But I know I value the minor sports more than you.

In case you missed Criddle's tweet - we pay our head coaches (combined for all men's sports) less than $4million!!!! So

Not sure how Coaches Circle fits in there. Guessing it is in addition to those numbers.

I don't believe so but I'm guessing. Donations to the couch's circle were given to the athletic department and then the

Does 80K make more than the total of our head coaches?

Archaea

This does not include non-school salary sources

Man I hope you're right. If true, I take back my posts which clearly would be ignorant.

HarlemCoug

This is correct... most of this is what they are making as church employees.

Bump up recruiting as well

groy

Is that base or does it include incentives?

Indy Coug

it seems like total comp to me.

HarlemCoug

1/7/20 4:49pm

yes. win your football or basketball conference and get an extra 10 million

BlueFrog

You do realize that coaches of non revenue sports make very little, right?

yup - but doesn't Pope deserve a Million at least? If so then we aren't paying our head football coach $3M? (At the same

Is there an elite coach who would come to BYU for $5M?

Who is that top tier LDS coach?

Whittingham

Lol We have to write a much bigger check than that to get Whittingham to come to BYU.

Doesn’t matter much you spend on recruiting

And most of that is split between KS & MP. BTW-- that's just men's coaches.

Soupie

1/7/20 4:52pm

I imagine it goes: KS, MP, Olmstead, then other non-rev coaches fall off significantly.

Soupie

1/7/20 4:54pm

2.2 mill KS, 1.1 mill MP and then everyone else.

LiveCoug

1/7/20 4:58pm

by way of comparison. Utah pays K Whitt $4.5M and 80k makes about $3.4M....

HarlemCoug

1/7/20 5:01pm

$80K has to be the most overpaid coach in the country.

Soupie

1/7/20 5:44pm

I'm guessing KS is around $1.8M, MP probably just under $1M which leaves $1.2M

Do they deserve more? I don’t know what the volleyball or track coaches make but

The Dude Abides

1/7/20 5:01pm

we as fans deserve more.... we are supporting the program with $$$, clicks, eyeballs, attendance... We deserve the best

HarlemCoug

Who are these better head coaches we are going to get by offering more $$?

The Dude Abides

1/7/20 5:07pm

With enough cash we could have kept Bronco and we could have enticed KS to be his DC. That would have been a great combo

HarlemCoug

1/7/20 5:12pm

I think Bronco was tired of BYU and wanted a new opportunity. Matching game Virginia’s offer wasn’t keeping him here.

The Dude Abides

1/7/20 5:17pm

I think Bronco was tired of trying to win 10 games/yr with a budget and staff better suited for 5 wins/yr.

HarlemCoug

1/7/20 5:20pm

So is your complaint more about what the assistants are being paid and the budget for recruiting?

The Dude Abides

1/7/20 5:30pm

I think we're on the same page - how can we expect to win if the Yewts are paying their head football and basketball

HarlemCoug

1/7/20 6:15pm

We beat Utah all the time in basketball. Being paid a lot doesn’t mean the team will be good.

The Dude Abides

1/7/20 6:48pm

I'm not saying KS should be paid more. Sorry if that wasn't clear. I'm saying we have the money, we should spend it on

HarlemCoug

1/7/20 7:37pm

So you want us to overpay for some other LDS head coach who would likely be short on

Indy Coug

1/7/20 7:47pm

No. There were better coaches available, even if we needed to pay double we should have done it..especially true at the

HarlemCoug

I believe the minor sports' coaches earn about 120

Archaea

Really don’t care at all what they make. As long as it’s not more than $150k or so, fine. It’s not like their

How much should we pay a first time ever head coach? This doesn't seem too off

runnincoug

1/7/20 5:05pm

Assistant coach salaries are the big problem.

Lip Gallagher

1/7/20 5:26pm

Our assistant coaches don't have experience either so they don't warrant being

That's not the current problem. Byu is cheap all around. Coaching and support.

Lip Gallagher

Nice, in depth analysis. 🙂

It doesn't need any. It just is what it is and there's really nothing much to it

Lip Gallagher

Women's sports loses that much money? Yikes

Cougs'16

1/7/20 5:06pm

I'd imagine BYU does better on women's sports than most. We typically have much better attendance than most.

Soupie

1/7/20 5:47pm

Doesn't BYU keep these numbers pretty secret?

SWP

1/7/20 5:09pm

Wow! That's pathetic!

Coug Dude

1/7/20 5:10pm

Would KS suddenly become a better coach if BYU upped his salary? Or is this about getting a better replacement?

Cosmodiar

1/7/20 5:13pm

No, but I think more $ for assistants, larger recruiting staff could help.

IntelCougar
