Quite frankly, if these coaches don't like the current landscape, they can always drop down to one of the lower levels. They've benefited from the chase for $'s as much as anyone, but now players can negotiate and they're having to adjust or move on. This is why I think schools will be wise to start hiring the some of these former NFL/NBA guys as CEO Head coaches. They'll be used to the negotiations and what-not. That will benefit schools in the long run. I just don't see the model going backwards anytime soon.
Yeah but the players don’t have to build a team and get them to play together. Players have to execute, but coaches have infinitely more responsibility and should get paid. Just as athletes should get paid. I fault neither of them - biatch on. I know us fans are.

At least for Larranaga it wasn't just the payday otherwise he would have left a few years earlier. Hell even Providence from the Big East apparently offered him their job and Larranaga turned them down (that's his alma mater!). When he didn't accept that job I was sure he was never leaving Mason and it was sot of a shock when he did.
I know, just wish Coaches would quit with the blaming of players trying to go get $$ when they would do the same thing in a heartbeat for a bigger payday.
