HB Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 They better pay him one way or another. They've already paid Pelini for less results. Glad to see you've come a long way from your withering criticism earlier this year (e.g. Miles hasn't shown he can manage a Big 10 roster). IMO, it was pretty obvious as early as last year he could flat out coach. busticket, Norm Peterson and unl 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyOneNut Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Not sure why you guys are so eager to throw other people's money around. Not only that, but many of you guys are the same ones that supported extending Doc. Well guess what? We're still paying the guy. I have an idea, since the fans are so eager to give away $50k WHEN HE DIDN'T EARN IT and dump more money on a premature extension then I suggest we raise ticket prices accordingly. We hired the guy and are paying him money to do what he's done (get us to the tourney). If that wasn't the expectation we could have kept Doc. If he actually takes to the next level (wins a tournament game) then give him a raise. For those of you that are worried he'll jump ship I laugh in your face. He has us excited, for good reason, but he isn't going to attract higher level prestige programs without a tourney win anyway. You guys wouldn't last a day in my shoes with contract negotiations...you give the farm away. If I was AD the program would be years ahead of schedule with millions saved vs what TO did.

nuled2dance Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 How is rewarding a coach for an amazing job this year a waste? Giving coach miles the bonus for having his peers and having the media winter admit Tim is his winner is not being fiscally irresponsible. He has earned this bonus and is pennies in the big picture. I along with many if you and many more major players make donations. Wherever money comes from today or down the road for miles will not be challenged. Coach is well taken care of but with everything great happening why even take a chance on a small bonus issue. Tim Miles puts in more hours than any of us and is away from his family. Enjoy the money coach and I am proud to donate to a program he leads. I hope to only be able to give more if the good lord blesses me as I am sure we all do.

49r Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 If you think raising ticket prices to compensate for a $50k bonus is going to hurt anyone in the pocketbook I would say you've got another think coming. What it amounts to is approximately $3 per season ticket. And if you look at it another way, that would be in the neighborhood of about 15 cents per ticket per game increase. As it is, the increased revenue, and profit (about $1.5 million worth), from raising basketball season ticket holders from ~6000 to 15000 (with little or no increase in ticket price) would cover just about any reasonable raise the AD would consider giving the coaching staff. I would imagine if you'd survey season ticket holders and asked them if they thought that was "throwing money around" they would laugh back in your face. I don't imagine you're very good with contract negotiations judging by your shortsighted post, Johnny. Finally, how do you propose the AD would be "years ahead of schedule" by saving "millions of dollars vs what TO did" when they are already running a pretty decent surplus as it is without saving your millions? Got an answer for that? Saving money for a rainy day doesn't win championships, Johnny. Norm Peterson, brfrad, Jadler and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastbreaker Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Question? Should Coach Yori receive a bonus for not fulfilling the terms of her contract bonuses, the same as you are advocating that Coach Miles should receive bonuses for not fulfilling the terms of his contract? After all she was the coaches COTY but not the media and has bonuses written into her contract also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT if I was AD I would tell Miles to don't worry about that $50k because I will be doing him better than that this off season when I restructure his contract to reflect the work he has produced.
