Why can't usf get top assistamt coaches ?

[IncrediBULL]

First Coach leavitt and now Coach Holtz don't get the top assistant coachs.  Wonder why ?  LSU,UF,Auburn & Tenn have over 2.6 mil for base salarys for their assistant coaching staff.

Anyone like to guess or knows how much we paid our assistant coachs for the last four years ?

Simple answer, economics.

If you would pony up an extra $1M and designate it only for USF assistant coaches, we could get some top guys.  Problem is no one will do that.

As we just reduced the head coaches salary by switching from CJL to CSH, we opened up the assistant salary pool a bit and should hopefully have some upgrades.  But we cannot have caviar on a bologna budget, it doesn't work that way. 

More butts in seats and More donors -  equals more $$, and means we can improve our coaching staff.

This is the Tampa Bay area you're talking about. Home of a million excuses. We don't donate because we the Bulls don't have a OCS and play in the Glazers studium. Or they're not winning enough. I hate the color of the helmits.

you compare us to 4 of the top revenue generating programs?

why does the US spend more per pupil on secondary education than Greece?

No I just picked four out of the SEC I noticed in an article.  I am sure the PAC-10 and the Big-12 especially Texas have huge revenue bases compared to us.  We are not even close to the Big-10.

'cause you don't donate enough money!

LOL I would if I had it.  Trust me - USF would be very happy if I hit the Power Ball lotto.

Thanks for the info we already knew!  :

Ok - but what have our pools been for the last four years ?

Step up to the plate, stop being cheap and give some money.  USF Foundation

Hey I made the Presidents council two years in row.  Not this year - business is tough right now.

2 words: "alumni base".

Our school is not even 60years old. You are comparing us to schools that have been around since the 1800s. We might have a pretty large graduating class on a yearly basis, but come on we can not compare to schools that have been around for that long.

We just do not have the same number of alumni as schools like UF, LSU and Bama. The more alumni, the more donations, the more donations the bigger the athletics budget, the bigger the athletic budget, the bigger the salary pool for coaches.

You also have to remember that MOST of the USF alumni base could care less about football.

The football Alumni base is maybe 15 yrs old. I say that because the talk started before the team did and those folks were instrumental in getting it kick started.
