How about that Ken Ericksen? I love him, but his playing field is infinitely more level than CWT's, competitively speaking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about that Ken Ericksen? I don't think Oregon will offer him $6mil/year to coach softball. If they did, he would be gone in a nanosecond. A person with a family needs to consider their family as well, and that kind of money can do a lot of good for your personal family as well as other important causes if you want to donate later in life. To be loyal to a school and give up the kind of life changing money just isn't an option for most people not already obscenely rich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good gig, with more pros than cons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd fire all of you except Bull Dozer. This debate reminds me of USF alumni wondering why the Bulls Club seems to have a hard time hiring USF graduates to do the job - let it be passion over paycheck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose may possibly be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youre kidding yourself. Do you know how hard Ken worked to stay competitive when everyone had a stadium but USF? Do you know that he stayed at USF for a long time with no contract at all, meaning if whoever the AD was at the time wanted to fire him, he could, no guarantees at all? If you think that school money and prestige doesn't impact the olympic sports, you're insane. The SEC is now the cream of the crop in softball where UF didn't even field a team until I think 97ish.

I'm hurt by this, but I guess if you don't value objectivity, you really would have no use for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think more is at play here then we may think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
