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.
Hard to argue with that. However, prior to his final two seasons at App, Tom Apke was 122-107. He had the misfortune of coaching during the years of those great ETSU teams.

Apke's final year was 8-20. Our OOC sked that year included a home games with Ga Tech, Charlotte, Loyola Chicago, and St. Bonaventure; on the road at Clemson, Wake Forest, Indiana, , Kent State, and East Carolina.

They are all paid too much.

Likely most of us are paid too much in relation to the value we bring to society.

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?
Wofford is rumored to be very interested. For ETSU, he would be in the top 5 rumored for them. Wofford is a legit possibility.

I'll retract, what I've just been told is it'll be the interim coach, or they have a few ACC assistants that were with Young at Wofford. May interview some externally, but looking to keep it in the family.

I would think ETSU is looking to find another Forbes and given his record here, I wouldn't think Kerns' registers.

Nah, but we had to spend 5 pages arguing if they "could" hire him, lol

Nobody claimed a hire is imminent. All that was said is it would take $485k+ for Kerns to be hired at ETSU. That is still the case. Which is likely the reason, as of right now, he is not their main focus.

Still struggling with that reading comprehension?

I doubt the salary is the issue. I doubt he is really on their radar. I think they are looking for someone more likely to bring back the Forbes dynamic.

Yeah, I have no clue if he is on their radar or not. I don't know anything about ETSU athletics.

My initial comment was it would take a 50% pay increase for them to lure Kerns away and, at that point, it's no longer a lateral move. That's it. That simple. Never claimed they were coming to take Kerns. Simply that's what it would take to get him.

Saint tried to construe that to claiming I said they currently pay 50% more and went running to say they couldn't come close to paying that much even though they were just 4 years ago.

I see McNeese just picked up Will Wade. It will be interesting to see his contract once its made public. That could play a part in setting the latest salary expectation for an upper G5.

I'm surprised to see Wade get another job so fast with all of his violations still under investigation

It's just a big risk if NCAA comes down with a show cause on him.. I know that's not likely these days, just seems like a risky move for any AD as of now.

But, I'm sure they did their due diligence and are willing to accept said risk.

Still no one has answered my query. I'll rephrase. Has Coach Kerns himself said anything about wanting to leave?
