He deserves a top 10 salary since we are a top 10 team. Maybe more to keep him here. It's not like $1 million is going to break the bank. Especially considering it pales in comparison to how much we spend on Football.

Football generates the revenue that pays for all title 9 sports at State. 1 million dollars for our girls basketball coach is asking a hell of a lot in my opinion. He may "deserve" it, but is that "feasible" at our institution? Does girls basketball generate revenue at State?

Well considering he is as good as gone the minute Gary Blair retires at A&M unless we give him a very good reason to stay, then heck yes he needs a pay raise.

I think you pay him a top 5 salary, whatever that number is...

womens basketball has the ability to be profitable and at this point you invest in it as a money-making sport. Once it breaks THAT threshold it is set up for longterm success and sustainability.

A tried to do a little digging on the interwebz and learned that Vic is in year 2 of a 4 year contract that should average something in the vicinity of 667k over the life of the contract. Another one of those nebulous MSU contracts... I know nothing of his incentive bonus structure but one would have to think he has one.

I would think a guaranteed salary in the 875k range with production incentives would be about right. Vic is building something in Starkville. He is around 54 years old or so. Pay him fairly and I would be surprised if he left for any other program other than aTm. And if aggieland comes calling, it won't be about the money anyway.

He deserves every dollar he is paid and then some. When we crapped the bed against Tenn in this last regular season game for him to come out and apologize for the performance the sincere way he did was refreshing. I think the guy is a great coach and straight shooter well worth keeping.

I don't think money will be an issue regarding Texas A&M. If he wants to go back there he will regardless of money.

He did more than apologize. He revamped the lineup. Gutsy move to start 4 new players this time of year. Yeah, we crapped the bed and lost an SEC title, but he is making chicken salad out of chicken^&*(.

Stricklin might not want to come back to Starkville if he does that

He already shouldn't want to come back anyway. Leaving his alma mater that also gave him his first AD job for another school in the same conference officially and forever burned his bridge as a friend of MSU or its interests. So, he might as well go for broke at this point.

Just to be clear, I have no disdain for Stricklin personally for doing what he views as the best thing for his family / career. But his ties are severed. He should never again be welcomed even the slightest bit more warmly in Starkville than Jeremy Foley, Ross Bjork, or any other visiting AD....past or present.
