If the time comes

First, I truly hope Seth turned it around. However, if in the near future we do make a change you can't tell me we will not get a lot of interest. 

Will UNT pay the next HC similar to Seth or will they spread the money out and hire strong coordinators?

 

Marshall: New Herd head coach Charles Huff signed a 4-year deal worth $755,000 per year. Former Marshall head coach Doc Holliday was set to earn $762,000 pre-pandemic in 2020. Huff earned $550,000 this year at Alabama.

I believe we will always go after a OC, DC or a head coach. Money will not be an issue. Huff may be successful but he has always been a position coach, we are past that level.

Littrell was the highest paid head coach in CUSA last year and Bowen was the highest paid assistant. We didn’t have an OC, but we could’ve taken away $300K from Littrell and given it to an OC and Littrell still would’ve been the highest paid HC while having the highest paid OC and DC in the conference as well. We have plenty of money to go around where it isn’t going to the HC at the expense of the assistant pool or vice versa.

Bowen was the hugest paid assistant?? Holy crap that is awful, but why are we paying these guys so much when the results are just average?

Get ready, I’m sure Bennet will be higher maybe 500k range and would not be surprised if it is a 2 year guarantee. Money is not the issue. GMG

Yes he was. At UNT we tend to freak out when someone does well and treat them like the only coach capable of winning here. We gave a Mccarney a big raise after HOD, which you could argue he earned, but at the same time no one was coming to poach him from us. And even if they were, so what? Same with Littrell possibly leaving. We’d have a ton of good candidates coming off of a 9-win season and a coach showing this can be a stepping stone job. 

As for why we paid Bowen so much for bad results, the hope was he’d be better but as JayD says, we could’ve landed a much better candidate for what he was paid.
