We are going to make a major $$$$ investment in staff
I believe you but just pointing out that doesn't every new coach get this statement made about their staff? When Moorhead was hired, I specifically remember a post saying that Joe was taking a reasonable salary so he could be aggressive with assistants. And yet here we are 2 years later.
If we want Napier I cant imagine hes not insisting on it. Weve got one of the lowest paid staffs in the conference, it's really really hard to get good coaches, let alone keep them. And hes a big recruiter so I'm sure he wants more than the 500k we spend on recruiting staff.
I'm all for it. 1) Its not my money, 2) our athletic department is 15M in the black so we can afford it, and 3) I want to win
I'm hearing we are going to have to in order to bring in the guy we want. Assistants, analyst, recruiting staff and recruiting budgets all will see very significant increases.
This has to be obvious to Cohen. We're sitting dead last in the SEC in assistants' salary pool around $3.6 mil according to USA Today article. That needs to be around or slightly above $5 mil to bring in a really solid staff. Let's hope we open up the damn check book this go around.
I remember back in the day it was shocking when JWS was the first college coach to break the $1M barrier at A&M. Amazing.
If we can seal it- we are about to hire a major S&C coach also.
