Not that common sense will be found anywhere near anything you post on this topic -- because it obviously won't. It was 2011 I'm talking about. And I didn't say Marshall specifically -- but a similar name/reputation coach. Marshall was making $900k at that point in time and had no guarantees of getting that program to the level he currently is at. We would have paid him $2mil+. So, obviously, the timeframe I'm talking about was WELL BEFORE his Final 4 run and big pay day. They were a NCAA team for the first time in his 5th year and bowed out in the first round.
