He will most certainly get a higher job if he can elevate us (and a selling point would be the two grad transfers he could take with him) but Penn State is a no-win situation. I see him more of an AAC coach next like a Bonnie. I wouldn't worry as much either because if he left, I believe Lamar Thornton has shown the recruiting chops. Most recruits mention him when they have their visits.

In addition, which sports program is going to be in better shape financially once the smoke of the COVID crisis clears?

He's a heck of a lot more likely to get fired at Penn State than he is Ohio. There are very few worse Power Conference jobs than State College. Ed DeChellis, a Penn State alum, left Penn State to coach the Naval Academy following the season he took the Nittany Lions to NCAA Tournament.

This may just be the speculation of one media person, anyway.

It might be a blessing. Then we can pay the next coach something more realistic given out financial reality. 250-300k tops.

You can keep pounding that drum all you want, but it's unlikely to happen unless the entire college sports landscape changes to reduce coaching salaries.

Maybe you haven't been paying attention, but higher ed and Ohio University are in somewhat of a financial mess with an uncertain future. We don't make money on athletics and we'll have to deal with that soon enough. Maybe you or some other boosters are picking up the tab.

We don't make money directly from athletics but we do derive considerable revenue because we have athletics. It's part of the selling point of the University as a whole. You try to make it a simple equation and it just isn't. One of the reasons Ohio got my money way back when is because they did have competitive sports programs. That being said it wouldn't bother me one bit it we de-emphasized athletics. I think we are being pushed aside by the big boys anyway. As long as we are competing in a conference with like-minded schools, no matter what the level I'm going to be watching.

When people talk about it they do it in black and white terms. Money or no money, police or no police. What rational people are talking about is somewhere between the extremes which I would like to see. And like you, I'll be watching us play in the league/level we end up in.

I have been paying attention, and to the extent of the financial mess, I agree. I'm simply saying that until something changes, banging the drum of paying the coaching position HALF of what it has made for 3-4 years isn't reality. The reason I use this tone is that you've been banging said drum for a few years. We don't get to decide what the coach gets paid...well, I don't anyway. I just buy tickets and donate a little to the OBC. My contributions pay for one night at the OU Inn for the coaching staff. ;) Back to Top giacomo General User Member Since: 11/20/2007 Post Count: 2,688 Status: Offline     RE: Possible Penn State Basketball Coaching Candidates To Replace Pat Chambers    Posted: 11/19/2020 3:52:14 PM  The reason we are paying so much for our coach is that there is some belief that if we just get the right guy, he can elevate us to the next level. I think most of us know by now that is not true. It takes a lot more money, a higher level of scheduling and even switching conferences. That's is why I've been an advocate for paying our coach dean level money, which I think is fair considering we don't make money on the program. If some boosters want to increase that out of their pocket, God bless them. Maybe that is happening now unbeknownst to me.
