Raise and extension??

I feel like Mac should be getting  1-1.2m depending on how the rest of the season plays out.

Agreed. Along with a healthy bump in his assistant coach salary pool and assurances that when the AC expansion project is complete that the new basketball area a is the next capital project for Athletics.

Twice now you've replied to the same post from him.  I'd like to give them a chance to explain before I ping his notifications again.

Easy to spend someone's else's money.

Baker is paid well to make those decisions.

If it was my decision, I would keep McCasland's salary at the top of CUSA basketball coaches.

Paying more than that IMO is not going to accomplish much.  I am confident that Mc has been offered more money and bigger conference gigs.   He must like it here, or he would be gone.

I think more than salary, bigger home crowds is a more important factor in keeping him happy at NT.

Well we'll sure have to be in the five year $10 to $20 mil range I would think to be anywhere close to being in the top 25 paid basketball coaches.  Because he certainly is in the top 25 basketball coaches in the nation.

Damn you are right. Even I get caught up in #olddenton thinking.

I also think bigger crowds would go a long way toward keeping Grant.  He also needs to be the highest paid HC in CUSA and toward the high end of AAC coaches.  At least until we dominate the AAC as well.

Is he at the top of CUSA already? I couldn't find any recent info on salaries. 

 

I disagree if you are saying he doesn't deserve a bump. He has performed stellarly, and that deserves recognition. It shows that his efforts are noted and recognized. It also sends a clear message that he has the full support of the Athletic Dept. and UNT behind him, and IMO that message is the most important thing.

Give the man eleventy billion dollars already!!!!!!!!!!

Can we make Grant McCasland President of UNT and Head Basketball Coach?  Dual jobs.  More money.  (Sorry Dr. Smatresk)

How much is Mac worth to North Texas?

When North Texas starts ending the basketball seasons ahead of perennial powers like North Carolina and Indiana, we'll need to pay him at that market value, or even higher because his challenge was much greater. He's that good.

How can you say this when you know he deserves at least as much as Littrell is getting?? Shame on you we expect better from you @GrandGreen
