How much y'all paying the guy, and how high can you go to retain him???

I think if Troy does try to retain him, then we will offer him around $1mil. Even then I'm not sure if he stays for that.

I hope we wants to stay in Troy to continue building the program, but if not I'm thankful for what he's done here. The cupboard certainly won't be bare for the next coach, that's for sure. Wouldn't surprise me to see Co-OC/O-Line coach Matt Moore get a shot at being head coach.

If he meets all his goals he will make more than a million at Troy this year with the bonuses

But I'm saying I could see Troy possibly offering him a base salary of around $1mil, not including the bonuses.

A million bucks is just a drop in the bucket to the LSUs, USCs, Notre Dames, etc. of the P-5 world. Oh, and Texas!

I hear that LSU is going after Neal Brown.

I doubt that...

Doubt it if you will. I don't blame you one bit for not wanting to face up to it, but CNB is a red hot commodity amongst young coaches.

Oh I'm well aware we may lose him... but I think if LSU is going to fork over 12million dollars to get a better coach they will go after someone bigger than Brown... 2 winning seasons probably won't cut it.

That's more winning seasons than Coach O has.

I at least hope we can keep Vic Koenning. He expressed after he was hired that he would like to stay put somewhere for a while because him and his family were tired of moving everywhere. He had went to Clemson, Kansas State, Illinois, North Carolina, and Troy all within just 10 years.

Keeping VK is more important than keeping NB IMHO. He is that important. I wouldn't mind hiring Tony Franklin as HC. I know some people argue that he is not HC material, but I disagree.

Agreed; like the other coach that's already beaten them this year.

I'd have to agree with other people in saying Tony Franklin isn't head coach material. He's not exactly a guy that brings a ton of energy to a program like Neal Brown can.

Agreed.

He's a good OC.

Seeing as how he's yet to stop us I say I agree with this suggestion.
