Re: ETSU fires Coach
Imagine digging in this hard and claiming you have access to a database for proof and not posting it.
But remember when this all started it wasn’t a fact so that part now checks out.

Re: ETSU fires Coach
Just search his last name Kerns
Reported salary $325,000
https://uncdm.northcarolina.edu/salaries/index.php
Scroll down the pdf to Oliver. It's in alphabetical order. His reported salary was $335,000
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source= ... YrnYb-iWtq
Forbes was in the low 200k
https://www.johnsoncitypress.com/sports ... 6e689.html
Then 400k + 200k retention.
https://www.wjhl.com/uncategorized/etsu ... onference/
"Dr. Noland, talking publicly about the raise for the first time, justified the expense by saying ETSU wants to be in the NCAA tournament every year and hopes to follow in the footsteps of mid-major colleges like Wichita State and Gonzaga. He said the new contract also minimizes the risk of losing Coach Forbes to another mid-major conference."
They paid him a lot for a mid major but they were going for broke as Dr. Noland eludes to here thinking they were going to be the next Gonzaga. Obviously that blew up in their faces.
Not trying to join y'all's sausage contest but I was actually curious what the numbers really were.

Re: ETSU fires Coach
The contract extension was signed in Feb 2018. Which means it applied to the 2018-2019 season. He didn't leave until 2020. So, I'm assuming they paid that once. So, if so, he was paid $600,000 one year.appdaze wrote: ↑Sat Mar 11, 2023 2:48 pmJust search his last name Kerns

Re: ETSU fires Coach
Imagine saying because they didn't pay the full contract since he was bought out, that means they were never on the hook to pay over $600k (it was actually 650k before any kind of bonus -- 450k base, 200k retention).
It's a public database. Everyone has access to it. It's provided through the state of Tennessee. Again, google is easy. I can link you to the database, but linking to the specific record is not available.
And it is 100% a fact ETSU can pay more for a basketball coach. It's been proven.

Re: ETSU fires Coach
I’ve referenced all those numbers throughout this thread.
So bet is on?

Re: ETSU fires Coach
Nope. As I already stated, I have no idea what they are going to offer other candidates. I just know what it's going to take to get Kerns.
I also know they have the ability to pay up to $650k a year.

Re: ETSU fires Coach
You also said the $650k contract didn't count because he got bought out...

Re: ETSU fires Coach
Facts like paying someone $600k on top of the buy out would be 5% of their total budget?
The current salary they pay is only 15% higher than App’s.
We are headed towards a recession.
You won’t take the bet because the facts are on my side, it’s a good call.
And for the record which started all of this ETSU is 100% a lateral move in mid-major basketball.

Re: ETSU fires Coach
I won't take the bet because that was never my argument. My argument is it's going to take a 50% increase to get Kerns. That is still my argument and something I will stick to. In that case, it's not a lateral move.Saint3333 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 11, 2023 3:38 pmFacts like paying someone $600k on top of the buy out would be 5% of their total budget?

You're probably right. If Kerns is not the option for them, it's not likely to be 500k. But, if Kerns is their choice, it will have to be. He's not going to ETSU for less than that.
In terms of being a mid major, yes it's lateral. But so is Wichita St, St Mary's, Murray State, etc. In terms of pay, if they lure Kerns, it's a 50% increase for him and nowhere close to lateral.
485k is what would be a 50% raise for Kerns. They were paying Forbes 450k base. Not far off and doable if Kerns is their choice. And if Kerns is their choice, that's what it's going to take to get him to agree.

Re: ETSU fires Coach
You started they currently pay 50% more. Let’s not rehash that.
Comparing Wichita St and St Mary’s to ETSU is hyperbole.

Re: ETSU fires Coach
That is not what I started with at all. If that's how you took it, that's on you. I simply said Kerns would be paid 50% more if he was to become the head coach at ETSU so it's not lateral. In fact, I even said in my very next post after you stated the salaries you can't assume they will pay Kerns the same amount.
I only mentioned those because you said it's lateral simply because it's a mid major school. So are the others. Some mid majors can pay more.

Walker is trying to go G League.

Think those are the only 2 that had options to return.

Re: ETSU fires Coach
I haven't followed this thread at all, but I would like to know what started this discussion. Is Coach Kerns talking about leaving App?

Re: ETSU fires Coach
Couldn’t we match 485k if we wanted to? We just set attendance records TAMU win had some $$$ flowing in and sbc got a media dea raise in 2021 and one is coming next year.AppStateNews wrote: ↑Sat Mar 11, 2023 3:43 pmI won't take the bet because that was never my argument.

I’m not sure we would be interested in matching 500k but I think we could if we wanted too

Re: ETSU fires Coach
We can match, the question is would we.
We need basketball to be a consistent top 150 team. Kerns has the potential to get us there and honestly has had as much success as anyone not named Buzz in the last 40 years.

I do know we have some more big time donors in the works, so I won't say no, but I don't think matching would be the first option.
