Kendall Rogers kept floating that Wes was a candidate for the MSU job.
Better be ready to pay up if you want him after DVH, piggies.

He’s at $1.2 currently after the extension last year, expectation for new salary is well north of that number. Josh Brooks is aware that A&M and Carolina could open again soon and that DVH is likely to retire sometime in the near future, goal has been to make it rough for Wes to step away or be poached for the forseeable future

Yep. Good on Georgia for putting money into the program with the momentum that’s been generated. Scary program if UGA is getting the in-state guys that have been killing it elsewhere.

Good coach, no brainer decision to extend him.

I mean I could see from a mile away that was all to make UGA pay up.

His time here was a disaster and would have been a luke warm reception to him being here.

Good for them. Certainly would have been an upgrade for us, just didn't like him while in Starkville. Could be petty but glad he is staying in Athens.

MSU can’t even convince an alumn to come back. Why do their fans act like they are LSU baseball?

Endowed position by Tom Cousins in honor of his father, Ike, who was supposed to have played pro ball but chose to stay home and raise his family instead.

Tom Cousins was the former owner of the Atlanta Hawks and Flames (brought both to Atlanta) and also bought and rebuilt East Lake GC and is responsible for it becoming the site of the Tour Championship.
