Message: [QUOTE="chakka3421, post: 1541911, member: 1091"] Hey Rocco - Ruhle from Temple is a known developer and regional recruiter but I would think Maryland has inside track. Ruhle makes $1.3 million. Edsall made $2.25 million. Penn State LB player OC/QB coach & recruiting coordinator under Golden at Temple OL coach NY Giants HC Temple since 2012 Saw team play against #4 ND almost beating and play against SMU passing attack against laying on 60 pts against SMU. I didn't see the talent level any different than us currently. Recruits well in our region. Seems like a spread offense but Millhouse would know better. Finally on the compensation note, almost all P5 schools pay $2 million minimum. Very few are under $2M like SU, BC, Kansas, Rutgers, Indiana, Illinois - you get what you pay for and you deserve what you get. If SU stays here given the ACC monies, hard to expect much more than 3-5 win seasons with occasional 6-6 and we should accept Shafer and his band's performance. A top 45 to 60 comp would be $2 - $2.5 million range and more of the private college crowd - Pitt, NCState, Minny, USF, BYU, Arizona, UNC, Duke, Vandy, Miami, Maryland, Purdue, Northwestern, UVA. Some are successful but struggle. A top 30 to 45 comp would in the $2.5 million to $3 million range - Wisconsin, Wash St, Utah, Cal, Colorado, Vtech, Gtech, WVA, Stanford, Nebraska, Arkansas, The elite top 30 would be $3.0M and above. So to get a Ruhle kind of guy we need to be competitive with a minimum of $2.5 million just to get a chance at him versus a Maryland. Or any of these guys as the teams looking for a proven HC have to pay that to play. Anything less we would have less of a chance to get who we really want. $750k for both coordinators just get competent coordinators so on and so forth so we have to pay $7-$8 million by my estimates or an increase of $3-$4 million in incremental costs - or double what we're paying now. Should be a no brainer given the additional ACC income. Anything less and I would say we are a basketball school if we stay where we are. :mad: [/QUOTE]
