Yeah, I don't remember her even really humoring interviews in the past. Pitt paid their last coach $610,000 which is a little over double what she is making at UT, so I get it...but still, this could go from one of the best years in UT Athletics history to one of the worst really quickly if Cullop and TK end up looking elsewhere.

She's interviewed before, but it has been a while. I may be remembering wrong, but it might have been at OSU when McGuff got hired.

The Pitt job is terrible though. Unless you are someone who sees themself as someone who can completely turn around a dead program. Yeah it's more money, but Pitt has literally had like 12 winning seasons in the entire history of the program. They had some brief success from like 04-08, but that coach could not even sustain it. They have no fan support (<1000 a game, which is really poor for an ACC program) and even when they play Duquesne, they only maybe get a couple hundred more. Other than the bump in salary, not sure why anyone would want that job.

Yes, she interviewed at OSU. She makes $350K this year + bonuses.

Men make well over 100k in bonuses so she makes near 500k total.

According to the Blade (I know...), her contract extension put her base at $340,000 with $10,000.escalators every year starting in 2022, and she had to capacity to make up to $60,000 more through bonuses. So her maximum possible gross this year was $400,000. Just for comparisons sake, Michelle Clark Heard, who was recently fired at Cincinnati, made $520,000 in base salary this year, and that was before the move to the Big 12. She stands to gain a ton of money financially with a move, regardless of how we feel about it.

One thing we all know...very few communities will embrace her and women's basketball the way that Toledo has.
