I want even take time googling Memphis b'ball coaching salaries vs LSU'S. I'd bet big money all the memphis coaches make more than lsu's. and of course kirby would have indeed gotten a raise leaving lsu for memphis. oh and btw, whomever it was, please don't refer to kirby as "coach K"...that's just jacked upQuote:

Stans may have gotten the players.... but everyone is more upset with what he did after he got the players. With the right coaching and DISCIPLINE, State could have been a Kentucky like program. But he choked on the actual coaching aspect in his career. I'm all for the bashing because the teams Stans coached were poorly executed.... especially late in the games. Ray has these kids in shape and hungry to win. Stans never had the control and comradery that Ray possesses, and that is why we bash him.Quote:

Josh Pastner of Memphis makes $1.69 million while Johnny Jones of LSU is making $1.1 million. Kirby was making $240,000 a year at LSU and is now making $304,500 at Memphis.Quote:

Nice to have you on the board, Meo. Do you and Rick have West championship banner sheets and comforter?Quote:

The talent level is just not good, so the game is not enjoyable to watch - almost boring. The most talent and fun was at halftime watching the "Kings of the Court" (Grizzlies dunking team).Quote:

I have little doubt Memphis' coach makes far more off the court than LSU's.
For the record, here's one saying Pastner is making 2.14M to 2.57M a year in base pay.
" ....Memphis for seven more years through the 2019-2020 season. He will also be paid a base salary between $15 million to $18 million"

Why on the day after we beat the #1 team in the SEC are you spending energy worrying about what could have been?
Did Stansbury upset you personally in some way?
I'm glad our team is playing hard defense and finding a way to win at home. Hope it continues.
Hello, My name is Coach34. I've been messing with State fans about Stands for 10 years nowQuote:

No doubt we could use him given our current roster, but he's no more better than Gavin Ware with a year more experience.
ok.
you've built a website that is excellent for discussion of things msu.
"messing with" a portion of your audience (for lack of a better term) detracts from the excellence.
10 years ago we were in the middle of a 4 year in a row NCAA run.
Stans got way more than he lost in MS. Time will tell on Ray, but he's looking like a hell of a floor coach which is a huge plus. Right now Stans looks like the superior recruiter and Ray looks like the superior floor coach. We can all argue until we're blue in the face, but it's irrelevant.Quote:

I agree with thatQuote:

The atmosphere in Stansbury's LAST year was better than this year - I was at all of those games. It's bordering on the "Blame It on Bush" mentality.
