The salary pool for the assistant coaches was going up to $3.4 million under the old contracts. Justin Burke was making $100,000.00. Mattox was scheduled to make $300,000 in 2019. Blue Adams made $225,000 in 2018. Cogdell made $140,000 in 2018 JB could very well be the call which I am sure many of us are mentally prepared for. But CCS has more money to offer other professionals. So as was mentioned on another thread, Valdosta State Head Coach Kerwin Bell currently makes $250,000.00. So he would likely make more coming to USF as a OC. Time for USF to pay up for coaches and facilities. Look to successful teams of AAC and take a lesson. There is no reason that USF cant be an academic and an athletic powerhouse. It's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sums up USF in a nutshell! Always doing the conservative..... Sometimes you have to throw charts, feasibility studies, data points etc out the window and be willing to bet on yourself! You have to be willing to say at some point that “ I know we have a product that America would love to consume, we are a top tier university that strives to be the best that we can be in the classroom and on the field and I am willing invest in our product however risky it may be”. Houston was willing to do it and don’t give me that tired line about being broke USF is far from broke and about deep pocket donors didn’t Vinik go to bat for USF in the pitch to join the Big 12? Go tap into those pockets if need be. Edited December 31, 2018 by HPbull Correct a word 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a pot full of gold buried under the Yuengling Center (just Indian bones). Our athletic budget is somewhere around $40 million. You have to pay coaches, pay for travel, etc., etc. Pretty sure if there was $35 million sitting in a savings account somewhere that the IPF would be under way.
