2.9 million for a baseball coach while your football team sucks total *** is retarded.
I’d rather go 7-5 and beat Ole Miss in football over a baseball championship, if I had to choose one over the other.

Go suck start a shotgun

Just rename this thread ‘delete’ and replace the body of the post with ‘nm’.
How about both?
Can you do math?
I see you are missing a key element. That’s all I’ll say. Very easy now to see who knows and who goes by media talking heads.
You sir are an idiot which we all knew
I’m very interested to see your math actually
Too bad it’s not your money to spend buddy. I love all of the big three state sports but if we have fans that are dialed in on one that want to throw life changing money at just that one part of the program I’m saying please sir may we have some more.
We may not win 7 games again. Might as well be good at something.
You could give another 10 million for football and you still won't be in the top half. Like for 17 sake. We can pay 3 mil in baseball and be at the top of the conference consistently with right leadership
7-5 is 2-10. This is the CFP era. Who cares about non-CFP bowl games?
$300,000 for winning the CWS seems low.
Shut up man. You’re just being butt hurt. That is a loser mentality.
Exactly. Some people on this board just can’t understand that for some reason.
So why spend $5.5 million on football staff plus big money on football NIL then? Why spend $4.3 of that on the head coach alone?
People don’t understand that we are not diverting money from football. These are solely baseball people giving to the coaching search. We are spending money like a big boy program. If you want to win in football, you put more money in it.
Another $2.9 to football won’t help one bit.
I've seen full colostomy bags with more sense than you
The majority of fans do. You go at least 7-5 consistently and best Ole Miss most of the time and see who cares. We suck monkey balls and still had 50,000 a game.
If we have boosters that want to pay this kind of money for baseball, why would we tell them no? Let them do it and enjoy the fruits of it. I wish we had the same relative purchasing power in football but for whatever reason, we just don't. I can't tell people what to do with their money...
Give me a baseball national championship over a hundred Liberty bowls. I would actually rather be great at something than mediocre at everything.
My biggest complaint about the baseball conversation is “We can’t make money on baseball.” Maybe. But we can sure as hell lose money on it. UGA is paying their coach 1.3 million dollars and have a 4,000 seat stadium. If we pack ours (and sorry raise ticket prices) it’s a solid return on investment.
So why then even spend $5.5 million on football staff plus big money on football NIL then? Why spend $4.3 of that on the head coach alone?
The point is we can pay much less to be great in baseball than it takes to be good in football. Th arms race in football is a lot different. If you want to be big in football you need 9 mil for a great coach at least and then 20-30 mil in nil funds. That likely gets exponentially beat by the big money programs that care a lot about football and will give more because we do.
I included, and beat Ole Miss most of the time. Beating Ole Miss in baseball is not even close to the same as what it means to beat them in football. I would rather be pretty good at football than win any championship in baseball. As do most fans in this country. There’s a reason why we’re paying the baseball coach the second highest salary in the nation. And it’s not because we’re the richest.
7-5 is NOT 2-10. I saw last season. Most miserable thing I’ve seen in over 35 years.
All contact bonuses are ridiculously low. You see football coaches making 8 mil with a $100,000 bonus for winning the SEC championship.
Glad you’re seeing the light
I’m pretty sure that even women’s college basketball gets more viewers than college baseball. Hell three times as many people watched the Iowa/South Carolina women's basketball game as the MLB World Series.
I see the "Cam Newton was too expensive" crowd is at full tilt.
