Stricklin to Florida?

I am interested in the opinion that Political Hack has regarding this situation.

I think I'd bump him up in salary, but not anywhere near $1 mill. Then I'd push hard that this is home...we are family, and he'd have to 17 up pretty bad to not get a helluva lot more rope here than he'd get at UF. Though we are restricted by state law on length of contract, we could and should sell defacto job security as an element for him to consider.

And a no-brainer would be to stress to him what kind of hell it might be to have Foley lording over his every move. He'd be AD in title, but Ass't AD in practice, and with no intrinsic loyalty to lean on at UF.

If he busted out there, he'd no longer have MSU to fall back on for an AD spot. I can't imagine we'd take him back if he left us for UF.

A lot of old timers won't agree, but Strick has also killed it in promoting the university through traditional and tech marketing which has benefited our University tremendously. We aren't or wouldn't be just losing a guy that makes hiring and firing decisions but somewhat of a trailblazer in the College Athletic Marketing world which for a school like MSU is huge(not so important at an Alabama or UF). Either way we are in a decent position to hire another good AD and have done a good job on the last two.

I think I agree on salary but probably throw a difficult but reachable bonus structure on top. Go to $700,000 plus possible $3-400,000 extra.

If he goes he goes if he stays he stays. Just go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time because frankly I don't give a shit.

Lol, this! :)

When Byrne left for Arizona, the first I heard of it was when he emailed Bulldog Club members and said he was leaving. There has been no such email from Stricklin ... yet. The rumored offer from Florida certainly seems inflated though.

If Byrne is making 600 grand at Arizona, I have a difficult time contemplating paying Stricklin much more than that. No way in hell would I attempt to match a 1+ million dollar offer from UF. Not saying Scott doesn't deserve a raise, but nothing like that rich skank UF can throw at him.

I wouldn't blame SS for leaving at all if the reported salary offer of 1+ million is true. I just think he isn't worth that to MSU. Stricklin's real worth would be determined by how he handles our football program at the end of the 2017 season. Looks as if we will never know the answer to that Kwerstion.

If I'm thinking of the same as them it was 2011. They had this idea that students should camp out in the junction the night before student tickets went on sale. Seemed like a good idea. Horribly executed. That was my sophomore year. I got drunk and had a good time but it turned into a clusterfuk.

Mainly because the SA didn't communicate with EOG nor MSUPD about security oversight on it, so there was little to no security for most of the duration. Also, there were going to be "check-ins" throughout the night to make sure you actually were camped out and on site. Also, they didn't think that many students would show up for it, but when so many did they had no contingency plan for it. At around 11 PM or so, they called it off and just told people to show up in the morning for it.

Mark has had to cut the legs out of both sides because of negative impact some boosters were having and still trying. And he did it to the boosters as well. There is not anywhere near the contention between him and Strick you are alluding to.

Your last sentence that Scott is getting out while he had little stock value to market himself is as absurd and shows what little information you really have. It's freaking Florida coming at his twice with nearly triple salary. That's not littlle stock value and luckily landing up in job. Asinine thought process.

If negative booster side you mean straight from the horses mouth (MK) the yes you are correct.think what you want, but know there is a reason no extension or demand granted this off season to any of the Country Club members..

Yeah about that... I find it so funny a Bear Fan would be so obsessed with their rivals to come on this board and then post nothing but about their own school and not think it would get noticed.

Bye Bye Bye
