Yes, LSU isn't exactly the Chicago Bulls. You don't pay people what they feel good about. You pay them what they are worth.
Prohm Contract Extended

I wish it was more than just a 1 year extension, but maybe JP did all he could until ISU gets a new president.
Definitely. If they somehow make the tournament next year, who says they can't tack on another year and move that salary up to $2.5M? And if they don't, $2M is fine for now.
I guess I don't understand what side of the fence you're on. On one hand you're saying that $2 mil is good because he's happy with it and on the other you're saying we should be paying more because P5 schools are making him offers. Pick a side.
You really need to look at Matt Campbell's contract.
You really don't know how it works at all.
Self - 3,856,000
Huggins- 3,250,000
Drew-2,768,154
Kruger-2,750,000
Weber- 1,850,000
Beard- About 1,800,000
Smart- 3,000,000
Dixon- 3,200,000
I just quickly looked these up so they could be off.
When he wins something I will. If he wins 8 games next year, he better get paid. I realize you come from the time of "lil ol' ISU, the lovable losers without any money" but times have changed. If you want to have real programs you pay coaches. Or you can be OSU and hire Gottlieb.
Weber is north of $2 mil, your number was the first year of his deal
I also think your Beard number is too high
Before this extension Prohm was 8th ahead of only Beard (and Underwood). After it Prohm is still 8th.
Yeah, I'm guessing they would have been in that 2.5 range. Texas paid Shaka 3 and I don't think the dynamic is much different between those two.
I'm trying to tell you that money isn't everything. If he's happy and likes his job, let him do his thing. He's had a good tenure here but nothing worth throwing blue blood money at. I love Prohm and hope he stays around, but we've achieved on-par with team expectations so far with two very talented and experienced teams. On-par performance, on-par pay. Now, the time has come to exceed expectations, particularly given that we have a "down year" or "rebuilding year" coming up. I am confident Prohm will earn larger sums of money in due time. The extra $0.5-1 million we could've paid him apparently doesn't matter to him much, because he can and had at least one opportunity go pursue that money elsewhere.
Let's not jump off the deep-end just yet... Give it time. Like I said earlier, ths contract sets us up perfectly to revisit its terms and pay rate right about 2020. By then we will know what we are dealing with him, his kids, his system, and his style, and how much money it's worth to keep for the long haul.
Probably, but you don't empty the gun either. Show him a boatload of appreciation, and have a boatload more waiting for him if his success continues on pace (and I'm sure it will).
You don't get that kind of time. These things happen in a matter of days and weeks. Of course he's happy. He'd probably be "happy" at 1M. That doesn't mean we should be paying him and that doesn't mean it can't get better, especially for a guy who's not at home and has family elsewhere. Good grief guys, Minnesota had serious conversations with Fred Hoiberg because of this type of stuff and we want to continue to do the same ****.
Uhhh, hey Stewo, go hire a coach that WINS!
(coach wins)
HEY, WHY ARE YOU THROWING THE TAXPAYER MONEY AWAY!!!!!
We can't get ahead of ourselves. Many people thought Rhoads should have gotten even more years and money than he did after the season we beat #2 OSU
LOL. So all we have to do is just pay our basketball coach and football coach more than anyone else and we will win championships.
And I was under the mistaken thought that championships come before the large compensation is paid.
Campbell took over a bad football program. Campbell wins 6 games and he gets a $500,000 bonus. That might be doable next year.
