[quote=“Upstate49er, post:239, topic:31078”][quote=“Nugget, post:237, topic:31078”][quote=“FSL Owner, post:235, topic:31078”]I am pretty sure Lambert’s contract is worth $600K now. Not sure how much of that is incentives. He can’t be earning many of those. There was a discussion of coaches contracts on the CUSA Board. I am pretty confident Lambert was at 600K.

The contract is up in 2020.[/quote]
The $600k ĂŹs total compensation. We only owe the base salary.[/quote]How much is his base salary?[/quote]
It appears to be $250k. There is a link to his contract several posts up.

Ah the legacy of Bobby Lutz’s contract when we fired him and were surprised we owed him his total contract. At least in this instance we learned from our earlier stupidity.

Some ideas… https://herosports.com/college-football/10-non-fbs-coaches-jobs-buddy-stephens-bo-pelini-mike-houston-ahah

[font=Verdana][size=2]Buddy Stephens? Seems like a pretty good coach. I was impressed with what I saw on LCU. He’s a hothead and has a trash mouth so he likely wouldn’t last with the current administration.[/size][/font]

[size=2]Mike Houston might be available if we jump early. Most people speculate that he will make the jump to a bigger school for 2018.[/size]

I’d hire Mike Houston today if at all possible.

JMU is going to host gameday for the 2nd time in 3 years because of him. It’s probably already too late for us.

He’s young, an NC native, and he wins. A lot. He’s perfect for us. That means there is no way we hire him. No way.

But will he take orders from Judy and CHP?

clt says we should move quickly.

of course we will not, and he will end up at ecu

I agree with CLT, but I think ECU’s coach gets one more year, so we have a chance to do the right thing at the end of the season. We probably wont, but we have the chance.

Will Mike Houston become our football version of Greg Marshall?

Yes but only if he really wants to come here.

Can we get Mike Houston?

My guess is that we will never know.

That was my understanding too, thus my point.

Yes, he did. Our timing was off, but my question is would we have even tried to sign him if he was still at Winthrop when we started looking for a coach?

255

I can tell you 100% that the only team he will take a job with in this state has baby blue colors.

clt asks if that is after the massive sanctions

257

I doubt they would offer until they see what he can do in the fbs.

258

some coordinator names worth looking into if we can’t snag a head coach

259

We are getting ahead of ourselves here with half a season to go, but… I would prefer to hire a head coach that is having success at a lower level than a coordinator ready to move up. Okay, that is a generalization and would not apply to everyone, but I think there is a lot of value in currently running a large staff successfully. That can’t be easy.

Alex Grinch is a guy we should pursue as head coach if we move on from Lambert. He is the defensive coordinator for Washington State.
