Coach Hewitt Compensation per Win

[Quentin Daniels]

Someone brought up the compensation per win our coach is receiving. I thought this was an interesting question and worth tracking over the course of the season.

According to the most reliable of internet sources, wikipedia, Coach Hewitt earned $744,750 in 2013. Using that figure as the base and dividing by a regular season of 29 games, I get a payout of $25,681 per game.

At severn games into the season, the current payout has been $179,767. Divided by the two wins, the current compensation per win comes out to $89,884 per win.

I'm open to critiques of my numbers/methodology and willing to update as apropriate.

Next year (hopefully), his pay will be infinite per win (Total Pay divided by zero wins). Then again, if he is no longer the coach next year, in a way he gets credit for every win we get next year.

Incidentally, Shaka Smart and his $1.2 million contract before performance bonuses comes out to $54,193 per win using the same methodology.

The nearly $90k per win makes me want to puke....not only as a fan but from the socio-economic consideration.

Can we let Brad Edwards know of this? Excellent way of looking at how Hewitt is robbing this university of money and us fans of our souls.

Good way of looking at the Thief of Fairfax. I propose we move this discussion to the Rape thread.

Another comparison, Anthony Grant ranks as one of the 25 highest paid coaches in the country at $1.8 million.

Despite this paycheck, his Crimson Tide team still finished with a 13-19 record. Even in that mismatch though, the University of Alabama still paid less per win last season at $57,400 than George Mason is paying Paul Hewitt.

In fact, the only coaches I've been able to find that are being compensated more per win than Paul Hewitt are the 4 highest paid college basketball coaches Kryzewski, Pitino, Calipari, and Self who have all won national championships for their employer and now being compensated at $5-$7.2 million per season.

$1.8 million / 13 = $138,461.53 per win

You're right, used the per game rate.

At 5-1 this season, Alabama is ahead of us with Grant.

At 2-6, George Mason University has now cracked six figures on what it pays its men's head basketball coach for each win.



$102,724 per win.
