Rahe's Reputations

[oldrunner]

As long as you are all throwing WAGs out there, might as well make it $2,000,000+.

I hear he gets another $1,000,000 if none of his players are in prison on July 2nd, and twice that if he mows Jerry's lawn. Also it's another $500K from the networks each time he gets interviewed on the sports programs.

Everybody knows it.

It might be more beneficial if RR stayed away from any type of media press. I couldve put this post on any topic, but this is another fitting quote by him. In regard to playing U. Denver. "Denver is a really good basketball that with a lot of veterans. They are a tough and physical team that can really score."

:wtf: :wtf: :wtf: They have exactly one senior, 3 juniors (one a redshirt junior) on the entire roster. What classifies a team as "veteran?'What kinds of preparations does RR actually do before a game? Does he do any research at all?? His quotes have to be the dumbest things in sports.

And then this gem:“The tournament in Alaska was really good for us. We saw some really good competition up there and saw some different styles of play,” Rahe said. “I thought our kids played really hard and we showed a lot of toughness.From that standpoint, I like where we are right now."

He cant possibly be talking about seeing a full-court press or zone defense can he? He likes where we are, in regards to toughness? Last I checked, we are 1-4 vs D1 schools... :doh:

This is the garbage that makes me so mad. Randy didn't used to be an excuse guy. Now it is all that we hear. He has called every team we have played a veteran team. We are as veteran team as anyone we have faced.

I found an image of Randy's contract extension over the Summer.

[n.ogdencat]

Thanks Fan for the contract update. Ugh!! I forgot about that extra stipulation; an extra 100K if he is still the coach July 1. Wow...almost 500K a year! And he got it for 8 years. He has an 8 year contract. Why does he really have to work or change? Where is his motivation to get better? He has an 8 year contract and all he needs to do is maintain the status quo.

Let me play devils advocate for a bit...I think the contract has some edges to it that, if I were an administrator makes some sense.

A. Evidently there are major donors that like Randy. If they didn't, they wouldn't be members of the Presidents Circle or whatever it is. They give a lot to the university, department and, evidently, the program. So, why make them mad. Keep the guy who does, after all, win what really matters and you keep the deep pocketed donors happy. We don't make much off of ticket sales, so we are indebted to our monied elite. The dismal marketing practices of athletics forces our AD to be controlled by Wildcat Sportfans Oligarchs. Imagine if we actually produced revenue (I'll broach on this thought later)??

B. Damian Lillard...Rahe is his guy. Rahe is his coach. He might mention Phil, but Rahe is his guy. If Randy leaves the university there is a chance that Damian leaves with him. Now, I'm not quite sure that would totally happen, because Dame has cemented his ties to Ogden (current number, song lyrics, statements, philanthropic activities/charitable trusts etc). However, our AD might recognize that if Randy stays for as long as he likes, that shows the university's faith in his guy. Perhaps, in the future, Damion will decide to make a sizable, and very generous donation, to the university. When all is said and done the guy will be worth around 400-500M. Yes, UVU is building a basketball practice arena which makes us look like SODS as catcat would say, but the one that Weber could get, with the help of Dame, other former players, Adidas, and other donors will make the one at UVU look like a giant pile. Already Dame has done things that no other team in the state, league, or our mid-major level can say they get because of Dame. YOU DON'T WANT TO HURT THIS CHERISHED RELATIONSHIP. Now, we have another NBA guy in Bolomboy and three high level overseas guys (Scotty B is playing in the highest level of Euro Ball and making good dough). Keep their coach happy. Don't shake the boat.

C. If Rahe leaves...The university has shown their good faith in Rahe, they have done all that they could to make him happy, but they have also done what they needed to, to have extra money available in the program to hire another coach and give him needed resources to grow his brand of basketball. They haven't shaken the boat and Randy left on his own terms which won't break the relationships developed with former players, donor, and Rahe supporters. In the meantime, they know that Randy will continue to do what he feels is most important, to win in the Big Sky. He will on occasion beat the in state guys (how about Utah beating MSU by 8 last night) and get a win or two over OOC competition. If he were to get an NCAA win that would be miraculous (he has to do it his way though...no cheap shots. Like fouling Gordon) and the occasional post-season tourny win. However, our home schedule will continue to disappointment. We will never see a good team till mid to late December and regrettably, our fans will continue to bitch and moan about results. I think Jerry can live with that, because he knows that the programs grow because of donations. Not necessarily because of fan support. I would want both personally, and I'd use the extra revenue to build a better student section, provide our high-level athletes with more, have better travel arrangements (charters, hotels, food), and most importantly to build a better home schedule which could help our RPI become healthier, but...Jerry is the Captain of his ship. He will keep his marketing guy too. Good thing there are a lot more basketball signs, in which the students don't understand their meaning, around campus.

