Interesting if true. Cal is overpaid for the results.

Muss is #7 so where would he go?

[buff2.0]

I think he's worth the $5.5 million salaries, considering how fast he pulled us out of the darkness and how high he's elevated us.  I can't see him going to any of the schools currently paying more than us, unless Kentucky is willing to pay $9 mil.

UCLA ain't getting rid of Cronin.  Texas could always come in with $5 mil for a new coach but the interim they have now is doing a great job for less.

Pay him 5.6 million, make him highest paid behind Cal.

It wouldn't be for the money, but a lot of coaches would do just about anything for a shot at a job at one of the "traditional" basketball schools like Kentucky, Kansas, UCLA, Duke, ect.  As much as Stoops would probably like to argue, basketball is still king on those campuses.

My understanding is Cal has started easing into getting transfers to get more veteran leadership on the roster. This season I think Wheeler was going to be the point guard coming over from Georgia and I guess he got hurt or wasn't a big factor. I'd bet Cal would give his left nut for that point guard that owned them the other day. The one that came from Little Rock to K-State. I didn't notice Wheeler doing anything the other day but wasn't paying much attention. Cal's undoing has been the freshman thing not coming together. About the time you give up on that he puts something together for a big run. I think mainly people just don't understand how random and difficult it is to crank out teams that win in March. It took Duke 20+ years to really solidify itself as that type of program and he went on to crank out consistency over another 20 years. That was only really matched by UNC and historically UCLA is good for a ring now and then. You take into account all the rule changes over the years and Muss is really the perfect hire at the right moment for Arkansas. We needed a coach that brings an NBA style and approach to preparing for these relaxed rules and so forth. It doesn't always translate during the regular season but whatever he's doing sure seems to be working in the postseason. I'm hopeful that only gets better to a point of winning national championships. Obviously if he had the team he put together this season I think everyone as we sit right now would be really confident that was gonna happen. As it is we are have a good chance at another Elite 8 possibly a rematch with Gonzaga.

tell me why Muss should NOT be the highest paid coach/employee on the UA campus. He has earned that right.

Should he make more than DVH?

[Thin Red Swine]

Should he make more than DVH?

Absolutely.  Revenue generation still has to count for something.  And now the success is coming with it.

Muss will get proactively bumped to around 6 mil after this year especially if you pulls off another win Thursday.

If he goes back to back to back Elite 8s, you can bet Kentucky is going to make a strong ass offer.

[DRYANKNPULL]

I'm sure they would. I think there are very compelling reasons not to entertain it.

[Texzilla]

Muss should get another nice bump especially if we move deeper.  He's worth whatever we have to pay to keep him in place.  Great coach great recruiter great shining light for the school.

Like he thinks anyone cares what he thinks...

But I do agree they are trying to screw Mike.

We would lose money NOT to pay him as such because of those exact reasons.
