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?

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
