That would be crazy if we were really willing to pay 2.2 for a basketball coach. Don't get me wrong...I would love who we could get for that type of salary. I would just be surprised.

I agree with that.

For all intents and purposes, our athletics dept works as a nonprofit. So we'll have to find somewhere to invest the extra $30+ million we'll be bringing in starting next year(SECNetwork, expanded stadium, reworked bowl structure and pricing). Where better than head basketball coach salary?

For all intents and purposes -- we're 6 months away from being one of the 25 richest athletics depts in the country. At some point, we've got to start acting like it -- and if it's time to make a basketball change a year from now -- I would expect us to go all out toward someone to put butts in seats to turn this shitshow around in a hurry...

Should be able to write in about anyone wanted with that type of budget change. I'm with Engie, the $$ should be there when the time does come. Calling for his head mid season year 2 is still knee-jerk though.
