wichita State is very lucky - zounami MU - 1/9 17:12:07

Only 11 P5 schools pay $3 million+(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 1/9 17:13:07

That's quite a few, and I imagine a lot pay - zounami MU - 1/9 17:15:00

Less than 20% of P5 schools. (nm) - TigerMatt STL - 1/9 17:16:41

He literally just makes **** up. nm - TigerUppercut MU - 1/9 17:14:34

Or $5 million+ like some Power 5 schools? (nm) - zounami MU - 1/9 17:08:16

Only 2 schools do. (nm) - TigerMatt STL - 1/9 17:09:56

Mid-majors? (nm) - zounami MU - 1/9 17:10:51

Or $6 million+ like some Power 5 schools? (nm) - zounami MU - 1/9 17:09:04

Only Duke & Kentucky pay that.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 1/9 17:11:11

Power 5 schools. (nm) - zounami MU - 1/9 17:12:23

Your point is retarded. P5 schools generally dont pay $3 - TigerMatt STL - 1/9 17:14:40

So you didn't even get the point... - zounami MU - 1/9 17:16:32

GM isn't going to make more. He isnt an elite coach.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 1/9 17:17:44

no. - bornoncampus MU - 1/9 16:46:33

So you agree that Mizzou is a great job, correct? (nm) - zounami MU - 1/9 16:49:09
