Coaching Carousel

Yes, but several years ago UNI with the help of some generous donors boosted his salary to $750,000 and made him one of the highest paid mid-major coaches in the country to keep him. In 2021, he signed an extension through 2029, and his salary now, according to an open records request a couple years ago by the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Gazette has risen to a total compensation package of over $1,000,000 per year, which is twice as much as the next highest MVC coach is getting.

That's a hefty price to pay...

1 million dollars goes along way in Cedar Falls.

Keith Dambrot of Duquesne announces he will retire after their season is completed. We played them in Akron earlier this year losing by 2.

Ford at St Louis was making 2.45 mil. Sycamores can't compete with that. No hard feelings glad to see him rise in the ranks. Life in the mid-majors (I hate that term) is good coaches get poached & bad ones sometimes take time to get rid of. Like the fact sycamores have a good one.

Don't know anything about him really, but appears he has some decent success in the last few years, and pretty well dominated his conference over the last decade. Probably would be a good hire for UIC.

Depends on if he can recruit this region. Do not know where he is from originally which makes a huge difference in recruiting.

Robert Jones is from New Your City. Here are a couple bios -

Drake head coach Darian DeVries is a leading candidate for Oklahoma State job- https://twitter.com/hoops_mvc/status...17852181225608

McNeese State's Will Wade also in the running.

After all their previously controversy, one would think Ok St would avoid Wade and his baggage.

Good point. Both Wade at LSU and Oklahoma State assistant coach Lamont Evans were among those found guilty in the FBI pay-for-play recruiting scandal.

Wade does not deserve to be coaching, he should have been banned period.

Word on the SIU board is that Preston Spradlin, the Morehead State coach, will be the next Saluki coach and an announcement will be made once Illinois bounces Morehead from the tourney. We'll have to wait to see if this is true or not. I don't know anything about this coach, but, from looking at his record at Morehead, he did a rebuilding job similar to what Brian Wardle did at Bradley.

This article has some nice things to say about Spradlin:
