Salaries Released
- Thread starter HiltonSouth
- Start date
Also, the 275k and 235k are just the base numbers. That's what they get if the team is **** terrible.
Big 12 tournament title: $21k / $18k
Big 12 regular-season title or NCAA at-large pick: $10k / $9k
Sweet 16, Elite 8, Final Four, championship: $5300 / $4500 per round
So win it all in KC and make the Sweet 16, and that $275k jumps to just over $300k.

FB season's not even started, and you're already firing CPR. I know almost everyone on this tie has lost faith, but let us give him an opportunity to regain that faith. Anyway, I fify.
Otz will be fine. It's MUCH cheaper living in Ames, IA than Seattle, WA, and on an additional 57k. I would be happy with a better job and an additional 57k.
Seriously? He's been given a ton of opportunities and just makes the team worse each year. Rhoads should've been gone after the bowl loss to Tulsa. If you are one of those "let us give him an opportunity" people this late in the game, you're way too patient.
Back to basketball, there's nothing wrong with these salaries. I'm sure there was room for raises. If this staff hits a home run this year and gets a lot of good recruits, you can bet our assistants will get a raise.
So we think BIG12 tournament is worth twice as much as the regular season title per the $$$$s?
last I checked, these guys agreed to these terms. Must have been ok with them???
As for them leaving, if they have 1-year contracts like most do, they can renegotiate once they've done a job consistent with a higher paying assistant.
Not sure I see what the gripe is here and not sure I understand the assumptions that people will leave. I mean, Fred was making pretty good money and...
He's still coming out way, way positive here rather than in WA. Even moreso factoring in potential bonuses.
According to this cost of living calculator, $275K in Ames is equal to $371k in Seattle. http://www.bankrate.com/calculators/savings/moving-cost-of-living-calculator.aspx
So in a couple months he has gone from $218k to $371k in "seattle" dollars. I would say his move back to Ames has been darn successful from a financial standpoint.
Below is a link to the the tax foundations website that tells you how far a $100 goes in each state. Using this we can figure out the purchasing power of TJ's salary. In WA paying $100 gets you $96.90 worth of goods. 218,000/100 = 2,180. 2,180*96.9 = $211,242. In Iowa spending $100 gets you $111.73 worth of stuff. So that same $218,000 would turn into 2,180*111.73 = $243,571.40 worth of purchasing power. Now we know he got a $57,000 raise so 570*111.73 = $63,686.10. So moving from Washington results in TJ going from having an effective salary of $211,242 to now having an effective salary of $307,439.50 or a effective raise of $93,197.50 or a 45.53% raise. Also remember that WA doesn't have an income tax, but Seattle does have a 9.5% sales tax and their real estate taxes are considerably higher than Iowas. All states have to raise revenue, just because they don't have an income tax doesn't mean you aren't paying the tax bill in some other way. To demonstrate that Washington budge per capita is approx $2,705 per resident and Iowa's is $2,317 per resident.
So I don't think we can argue that TJ is being slighted in his move. Please also remember there are bonuses to earn, as well as this is a new coaching staff, I am sure these are all substantial raises from their previous positions, And as we saw with Fred, if the results warrant it, JP will be willing to open up the checkbook.

Do you ever have anything positive to say? I mean seriously. So who would you have REALISTICALLY rather seen than the guys that we hired?
Otz got a $45,000 raise from what was a signed contract for 2015/16. He is the highest paid assistant on staff. Sounds about right.
I am not one who blindly advocates throwing a lot of money at people and then thinks that merely spending more money will mean better results. That is sheer stupidity.

Patient........a word used often at Iowa State. CPR is the coach for this coming season. You need to accept that decision. The results of the coming year will determine the future course of Iowa State football.
IMO, the Gene Chizik hire and other failed hires at other schools have factored into the decision to retain CPR for the coming year. Along with the fact, that we had a nearly complete overhaul of the coaching staff just over a year ago. If the coming season is decent, then CPR will be retained. If not, then I would expect that CPR might take the road that McCarney took and "resign". That is the way I see it playing out. So whether you like it or not, CPR will coach the entire 2015 football season. You can be as impatient as you like, but that is reality.
What amount would you have been happy with? And what are a few names you think that amount could attract?
Imo we should have expected to spend more on the staff including HC then we did in 13-14. Go until you get a guy like Fuller or Chew.
That would be nice but what if they are happy where they are at and would have only left for an exorbitant amount of money? Maybe we offered and they said no thanks. Maybe Prohm did not think they would be the right fit for what he is trying to do. Hard to say. With the timing of everything I think we put together a very solid staff. I don't think we tried to cheap out by any means. It's not like he hired a bunch of young inexperienced and unproven coaches at bottom dollar.
