Pretty sure you’re gonna lose that bet
If UMD wants to commit to paying an assistant coach north of $850k (just guessing that's the floor of what we'd pay Skinn) then I say let 'em.
I don't think they don't have the money, I just don't think they're stupid enough to pay an assistant coach $850k. Maybe they are.
They’re gonna have to go higher than $850,000 to keep Tony from taking the HC job at his alma mater. That’s not gonna get it done.
As someone who‘s a lot older than Ryan Odum (who’s actually 48), ”he’s 100 years old” hits close to home!
We can’t be ‘sure’ of anything, but enough contemplation of the navel, let’s get Skinn on board and see what happens. If we F around long enough maybe we can get Ernie Nestor.*sigh* ok, then:
Also close to home, Michael Huger, who played for L at Bowling Green, and was a star there, played internationally, then coached college under L for years before getting the gig at his alma mater, and proceeding to coach .500 ball for years and years before getting fired a couple of weeks ago.

Is that an apt enough comparison for you guys?
Maybe him being 44 when he was hired is HUGELY different than Skinn being 40 today, but I don't buy it.
So, I'll ask again, not that there's anything WRONG with Skinn, but are we REALLY sure he's the best candidate there is, to be trying to organize an influence campaign with the president of the university?
Feels pretty "small picture" to me.

Just gonna hop in here and say Willard (and Maryland) are serious about keeping Tony. Also, you have to consider it from Tony's (or any other high paid assistant), stay at the school making a comparable BASE pay and maybe hold out for better jobs. Maryland can sweeten the pot with all sorts of other benefits Mason just can't that would make it even, easily.

Obviously, very premature, but then you’d have to go public that he turned it down or at least let it leak. There is no being quietly professional in that circumstance.
This is who is handling the AD search. Has been for months.
Of course they are serious about keeping him. All I’m saying is it’s gonna take more than $850,000 — based on what was offered to KE, Mason has the wherewithal to go higher than that.
If Littlepage is leading this, we are in good hands. I mean, he did chair the tournament committee in 2006…
