Coaching salaries

[clawman1]

I look at Best as the Chief Operating Officer of this team and it is his job to place managers (coordinators and coaches) around him to make the team successful. If he is not able to be competitive with salaries he will not be competitive on the field.
Given that Eastern has lost two good coaches of women's sports recently I have to wonder if the problem isn't with the administration not funding athletics.
Where would it be available what coaching salaries are? I'm curious how what Eastern pays and how the Big Sky compares with other conferences.

Eastern Washington Shantay Legans (3rd) $130,000 Wendy Schuller (19th) $110,000
Idaho Zac Claus (1st) $130,000 Jon Newlee (12th) $96,179.20
Idaho State Ryan Looney (1st) $115,000 Seton Sobolewski (12th) $110,011.20
Montana Travis DeCuire (6th) $180,000 Mike Petrino (Zero, interim) $80,000
Northern Arizona Shane Burcar (1st) $198,000 Loree Payne (3rd) $145,000
Northern Colorado Steve Smiley (Zero) $156,938 Jennifer Huth (2nd) $132,967
Portland State Barret Peery (3rd) $170,004 Lynn Kennedy (5th) $120,000

Weber State Randy Rahe (14th) $192,594 Velaida Harris (2nd) $115,000

Think they pay head coach salary same for head football head basketball men and womens head basketball the same base to start with

you can bet new basketball coaches arent getting what Legans and Schuler were or our soccer replacement coach and short one coach for soccer...it's depressing lack of support


this was 6/20 not gonna dig around for current cause this is a sample comparison in basketball...no surprise if you look at other sports we are on the low end and even short coaches for sports

*Head Football Coach
Sam Houston State University $383,333.41 plus supplemental perks including car bout 400k for Keeler....bet Best under 200k

What size is the pool of money for the head coach to hire assts. Management of the entire staff is as important as any HC position

Ding, ding... here's the winning comment.

I think there is a growing frustration within the athletic department that all programs are on a shoestring budget. Coaches all took a haircut last year and, even in a time of mass inflation, aren't getting made whole again. The AD sold out the football team to road games at Oregon and Florida next season. While that helps the bottom line, it weakens the program by putting us in a situation where we need to darn near run the table to make the playoffs. That's myopic thinking, taking money in place of competitive success.

Our coaches outperform just about any other school in our situation. Arevalo understood the importance of building on the institutional side and how athletics was a piece of that puzzle. The next President simply didn't, and to top it off, totally disregarded recruitment of actual students as a first priority. When enrollment is a longs way off the highs of a few years ago, the revenue is going to be a problem. I think the Interim Pres gets it, but he was dealt a horrible hand--- taking over a sinking ship.

As for Hickey, I'm not sure where she fits. Her schedules are as bad as Chaves', it doesn't seem like she's great at managing the coaches, and she hasn't found any innovative ways to improve budgets or facilities. I'd have to think she's feeling some heat at the moment. Firing the soccer coach and replacing him with someone who inherited the same roster and got much worse results speaks to her expertise, or lack thereof. This isn't a beauty contest, it's about building successful programs.

When you look at Montana and Montana State, you see two programs that are willing to do whatever is required to win games. That means facilities and budgets. Eastern just never seems ambitious. I know our coaches want to win, but Shantay said it best during his exit interview... it feels like the university wants success but doesn't know how to make a program successful. And they don't have any kind of clear path forward.

The big difference between the Montana schools is $$ in different ways. MSU is a STEM school that kicks out high income alums such as one relatives who has an Engineering degree. EWU is years away from competing with schools like MSU for incoming engineering students.

Montana is a different story being the Oregon of Big Sky. They have deep-pocketed donors including their stadium that was bank rolled by Dennis Washington who was the CEO at Washington Group before it was acquired.

Having said that over the past 10-15 years EWU has had the better of the Montana schools despite the revenue/donation gap.

I still believe it was a huge gaffe by AB not to have a spec teams coach. You lost a reg reason game (Weber) and a playoff game because of spec teams.