Tal, It may have changed but when I was contacted about the keep Randy fund, it was a $10,000 per year commitment. I know that at least one maybe two of these donors have passed away recently. The commitment is probably written into their trusts. But one of my major concerns about this pay structure for Randy is that I am not sure how sustainable it is long term. It is like over extending yourself on your mortgage because your rich uncle has been helping you a little financially. You can sustain it for a little while but at some point the money from your uncle dries up and unless you take measures to make more yourself you are going to have a hard time. What is Weber doing to attract new donors, sponsors and etc... It certainly isn't through the rotting corpse that used to be the Wildcat Club.

I have said for years that we need to make a major gesture towards Dame to show him our deepest gratitude. If it was me I would name the court after him ASAP. I would do it now and then worry about what he was going to give back to the university later.

I just want to see Randy go back to the no excuses blue collar approach that took a team for worst to first. If he has some deficiencies on the coaching side, lets bring in an experienced assistant to help.

Are you simply pointing out the politics or advocating them?

Why should anybody be surprised when any coach speaks to the media, that they use the same old coach speak. That is just how it is and how it will stay for time and eternity. Coaches with loose mouths get fired, so live with it. You are never going to hear anything but the standard lines when good coaches talk to the media.

If a coach feels that he/she can trust the person they are talking to, you may hear the real deal. Otherwise, expect coach speak.

All of you getting mad about it are the problem, not the solution. I love all the armchair coaches we have on this forum. You are all undefeated for life. Legends in your own minds.

How many other coaches mention that they were beat by a veteran team after every single game? I hear coaches all the time take accountability and say that they need to be better. I don't want a loose mouth I just don't want to hear garbage excuses that aren't true. The excuses are new as of the last 3 or 4 seasons.

Olds, are you implying RR is a good coach? And are you implying that there should be predetermined post game quotes for a win or loss? Maybe Garside should look into this. He can just pull up his data bank and use any quite, since the quotes are always the same.

At the very moment I was reading this I heard Quin Snyder on the radio talking about their loss to Miami. He was saying things like "Miami outplayed us" and "by the time we woke up defensively it was too late". I didn't hear any excuses, even though the Jazz have half their roster injured. Also, I don't remember Jay Hill using excuses and acting satisfied after losses.

[Back2WSU]

Decent competition -there are only two game this year that Weber was out talented in and should have lost. And at least one of them could have been a victory with good coaching. Name me one game this year where Rahe has not been out coached. But I am not so sure its the losing that is being bitched about. I think it comes from people who are tired of seeing the same ole "bs" year after year with no hope of change.

So it's Rahe's fault that the kids miss so many freethrows including Baker who last year was the go to freethrow shooter? It's Rahe's fault that the kids turn the ball over 20 times?

How about the game against Davis? You know the one Weber won by almost 30?

And I'm calling B.S. On the whole "we don't complain because we lose" crap. Every time this team loses a game, even ones they aren't supposed to, certain individuals (like yourself) take the opportunity to belittle Rahe.

Hell I've even seen you post only the negatives after a win and not mention anything about the positives of the game.

Actually, yes everything that happens during a game, good or bad, is a direct reflection of Rahe. Its his players that are missing free throws and turning the ball over. Same as in life, at work, if things arent done on time and done the way the company wants things done, then my direct boss gets the blame. The leader gets the blame/praise for everything. Maybe its the way Rahe practices, and the plays we run that affect the poor shooting and turnovers. But you do realize everything falls on Rahe's shoulders win or lose?

Are you a relative of Rahe, WILDCAT?

A coach can preach, preach, preach and preach some more about the fundamentals in the game but in the end it falls on the players to be able to finish.

Holy Hells Bells is that the "Rahe haters" only real insult to resort to? That I'm either related to Rahe, work in the administration or am Rahe myself because I defend him?

Do you not see how simple minded and childish that argument sounds?

TROLL!

Right.... I am a troll because I disagree with the direction of the program, in particular Rahe. WILDCAT, you have basically proven a good majority of our opinions on here regarding Rahe. Thats the problem we have with him. He preached well, but when it comes down to it, he cant coach. Thats the difference between a coach and a recruiter. Rahe (preaches)=recruiter: Abegglen=coaches... Its those type of differences that we currently lack. Just admit it WILDCAT, you're okay with just winning "league."

