Yurchich is not proven to be worth 1 million is where I am getting at. Crazy inflation. I will be fine to match him around CRL price though.

OSU cannot and will not try to compete with us as far and money goes, T Boone Pickens would argue otherwise Pickens' gift remains the largest donation to a university's athletic program in collegiate history. His total contributions to OSU come to over $1 Billion. Over $265 million, or 66%, of his donations have been towards athletics. Pickens also has made substantial academic gifts to Oklahoma State University, particularly to the School of Geology, which is named for him.

I remember when Les Miles was hired at OSU, he took a pay cut in order to be able to pay his assistants more $$. I do not think Pickens would get involved with any of this. We do have more $$$$, and I mean more $$$$ than Pickens would ever get into a wage battle with Auburn. So please quit trying to come up with reasons why could not cover this without a doubt. Ok, why don't you try not to put words in my mouth. Having money is one thing. Spending money relentlessly is another. Now, if you are willing to throw 1 million dollars at anybody, that is you. Lucky, the guys who make money are smarter than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubie17 65 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Yurchich looks like a great hire if they can entice him away and close the deal. Any idea on his level of interest? Has he been interviewed? The search seems to be tight lipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird just saying not picking but 265 million would only be 26.5 % of a billion. But you are right that he has given a lot to the athletics. As far as the other posters comments, we are not one of the wealthiest schools not even close. There are schools like Harvard, ND , MIT , Michigan and Texas A&M that are sitting on trust of more than 10 Billion dollars. Harvard has 20 Billion. We are one of the top ten as far as what we bring in from athletics (football) at around 120 to 140 million a year but our budget is also up there around 110 to 120 million a year. So we are confined to some degree. That said we can and will afford up to 1.5 million for a OC or a DC. So that puts us at the top fifteen programs that will do that.

OSU can compete with anyone as far as money goes "if" Boone Pickens wishes to throw more $$ at OSU athletics. This Yurcich (sp) has done nothing to justify paying him an exorbitant salary, let alone hundreds of thousands more than what Rhett was pulling from Auburn.

AUtigerfan1027 14 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Haven't seen this mentioned but will the new OC have any say so in his assistants? Or do we pick a guy who doesn't mind coming in and working with who is already in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boone Pickens for the thousands of bucks I lost in the 1980s when he was a takeover artist using Mesa Petroleum and I bet on Pickens against Gulf Oil and Pickens then sold his stock to Gulf at a premium and everyone else who had bought Gulf lost money. It's got nothing to do with football, but it would give me a little bit of satisfaction to raid OK. State and take their OC. Very small payback, but all I'm likely to get.

Honestly I don't think any true home run hire would stay more than 1 or 2 years and I don't think Gus cares beyond 2017. I think has he pushed his chips all in for this year to try to buy him some job security by at least winning the SEC & making a playoff push. He has a good D, the QB he wants, a beast at RB, & now trying to get a home run OC to put it all together. I think Gus realizes 2017 for him is go big or go home.

Rhett Lashlee at $600K was on the absolute lowest end of the coordinator scale in the SEC; due to his obvious inexperience and the fact that he was only ever the 'de-facto' OC who held the position due to his closeness to Malzahn. $600K isn't a realistic number for any experienced OC we would be looking at; even T-Rob made $750K this year as the DC at South Carolina and he had never even been a DC before. I'm not sure about $1 million, but Yurcich would demand (and receive) a hell of a lot more than Rhett Lashlee's salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
