I’m surprised they were able to get him at 6/600K. That seems like a pretty good bargain for someone with his resume, and considering he was getting 500K at WSU. 

Kudos to Leonard for getting this done.

I agree--I thought it would take $700k-$750k to land him.

Cuonzo Martin is getting $600K, bumped up to $650K plus incentives at MoState.

I just took a peek at Wright State's stats this year... if there's a polar opposite to "Floorburn U", I think we've found it, as Nagy's team had the 4th-highest scoring team in the nation this year... but also was 5th-worst in the nation in giving up points.

So, time to figure out a team nickname then... "Bucketbuster U", "Scoreboard Breaker U", etc.

One more interesting fact... Nagy's first game as the coach of Wright State was a road win, November 11th, 2016 - at SIU.  So he's undefeated at the Arena.  😉

There's more than one way to burn a floor! It can surely be done with an offense that's on fire . . .

😉

In most sports, and jobs, I am a large supporter of contracts/pay with incentivized bonuses.  I would like to see Nagy's contract include bonuses for finishing in the top 4, winning the conference and/or making the NCAA or NIT.

thank you 

it does not cost much to stay running. 69 does all the work.  I feel like it’s everybody that posts here money. The NIL is where it should go

Wright State board says Bere is gone to either SIU or Michigan.  Trice is staying with Wright State

So I just made a donation to the Floorburn U NIL initiative.  How great would it be if there is an influx of unexpected NIL $$ for the new coach to help with recruiting, etc.  I wish we could have added a note, for example, saying that it came from the Saluki Insider Group/Family (albeit a dysfunctional one-lol)

FYI, according to Twitter, the press conference will be streamed live (1pm CT) on the SIU basketball YouTube account. They said they’d provide a direct link tomorrow, but I assume you can just check their account:

Do we know if our scoreboard is capable of 3 digits on the Home side?

That is probably was in his contract at Wright State as well in Mullins case too. 
So we probably have those incentives like TEAM GPA, NCAA appearance, MVC coach of the year, 20+ wins. A win in the NCAA OR NIT. Final Four etc. Ben Jacobsen at UNI. his base is $500k. With $500k in incentives.  Which increases every year

Start a separate challenge thread IN.  I will join the collective tomorrow and join you.

I like the hire!  Hoping Nagy is a great fit with SIU and southern Illinois. Time to get to work on rebuilding the roster.  

I’m jumping in on the NIL donation as well.

 

GO DAWGS!!
