Vollyball coach of our nationally ranked team. Track coach who just won the A10 title. The other coaches at Mason doing well.

And what is the market salary for VB and T&F coaches?
Those guys are earning profit so they are good. The guy breaking even though needs to be changed in my book.

If you didn’t buy the 2 year season bit last year, this isn’t that hard to handle.
We were not one season away from competing for an at-large bid. It was never a 2 year season, the seasons were always individual and some of you just bit too hard on DPs sales pitch. He’s done a lot to reverse the program, he’s not going anywhere. Do some of you need to get off his nuts? Absolutely, but the patient approach remains.
God, what have I become?!

I'm glad that those 2 programs are successful and congratulate the coaches for a job well done. But neither of those sports are revenue-producing.
Take a look at a list of volleyball coaching salaries at Div 1 schools:

Volleyball should take over eagle bank for games since they are selling out the RAC. It'll generate money then. Put the basketball games in the RAC and switch the coaches salaries.

After that embarrassing loss I understand why more fans are jumping on the fire Paulsen bandwagon. I know he won’t be fired after this season, I’m not even sure if he should be. He has earned some extra time for taking over a dumpster fire and bringing it to mediocrity. I do know if I don’t see a remarkably better product on the floor next season he needs to go. I am hoping Brad is in the same boat. Mason is too big a school to settle for middle of the pack and that should be the expectation in every sport.
Look, we shouldn't fire Paulsen this year. But you better bet your a** he should FEEL some fire. And fast. And into next season. This loser fan base needs to speak up and get the obvious points across.
Maybe someone can make a Cheer guide type list for the fanbase and issue it to Lil Dave. Maybe he needs to see it from another prospective.

Mason may be a big school, but we have never, ever “thought big” when it comes to athletics.
vcu committed a long time ago to being excellent at basketball. They make no bones about it — they are all in. Whatever it takes.
It’s the difference between a university that builds a $25 million practice facility and one that finds loose change in the couch cushions to renovate an existing building.
Also the difference between a program that offers a $1.3 million starting salary to get the coach they want and one that is content to continue shopping in the bargain bin.
What happened last night is on the players and coaches, but it’s also on the university and the donor base. Until Mason stops trying to “do more with less” and commits to funding the men’s basketball program the way it should be, I’m not sure why anyone thinks we are entitled to be better than a mid-pack A-10 team.
Funny! It's been done!!
I personally handed a Cheer Guide to Aaron Kelly following his pregame chat with the fans in the Gold Room at the Duquesne game. I told him that every student was getting one on their seat and that this is what the fans are resorting to in support of our team.

Once we Lose to GW on Saturday and fall to 7th, we will have lost 6 of 8 games against the teams in front of us. I think Paulsen bring great energy as a coach, but this 4 guard style just does not work in A10 play. When we double the post because paulsen hasn't ever gone big with his lineup, the top 1/2 of the league usually has one or two good bigs that can dominate the mismatch...then when we double the post we leave someone open. The games that we have won for the most part was because the opposing team shot poorly or we got lucky.
I thank paulsen for getting us out of the dumpster, but he will never recruit good enough to be a top 4 a10 team. vcu exposed the inefficiencies we have, just something to consider...St. Bonnies who lost their entire starting backcourt from last year will seed higher than a team that brought their entire starting backcourt back.

I think Dave knows. Coaches have to make a concerted effort to keep that kind of stuff AWAY from their players and their program. It's distracting, counter-productive, and potentially damaging to player confidence. Sports psychology is a tricky business.

Not a particularly impressive track record for Mason hires.
Still love my team, though.
