(Official) Mrs. Russell Turner Thread

[Walter]

I just got someone out of bed.

It was the wife, and the fact we only offered, apparently, $375k base, but heavy on incentives.

JFC WE ARE CHEAP.

If that is true, then I am embarrassed. I expected at least $450k - $500k.

 

[Walter]

I blame El Presidente

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Amazing you people can glean prospective contract info on a Sunday night.

I'm just glad Edwards has kept the major donors informed over the weekend.

 

[Cool Disco Dan]

Honestly, I am not buying the wife story. Something else turned him off.

The only people talking about the wife are Boom Boom and KA...

We did not offer this little.

 

[Herndon]

Well, I liked the potential hire, but he decided to stay. Wonder who the next guy on the list is (as this guy kind of came out of left field, for me)

 

[99 Patriot]

This is sort of entertaining, but mostly painful. I checked these boards from a funeral on Friday. May need to step away for a while.

 

[KAOriginal]

No, we offered $375k.

I think the wife was just his cover to say No if he was unimpressed.

We are just a footnote to NCAA history....

How do we offer 375 K when we paid Hewitt almost twice that and he was an epic failure?

 

[gmutom]

Maybe because we are still paying him next year. Not a good situation at all.

 

[Walter]

$375k is an offer for a hot young assistant, not a proven HC. smh

 

[Cool Disco Dan]

If we did in fact get turned down - just as Fordham did with Toole - it makes me question Parker's value. You've successfully located people (Prohm, Turner, Toole) who've used the process to negotiate a raise...and it's all been very public. Not impressed.

Ask TOC. May have to do with eating year 5.

Yeah...I've said its a scam.

Parker is apparently a coach's friend if you don't have Hewitts agent.

If this works out as it looks, I appreciate you guys. I messed with shaggy Bevo, Texas board last year during baseball post season, and they were hostile. You guys are up right dudes. All the best

Well likewise - however, we are hearing word that the article might be premature. However, it depends on how true the comments related to wife are.

 

[PoorManProfit]

Not sure who or what to belive at this point. I am not surprised by us going cheap. Just as GT is hampered by the Hewitt
factor I expected us to be as well but
$375k is Big South level not A10.
Any coaches doing well in the SWAC
because we may not be able to
poach MEAC coaches.

I recommended both Mike Davis and Todd Bozeman yesterday.

Its confusing. And seems almost shady. Jeff Pillow tweets his wife accepted or will accept a new position At Ucla hospital.

If true, why give Mason a verbal today? Same day your wife's new gig becomes public? Her offer just out of the blue?

Smacks of the Amaker situation.

I just think in today's landscape it's going to be harder and harder to poach head coaches. I mean, even look at who the BCS schools are hiring right now:

Mississippi State: Howland -- out of a job
DePaul: Leitao -- former head coach, was assistant at Tulsa in 2014-2015
St Johns: Mullin (reportedly) no college experience

The smart play is almost to target rising assistants -- Boals, Jordan, Fife, Williford.
