bullshite about Yurachek not paying coaches

Yep. HY splashed the cash for Muss and basically signed Van Horn to a life time deal this year. We aren't completely batshit crazy about throwing around money like A&M but so far under Yurachek we haven't been shy about opening up the pocket book either.

Now we did cut salaries last year and take out a loan to help cover some facility debt incurred by the previous AD administration but that was because of COVID. All of our head coaches took a 10% cut in salary, HY took a 15% cut, and most staff took a 7.5% cut. As of this summer everyone's salaries are back to normal and all of our coaches agreed to the pay cuts.

We did not, however, lay off any staff, cut any sports programs, or force any employees on furlough. LSU, as an example, only took 5% off their coaches salaries but laid off a shite ton of people in their Athletic Department. Ohio State and Michigan furloughed employees and fired people.

Basically all the big wigs in our sports took a one year hit in pay to keep the day to day staff employed.
