UW is committed to offering candidates an annual salary between $2 million and $3 million annually
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 coachPetersen3098 said: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.

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.dnc said:

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.

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.salemcoog said:

Jen - you have people monitoring this. Just no. Please. Just fucking no.

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).

I don't follow closely enough to know but it is the best business decision. Hungry is better than a Crean guy that will be bitter and already failedPetersen3098 said:

True, we can either get a proven mediocre coach like Crean, or we can take a chance with a hungry not proven coach.RaceBannon said:

If they land him make sure not to get too attached. Dude makes Larry Brown look like the model of stability. Following his first coaching gig he's coached at 14 different places and never stayed longer than 2 years.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said: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).

NC State has been on Archie Miller
Illinois is as much of a dumpster fire as the UW job at this point ...
LSU is terrible ... they'll make a bad hire
Cal will go after Randy Bennett
Assuming Alford takes the Indiana job, who UCLA goes after will be interesting on a couple of levels. First, how big of a contract do they throw out there and if a huge one what does that do to their ability to move on from. Similar to how Pete wasn't a good fit at USC, I'm not sure Marshall is a great fit for UCLA. He's an energy, defensive minded coach with a focus on team accomplishment over the individual and UCLA likes offense and loves promoting its stars.
IF Marshall was listening, I think it's more likely that he'd be interested in Washington ahead of Illinois. UCLA is UCLA ... so that would obviously be a huge issue to dodge ... probably best to then hope that Marshall is out first weekend before UCLA is eliminated and anything with Alford is decided. -
Romar to UCLA?

I don't think Marshall will take a pay cut to come to Washington.

I don't think Marshall would take a pay cut ... but I don't think you have to go to a $5M level to get him
Also, if the report was that UW was prepared to pay in the $4M to $5M range ... how many coaches fit in that discussion?
Anything that comes out at this point is all speculation anyway ... Cohen sounded like she knew who she was targeting ... LIPO -

$2-3 Million with no state income tax and don't most of our head coaches get free cars and housing allowance? That may help but probably still rules out the big names unless Jen has blackmail tape on them.

We wouldn't pay $4-5M because that's more than we pay coach pete and I don't think the Athletic department would allow this budget when we haven't done shit in basketball for a while.Tequilla said:I don't think Marshall would take a pay cut ... but I don't think you have to go to a $5M level to get him

I get the feeling most on this bored unable to wrap their head around how solid the 2-3 mil number is, because they're used to thinking in terms of football coach salaries. $2-3 mil is GOOD money for a hoops coach.
$2mil would be top-25 in the nation, top-5 in the Pac-12.
$3mil is top-10 in the nation, big time/blue blood hoops kind of pay. Marshall is a total anomaly. The only reason he gets the money he does is because of the Koch family connection to Wichita State. -
What's Marshalls mission statement?
