Coach Grassie would be the 3rd highest paid coach in the ACC right now behind Maryland and Wake Forest. Coach Grassie makes 120K a year. Put that in perspective Mike Noonan at Clemson makes 105K.

Also Coach Grassie has been in the US since he was 17. And all but 4 years has been in WV. He played at Alderson Broaddus University in Philippi, WV. The only time he hasn't been in the state of WV was 4 years as an asst at Michigan. His wife is also from Cross Lanes. WV (about 40 miles from Huntington).

He has said the only reason he left the University of Charleston was that he needed a new challenge. He was the HC of UC from 2011-2017 and was 99-20-1 with 1 Sweet 16, 2 Elite 8, 1 Final 4 and 2 N Ttile games. He was also the conference COY 4 times and national DII COY 2 times.
