Re: The Departed

Thanks for doing this. I wish Ashworth well. Hard to blame him taking that much money to play for a team in a great conference that can make deep tourney runs that fits his style of play.

Re: Developmental program?

I have always understood that to mean that programs like ours don't always get the blue-chip, ready-for-action recruits that bigger, richer programs get. So we bring in solid recruits and develop them physically and mentally to compete in D1 football. I think this is exactly right. We aren't going ...

I mean I’d want to stay at a job when making $200k+ as a number 2. Not sure on that number but fairly positive.

The bigger question is does a new AD want to keep him? I’d imagine most want to hire their own right hand man or woman.
It’s a bit more than that. Closer to $235,000.
