Yeah, they wrote this right before they started listing names: Remember these are just our suggestions, we don’t know who has or has not applied. At this point, there is no insider information about potential hires. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Housebuye 2,437 Report post Posted June 26, 2018 Does anyone see this as of right now a 6 figure position? If it is under 6 figures, what big name coach in a very weak geographical area is going to want to start a new program from scratch? People need to be realistic. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk I’m sure it is a 6 figure role. They want to start a real program. 6 figures isn’t what it used to be, even in wrestling. Are there any real D1 wrestling programs with a head coach making less than that? By real I mean a team that has an occasional AA and routinely qualifies a couple of guys at a minimum.

TobusRex 2,108 Report post Posted June 26, 2018 Was Barry Davis' name in the hat for this position? (they have Krispy Cremes in Little Rock) You don't need Krispy Cremes to accommodate Barry Davis. How many psychoanalysts does Little Rock have? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One (presumably) on the way up is Jeremy Spates at Southern Illinois at Edwardsville. In 2016, Spates made $61,198.40. I am going to guess he didn't make an extra $40K on camps. In the same year, Doug Schwab made $121,601. Terry Steiner made $105,000 in his first season with the Bulldogs two years ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assume this is the peer group that wrestling will fall under at the school. 2018 Salaries for UALR Head Coaches: Volleyball - $66,000 Swimming & Diving - $54,000 Baseball - $86,500 Track & Field - $63,749 Soccer - $61,200 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully the school is very lax on what they will charge for rooms and meals (usually an outside contracted food service company) so the camps can be very profitable. You would be surprised how much some schools charge for things like that. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MSU158 2,009 Report post Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) Incentives can be such a significant portion of "3rd tier" sports coaching salaries, making it really hard to know for sure what many/most will get paid. In 2015(The year they won), Tom Ryan made $312,971. I didn't find his base salary. The following year he made $462,145.00. With a base salary of $177,000.00, Tom Brands made $442,041.00 in 2015. John W. Smith just made(2017) $312,100. John W. Smith also just made $36,500 for moonlighting as an electrician at S.W. Oklahoma State. I would love for someone to spend the time and compile a full list of base salaries and actual earnings for each coach. It would be interesting to see how many stay the same!

Swayz 161 Report post Posted July 5, 2018 Love you man, but you're wrong on this one. Erisman is a strong hire. Agree. It is an exciting hire for many in neighboring states too. Lot of folks in Kansas know and love Neil. Kid is humble and busts his ass. He has left a great impression everywhere he has been with his work ethic and likability. Plenty of people in the Ark, Mo, Ok, KS belt will be more than willing to help him nab up bodies as well as studs in moving ahead. He will be fine. 2 TobusRex and rstrong reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't realize the entire state of Oklahoma had that much money! What's this about John moonlighting as an electrician? I never heard of that. Pretty cool.
