Alright Moseley, Prove Your Salt

[UNTLifer]

Make Hodge an offer he can't refuse.  Now is the time.  Show us  you are serious

[Udomann]

Best he can do is a fajita lunch and 2% annual merit

[untphd]

Although I tend to agree with you, actions and nonactions taking place this week on top of all of last years, that may have to be a pretty powerful offer. Like Marlon Brando made.

How much do you think we would have to pay him to keep him?  My guess is it's more than what we pay our football coach.

Our football coach makes 800k, last I looked. It needs to be more than our football coach. What has our football coach done?

Well you know that is not happening here.  But I suspect if Hodge is hired away, it will be far more than 1 million a season.

Yeah... dude is overpaid as far as I'm concerned. 

[Big Z]

If anybody from the ticket office calls me, I'm going to reply "Nope sorry, I spent it all on Fajitas"

100%. We need more money. But, and also, we need more money for NIL. 

[TheColonyEagle]

Pay Hodge more money. Orrrrr let him go and then hire a new coach. And pay him even less than Hodge was making. Maybe just promote from within to make it easy. Stay under budget? Check

pat on the back from the administration. Maybe even get a little bump yourself? 
 

heck yeah. Go mean green 

[NorthTexasWeLove]

The lack of offensive "stuff" shows during these times. West Virginia, paying attention?

[NorthTexasWeLove]

And the shooter delays his free throws on purpose... did it earlier..

And rewarded for it.

Worked in front of more than 5k people.

Yes I agree Hodge deserves a better deal, and perhaps UNT will give him one.  However, he has not had a Q1 win yet, the offense does not really stand out, yes the defensive system is very good, and he did well in the portal, but they have also been very lucky too.

According to last year's financial reports, salaries, benefits and bonuses paid by the University for:

Football head coach - $1,390,779

Basketball head coach - $847,747

Utah State just locked their basketball coach up at 1.8.

If he wins the NIT, he has proven his salt.

That certainly would be a worthy achievement, however they have not had to play any good teams yet.

Pretty bad take. Furman and AState are good teams that both made their conference tournament final. OkSt is a school that will recruit better than us, on paper. 

If I'm a WVU guy my concern with hiring Ross is his lack of offensive stuff. In high leverage moments we go dry OR we hit off the dribble deep shots late in the clock, which is not attributed to Ross' acumen. That's my concern with him. That's my concern with him if he remains our coach.

Truth is that this could be a steal for WVU to get Hodge now.  One more season, with opportunities to prove himself even more, and he might get caught up in a bidding war with bigger schools/budgets wanting his services.

Seems like he's already a great coach, and getting him in this cycle could be great for Mountaineers.
