$2.9 million for a baseball coach?
- Thread starter Fighting Irish.sixpack
- Start date
Told yall about that Brinks Truck making it happen on it's third stop!
If that summary of salary and incentives is true, it far exceeds Tim Corbin who was the highest paid college baseball coach in the country. Not sure what UT is doing with Vitello, but they might redo his contract after seeing this. This now makes Brian O'Connor the highest paid coach in the country and it's not close.
For a university that doesn’t have a toilet bowl to piss in or a window to throw it out of, budgeting and economics become important.*****
The money had absolutely nothing to do with it. I read on a very reliable source (wink wink) he left UVA because the AD was "woke" **
Could you imagine if Old Mrs had the 2nd highest paid baseball coach?
They'd be smoking cigars as a banner was hung on the square.

Yep. They would also be sporting decals on vehicles showcasing their donor level.
BREAKING NEWS: Ole Miss increases Mike Bianco’s contract to $3 mil a year.
BOC will average a higher score per game than crooms
Well, I watched most of his games and I'm still waiting to see him coach.
i'm pretty sure Vitello was and is the highest paid coach in the country. BOC is now the second highest paid.
He's likely very serious. When people have been told all their lives they should remain accustomed to living with modest means they tend to become flustered when there's a Cadillac in the driveway.
Well I didn't even remotely imply that BOC left b/c someone was woke.
I DID imply the AD was woke.
$4,000 + season tickets, they've already sent word to everyone. That's an $800 increase from last year
I mean nothing wrong with living modestly (and more people should do it), but there is also nothing wrong with paying for the best coach you can get.
If anyone is cancelling or would like to sublet (is that contractually possible) to me please slide into my DM's.
"Crooms" was hired almost 22 years ago. And, we got what we paid for, not much of anything.
Nah, if Lebby fails, we'll still go hire a cheap assistant or some marginal G5 guy. We won't ever make this kind of hire in football.
He told me he was gonna do it for free but we just happen to be really really rich and generous.
I just posted what it is this year elsewhere in this thread. If fans don't like it, blame your AD, not the lounge holders. Lounge holders didn't set the price.
I'm not blaming anyone. I'm just stating a fact. Its a bargain price that I take advantage of. If the price goes up, i'll either continue to pay or I want. But someone will gladly swoop up the lounge if my group backs out.
We're spending $3million on disco lights in Davis Wade. Flashing lights that won't get turned on for at least half our games or more
Of course not because no coach relative to BOC in football would come here to fail for even crazy money. State football is not in the same realm as baseball.
Only State fans would comment that BOC is the best hire in our history and then get upset when they hear what we paid him. It is the cost of playing the game. It simply boils down to $$$ if you want to win going forward. We could have hired another unknown assistant and hoped for the best and saved money. Just imagine what folks on hear would have posted about Semon then! Just be happy that the UVA fans are whining and crying about their program.
If true, that would mean Selmon is doing his job and doing it well.
Corbin's base is now around 2.6 million before incentives. With incentives if he achieves them all would put him around 3.2 million. BOC apparently is getting 2.9 million in base and would be pushing 4 million with all incentives achieved. Vitello looks to be solidly in with those 3 and may be the front runner, but not by very much. All of this info. is what we've all heard or read somewhere that may or may not be actuality. Needless to say, all those coaches and including likely Arkansas, LSU, and Schloss at TX are pretty much all the same. Good to see that we decided to be competitive with those programs and up the ante for a real coach.
With inflation that's roughly $1.234m and that was for someone who was an assistant. Not for someone who had won a national championship
