*FIU will probably offer in the $250,000 range
I forget which thread it was, but someone made this point a few weeks ago and asked for examples of mid-major type programs that are successful in both sports. Without going back to see the full list I posted, I know I mentioned a few examples such as MTSU, San Diego St., Southern Miss, Western Kentucky, and Boise St.WVAPPeer wrote:Personally I just think it's a little "apples to oranges" to compare what APP might/could do in basketball to what VCU, Creighton, Wichita State have done --- as mentioned earlier by caa - these schools are driven by basketball (and in some case don't even have football) as APP is driven by football - that's not to say a school can't be good in both, just different ---
Had a friend coaching at FIU, she left saying it was very expensive to live in that area. He may not like the pace of life in that area either.ASUMountaineer wrote:IIRC, we were paying Buzz close to that.

Of all the factors Rhoades might consider in such a hypothetical decision, I doubt real estate costs will be near the top of the list. I doubt he'd view either as a place he'll be staying more than a few years.ASUPATCH wrote:huskie3 wrote:Had a friend coaching at FIU, she left saying it was very expensive to live in that area.

Having lived in both south FL and Boone I can say without question the Boone real estate market is far more expensive for a comparable home. So if he is scared of FIU housing costs he really won't like the high country.

I think Cobb might be floating the idea that Matt would turn down the job to cover himself for not going after McMahon. I know he would be interested in the job if he was a candidate.spong wrote:based off the rumor mill (which we know is always right) here is where we are right now:
App State has no interest in Matt McMahon and if offered the job he would probably turn it down.
Bobby Lutz, the former coach of UNCC and current assistant at NC State, is our top candidate.
MIke Rhoades, current assistant at VCU and former successful head coach at the D3 level, is a close secondary candidate.
Derrick Clark, the coach at Metro State (D2), is a fall-back candidate.
Based off of comparable it looks App is looking to spend between $200,000 and $300,000 on a coach.
Bobby Lutz is making around $225,000 right now at NC State. He seems to be happy and is winning games. If he really wants to be a head coach again his name is also coming up for the UNCW job.
Mike Rhoades' name has come up for the FIU job. Based off comparable they are looking to pay him around $250,000.
Both of these coaches will probably have their names on several coaching lists for other school in coming days.
As of now Derrick Clark's name has not appeared on any other lists and it is unexpected for it to since few D1 schools look to D2 schools for coaches.
Clark is who we want. This school has produced D1 coaches and NBA (Mike Dunlap).spong wrote:based off the rumor mill (which we know is always right) here is where we are right now:

Personally, I think Rhoades is the best candidate. I don't think CC should be "gun shy" about hiring him as his stock is clearly rising. IMO, that could be an even "safer" pick than Lutz. I don't know, I won't be "raving mad" if Lutz is the guy, but I'm hoping for a late push for Rhoades.moehler wrote:its important that App hires someone who will immediately excite the alumi, students, and the Boone community, Lutz. isn't that guy, hiring him will be perceived as a very safe pick, someone who will do a nice job, but isn't going to take program to the next level, probably a 500 program. Im also concerned he didn't recruit well, the last 4 years at UNCC the talent dropped significantly, just wasn't getting the recruits. I hope Charlie doesn't let the Capels hire influence him to the point where he is "gun shy" about hiring the best coach possible, and just wants to bring in a safe experienced coach.
