The Houston Chronicle reports his new salary at 1.25million. So is he taking 200k less to coach at that [ Finebaum ] hole of a school. Something is not adding up for sure. Did he hate the administration that much

Look at the word “salary” and understand that he’s now at a public school.

These aren't made for wilderness trips.
The material is way too thin and just two extra pockets in front. Made by Reebok. I like them because I can put my glasses case in the front pocket.

Was talking to three Rice Alumni at Saturday's elimination game and they said the reason Berkman was out was his stand on this issue.
Doesn't go over well at woke liberal Rice.
They also said Rice wants to put up a statue of Wayne Graham but has told them no. Graham doesn't like the way he left Rice and the fact that he wasn't allowed to handpick his successor.
Rice hosed up that whole deal not hiring LB. It would have been a home run from a recruiting standpoint. Agree that the Cruz family is good people but so is Berkman. Hope both do well.

Assuming that is base - his base here wasn’t that high
but he got bonuses for lots of things like conference champion, tournament champion, regionals, super regionals, CWS, grad rates, team gpa, etc so he always made more than his base

Then why did TCU offer JS an extension to 2028 that would have made him one of the highest paid coaches in the country?
Talking out of your butt again I see.

The contract will come out soon and we’ll know. Texas publics don’t/can’t hide comp, so I’m not sure I get your comment.
I fully suspect we will be underwhelmed by the salary figure. He didn’t leave for $. This is like the Chris Beard to UT deal: Tech offered Beard more money and more years. Didn’t matter—he wanted the shiny new job.

As Fly mentioned above...salary is not total compensation. And I agree, this wasn’t about money.

Was I supposed to type something here?
Side-deals with shoe companies and the like are not matters of public record, IIRC. Those deals are far more lucrative at a larger program.

I didn’t pull up the Chronicle piece, but even if A&M slices up base salary and rights fees, most sports reporters know to add the two (salary would be 1/4 to 1/5 of the reported 1.25, which tells me they already added the two or it was reported to them combined, as is typical).

This isn’t a thing.

Stopped reading at “most sports reporters know”. But again...even if it’s total comp with risk compensation and everything included, it’s a powerful amount of money and this was never about the money.

It was about more time to play golf after losing to TCU in the post season!

Looks like Florida has found their coach. I only know a couple of true FL baseball fans and both are apoplectic (and have been for about 5 days)

As for shoe deals and other incentives most of those have gone away for individual coaches. Those deals tend to be department wide now. It does create problems when your main apparel and shoe company isn't able to provide a line all sports a school sponsors.

what do you think about the rumors swirling around o Sullivan and the connection to Paul Reinhart??

I've gone out of my way to not form an opinion on that. I have no idea other than it's a horrific event for that family and community.
