Will the new coach be paid the same $600,000 per year Bowers was paid?  If not why not?

Bowers wasn't paid $600,000 to coach football. He was paid over $200,000. It's online. 

BTW Bowers is one of the best coaches ever in TN so why would the new coach be paid the same unless he had similar qualifications?

Best coach ever?!?! Come on now...... In a controlled environment of being able to recruit and play a smaller pool of teams, he might be one of the top coaches.  But all I see is a school that nobody should compete with, in ANY sport, become completely irrelevant in all.  He also won with a specific player (Elder).  There are many public and private coaches that come to the forefront when discussing the GOAT.....he was no longer in that conversation as a current head coach.  They must rip the band-aid off at some point and start fresh with a new look athletics department.  Until that happens all the other schools and teams are happy.  If they hire someone other than the name Bowers that goes and gets things done with a new approach, that's when folks will start feeling a little uncomfortable and the E will be back on top.

So Elder was able to beat Derrick Barnett and Jalen Ramsey by himself? Ingle Martin was a one man show too? On top of that all the schools competing against his teams had similar players and programs. 

If you don't mind just answer my first question then I'll respond to your initial post. Thank you.

Back to the point as was trying to make in earlier post......$599K for AD, Boys Basketball, and Football.  All which have not been relevant in a while and what about the other sports at the school?  Are they doing well?  

Man you are reaching a bit here. I addressed your Corn Elder comments and you've yet to answer. Why? Lol

Wasn't here to answer your question.  I just made a point about the ridiculous salary and the return on investment (as far as success is measured).  To answer your question, if I was in charge of the money there it would be difficult to pay that amount off the bat.  However, I sure would have some performance steps in there to get him to that level if he revives the program, restores and maintains prominence.  There are too many moving pieces to this equation that none of us is privy to.....unless you are on the inside.  We do not know budget figures, contributions, what boosters are willing to pony up, etc.... So it really does not matter what the common folk thinks.  But it is fun to speculate and act like pundits.  Isn't it?

    • Understand the young thing.  I was one of those.  Barely 17 when I graduated from high school and started college.  But redshirting for athletic purposes isn't doing them any favors, in my opinion.  Life isn't always going to be fair.

    • The Girls Basketball team I am a part of played for a gold ball this season. One of the biggest differences in the sports is that there is no field prep/maintenance in basketball.   Our baseball is successful and play 30 games in the regular season as well. All of the teams dedicate A LOT of time in preparing for their next opponent. 
    • Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year? I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say they have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book? It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well.  I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode. i kid, I kid. Sort of. I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented?
