Houston at Tech

[Shark84]

Watching this game and seeing the student turn out. Grant made the right decision. He had to beg our students to come to the Pit.

True but who wouldn't want to coach in that environment and with that budget.

So, you think it was just the money? That is part of it but the support of the program both financially and physically was just as big. He could have probably gotten more money somewhere else but his ties to TT and knowledge of the program were a big part of his decision. He can probably stay at Tech for the rest of his coaching career if he wants.

Take notes, that's what a Top 10 match up looks like.

I think money had a lot to do with his decision.

There is no reason we shouldn't have that type of turnout, none.

If UNT had matched Tech's money offer, you think Grant would have stayed? I don't think so. He wanted to be at a power 4 school.

I have to agree with you.

[BigWillie]

And look at what he has been able to recruit due to facilities and fan support! Their team is stacked with offense. I follow every game. It's crazy.

Lol.  It’s always about the 💵.

If another school offers an extra $mil a year,  he’s gone.

It'd be about the money if he left for somewhere else (sans Baylor), but I think the chance to compete in a power league was as big a reason as the cash for leaving NT. Most coaches dream about competing at the highest level with full gyms.