No, you're a troll because you go out of your way to create stupid topics like this one even after discussing it in several other already created topics.

You are a troll because you don't congratulate the team when they do good things like winning the tournament in Florida or when they won the first ever real neutral Big Sky tournament. But are the first to post and create a whole new topic to boot when the team loses a game YOU don't believe they should.

You're a troll cause you sit on here and moan and bawl and complain about what our head coaches do or don't, what our administration does or does not do, you yell and scream for their heads yet what have you done to try to fix it? what have you contributed to help this team rise to the next level? Wine and cry on a fan forum? Yeah really productive.

In the end, You are a troll because you have not given me any reason at all to believe otherwise.

No, I want more than just to win the league, I want a better record against the instate schools, I want a better home schedule. Having said that I don't think firing Rahe would be the solve all solution to that. The most important thing Weber can do is get to the dance, and the only way you are going to do that in the Big Sky is by winning the league, something Rahe does. As much as I'd love to have bragging rights by being able to say we beat Utah State in a game no one outside of Logan or Ogden gives a flying feather about. I'd rather be able to say Weber won the Big Sky and is going dancing, something neither BYU or Utah State could say last year.

That is my stance on the subject. Rahe is not a perfect coach, but he wins FAR more than he loses and gets to the dance. I like that he wins the Big Sky tourney, I like how he and his staff develop young athletes, I like watching videos like this https://www.instagram.com/p/BCmbBQvhZaS/ and seeing the passion that he and the players have for the game and each other.

I don't care if you agree or don't. As my wise father once told me. "Not everyone agrees with you, but not everyone matters."

Man just imagine the uproar on this board if our record was currently 1-6 like Montana's, or ISU's, or even Sac's. Guess how many threads I have found on any of those fan boards wanting their Coaches fired? That would be ZERO. WSU is replacing an NBA quality big guy who did almost everything for Weber last year.
I can guarantee you this much, EVERY AD in the Big Sky would love to hire Rahe away from Weber. We have been damn fortunate to have him here this long.
This all reminds me of when fans wanted Neil McCarthy ran out of town because he was "stuck in his ways" etc... what a HUGE mistake that was.

I personally do not want to see Randy fired. I would have liked to see Jerry negotiate a little with Randy's extension. Make more of his salary incentive based and relieve him of the scheduling duties. A no post game excuses clause would have also been great.

I guarantee you that NOT ONE AD in the Big Sky besides Jerry would pay Randy $450,000 per year. Because schools in our league don't have budgets to do so. We don't have the budget to do it, but we hit up donors in the community. AJ and Wildcat, you guys should become one of the boosters that donate $10,000 a year to keep coach.

I don't remember Neil McCarthy being forced out. The only thing I remember is the facilities staff didn't like him smoking his cigars in the DEC.

If I had 10,000 to spend I just might

:thumb: Me too. But I wouldn't want any of my support to go athletic salaries. I would want to see it go to student athlete scholarships, facilities, or to a student fan association. But you are right 02, no other AD could afford to pay Randy what we pay him. I agree with an incentive based salary. However, I thought that is exactly what Jerry did with this new contract. Randy's base salary decreased some, but with the decrease in base there was an increase in bonuses? No totally sure. I will have to check the release again to double check. I think the base is 350K now with a chance at getting up to 415 with bonuses.

A huge problem is that 10 years ago the Weber State job was a higher profile job than it is now. Why is that? Is that totally Randy's fault or is it more athletics, the conferences, or the university? Can the blame be spread around more? Possibly...

Tal, RR makes $391k a year, according to Utah Right to Know. RR gets $100k every July 1st, if he's still the coach here. That doesn't include any bonuses or extras he is picking up. Regardless, he is closer to $500k than $350k.

http://www.utahsright.com/salaries.php?city=weber_sal&query=rahe

He makes by far the most on campus.

sidenote: sad that Beth Ord is making more than Jay Hill. Sad that the womens bball coach is making more than our FB coach. :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :yikes: :yikes: :yikes: :wtf: :wtf:

She's been there longer than Hill and just had her contract extended after last season

And after reading your post again, why exactly is it sad that Ord makes more than Hill?

At the very moment I was reading this I heard Quin Snyder on the radio talking about their loss to Miami.

Also, I don't remember Jay Hill using excuses and acting satisfied after losses.

Ya, not really seeing (or hearing) the same thing as Olds, not even remotely close. I did get a good smile out of this sanctimonious statement though:
