2 more coaches gone!

Re: 2 more coaches gone!

Can you list the good things SDSU has to offer and why you would get a pretty good list of candidates? Not looking to smack or starting an argument...just curious on your thoughts...

Tell us why SDSU wouldn't be a good gig. Just curious on your thoughts.

Re: 2 more coaches gone!

Montana Rabbit touched on single year contracts as being a stopper for HC applicants

No...no I didn't. Some people here think it's a bad deal....I don't buy into that. We don't have a history of firing coaches. Actually it seems to be the opposite...our administration gives a pretty long leash.

Re: 2 more coaches gone!

I think we can safely say that if (not saying it should or will) our head coaching position opened up it'd be pretty damn desirable. I've heard the argument more than once about not being able to do better than Stig for several reasons, one of which is the one year contract issue.

SDSU has good things to offer and if we ever need to replace one of our big 3 coaches we will have a pretty good list of candidates.

Re: 2 more coaches gone!

if you're within 400 miles of the valley you're close enough.

In the end 35k to get your foot in the door may seem paltry but many successful coaches step up through those ranks. Much like teaching, civil service and serving our country it's not about the money. Now we also must factor cost of living which is very reasonable in Brookings and SD in general when compared to other states and regions. It's not great but these assistant jobs are stepping stones on the way up to other jobs.

No argument here, I been saying its a stepping stone. And you do have to start somewhere. Montana Rabbit touched on single year contracts as being a stopper for HC applicants, but what I see as a problem with multi year contract is if a coach is not cutting the mustard, you are stuck with him or you have call on the Denny Sanford's to come up with the cash to buy out the contract. I just don't see the Kurtenbach's or the Fishback's being that resourceful, and Boone Pickens is not among our alums. I don't know where the money for U of Minnesota comes from when they can some one with years to go on the contracts. It just seems like a waste of resource for a mistake made in hiring. Canning the AD is not currently an option for SDSU, at least not now.

Re: 2 more coaches gone!

If so they had quite a difference in salary. That being said I'm not privy to any "other duties" that might be the reasoning behind that.

Re: 2 more coaches gone!

Ok, Somebody help me on this; Coach Flynn Had 3 years (maybe four but I though he started the year we first played @ KU) if I remember correctly (gojacks does not list him at all) how about the other 2. I thought Josh Davis had been around longer than that, Judging by salary I must be wrong. Can someone with a better memory of the coaching staff help me with this?

I believe both Flynn and Davis just finished their 3rd seasons. That's my guess

My bad Davis had 7 seasons with the Jacks and Flynn his 4th, wow time flies.

Re: 2 more coaches gone!

Okay I did not realize you were that close to home. Maybe some time we can. Can you believe 350 applications for a 35k job? Everyone wants to be a coach except for me. I don't.

Re: 2 more coaches gone!

Well we can agree on that today, unfortunately I'm unable to meet you at the valley for pie day. Maybe next week?

Re: 2 more coaches gone!

"Absolutely stupid"? I'll give you somewhat ridiculous but not stupid, lighten up Francis(it's a quote I know your name isn't Francis). I'm not saying they HAVE to give a statement just that if they were willing it'd be nice. I guessing you've never heard a coach that's moved on to another coaching job or pursued other interests give a statement. Something like "I'd like to thank coach (insert name) and the whole (insert mascot name) family, this has been a great opportunity that has lead to me..." and so forth. I've heard it from plenty, even Jackrabbit coaches that have moved on. Perhaps if I find the time I'll try to dig up some quotes. Jay Bubak is one coach that comes to mind. Again it is the individuals prerogative to state, more of a curiosity from a fans perspective.

In in regards to Flynn, I believe I stated it could be part of the business plan.

Re: 2 more coaches gone!

I think your suggestion about giving statements is absolutely stupid. I am sorry but it makes no sense. These guys got lives to live just like you and I and they are not obligated to say Jack8888 when they leave. As far as Flynn, I find KU Law Jack a relying source since he is an attorney and no doubt has gotten to know Flynn, and possibly Flynn came to him for advice about law school. I don't know and don't care to know. Law school just might be part of his business plan. Who knows? John Flynn has moved on.

Of course, peach pie is really good... especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Ala mode...let's do it. See you all on another thread.
