Wouldn't be surprised if Todd Lowery at Brownsville gets the job. He deserves it. [/quote He certainly has earned it, but I hope he realizes how much his recruiting patterns are going to have to change if he does jump. UTPA and UT-Brownsville are essentially combining to become UT-Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV). It was announced earlier that UTB was folding it's program after this year, because of the move to UTRGV (Anybody lost yet?) - I wondered how this transition would go, if UTRGV would take players (and possibly coaches) from either program to form the new program. Todd would be great, but D1 is different than NAIA - not that he can't coach, just a different set of rules, regulations and players. |

The question is how many of his players would be eligible to play NCAA. |

I thought that they wanted to succeed? $60-$80k in that conference is the bottom of the barrel. Hell, I'm pretty confident that most first assistants are making that amount in the SEC, if not more. I wouldn't place any expectations on improving the overall VB program with that salary. |

Is that good for a major conference? Seems low for an SEC head coach. I wonder how many other schools in the Big 5 conferences have Vb head coaches making this low. Yeah, yeah, it's Miss. St. and people will say how much do they care, and how much will they support, they pour all the money into a couple of high profile sports, etc......but I still think it's low. I know mid major D1 and even some D2 coaches making this. Not saying it's right, wrong, or whatever. Just asking if it seems low. |

They should pay more since you have to live in Starkville.

I wouldn't place any expectations on improving the overall VB program with that salary. Oh that's way low. Mid major coaches get paid better than that. And let's be real, how much more are you going to make off campus in MS? |

Looks like they updated it to 80-100K Must have been reading volleytalk and seeing all the negative posts about such a low salary. IMO, still pretty low for an SEC Head Coach, but at least it's more attractive than the $60-80 range. |

And let's be real, how much more are you going to make off campus in MS? On it's face, George Mason and Mississippi State are both paying around $70,000. However, $70,000 in Starkville is equal to $119,905 in Fairfax, Va. Doesn't help them compare to Baylor or the other SEC schools but it's something to consider. |

You want a head coach to take a bottom dwelling program in a tough conference out of the bottom and you are paying them how much? You get what you pay for. |
