[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 343765, member: 2426"] I have no idea what he thinks is important. I certainly hope that he is happy at GT and with the new GTAA administration. With the pay, I would say that it doesn't matter how much you make, a 30% pay raise is significant. He might look at some place like Nebraska or Auburn and think that they have more money to spend on facilities and support. GTAA revenue in 2015-16 was $76million with $76million in expenses. Nebraska was $112million-$103million, Auburn was $140million-$125million. Auburn was able to put about 20% of GT's budget in the bank while spending almost double what GT spent. He spoke year before last about Clemson's football support staff. I can't remember the numbers, but they travel with over 30 people I believe. They have people who take care of all of the tasks of getting players to the right place, getting things organized, ensuring everything is set up and in place. The coaches there don't have to worry about whether a player is in bed at curfew, or up in the morning, or eating the correct breakfast. They can just concentrate solely on football. I'm sure at those places, if a player misses curfew, or is misbehaving that the coaches get involved, but they don't have to micromanage it. Those schools can offer a coach a lot more than just a bump in salary. As I stated before, I really like him as the head coach and hope he stays here until he retires. I just think it is burying your head in the sand to believe that factory schools can't offer anything that GT can't. [/QUOTE]
