Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

UW is committed to offering candidates an annual salary between $2 million and $3 million annually

So this pretty much rules out Gregg Marshall. FWIW, Kevin O neill also ranks us fourth, behind Indiana, NCSU and Illinois, in front of Louisiana state and Cal.

What do you guys think? The salary makes sense considering we are not a big basketball school, but it's hard to believe that we can get a good coach with that amount of money.

What we should hope for is that Indiana and Illinois both pry away power 5 coaches that currently have a job, so that we have more mid major coaches to choose from.

    $2-3M should get a quality coach
    Yes it might be. However, we are competing against NCSU and Illinois for these coaches. We don't really need to worry about Indiana as they are not going for the coaches that we are going for.

    Hire young and hungry at 2 million and they will think its awesome. If they are good they get a raise. If not gone, no warning, just gone.

    Who would be a young and hungry guy? Richard Pitino?

    This would be my route. Up and comer thrilled with $2 mill and UW, huge buyout if he leaves early, no buyout if he's terminated

    Cal ranked too high.















    But still a better job than UW.

    Location wise yes. They do have to compete with LA and USC for recruits though, so we have the advantage in terms of recruiting at UW.

    I'm really sold strong on Eric Musselman of the likely candidates, unless there is an out of the blue big time hire (Hoiberg or something like that).
