Oh, by the way his salary is over 600k per season.

It was 350k, you've to reward a coach who has done what he has done in 3 seasons! If Heath does the same thing, then EMU will have to pay him more! That's true in any career where you achieve success! I think Heath will bring in 3, or 4 big transfers, and surround NF with talented players! Look at UT-CHATTANOOGA, Texas Tech, and Iowa St to name just a few! 5-6 transfer players.........I can see a enormous turnaround quick, if he doesn't do this, we'll be the worst team in the MAC possibly! Also, the top of the MAC is loaded versus what we've returning!

I read the article. His contract is 'blended' that is, started low (because of the Illinois moneys) and then rose to 600k. Akron is and has been on the hook for 600K.

To beg the question, could EMU pay a MBB HC 600K+ per year?

I truly believe that Game Above would assist in compensation if Heath were to get us to the dance. The question is how much does Heath like losing? Does he still have the competitive drive to work ridiculous hours to recruit players for EMU to win. He’s already a millionaire who has a nice retirement nest egg. Just like Jerry said, does Heath have the fire in his belly to recruit great athletes here.
