USC hires UW's Sarkisian

[EWURanger]

Funny how Baldwins name is bantered about from Miami-Ohio's message board as a potential replacement...

This makes a little more sense. It's hard to imagine Baldwin going to some place like Miami of Ohio. His entire recruiting base is in the Pacific Northwest and California, not to mention the personal aspect of uprooting his family to go rebuild a program 3k miles away.

And to be honest, why would he want to leave EWU right now when every aspect of the program is getting better every year? He has the best team in the FCS on the entire west coast and the potential to build a dynasty here. I know money always talks, but if money was the only thing wouldn't he be gone by now? Besides, Baldwin made roughly $139k in 2012 (public records). That's not exactly chump change for the Spokane area.

This program has a ton of momentum right now and a huge upside. My personal opinion is that he, along with the President and AD, have MUCH bigger plans for EWU athletics, and EWU football in particular that will hopefully play out in the next 5-10 years.

Man I hope there are a lot of built in bonuses with that 139K. If I remember correctly there are. I hope that is also pre tax money as well. He deserves more.

I agree, but it still makes him one of the highest paid employees in the University. More concerning is the Assistant Coaches salaries to me. If we could continue this upward trend in momentum for the program, it'd be great to see all those folks get better pay. But such is the life in the FCS. There aren't a ton of coaches at this level making a ton more money than what our guys make.

Another reason Beau won't get the UW job is they're not gonna wait around for a month while he finishes some business.

This is exactly what I was thinking the other day. Our season isn't close to being finished. :twisted:

Bohls made 367k last year. The poison pill in his new contract is interesting.

My co-worker is betting on Nussmeier to be the next UW coach. He left UW to go to alabama, is one of the best OC's around, raises dream QB's, is an amazing recruiter, and knows the UW program.

Only makes 600k @ alabama, so the bump to a cool $1million would probably sound alright.
