I hear Mark Few or Jamie Dixon. What ever happened to Steve Lavin? Oregon is building an awesome facility and they will spend alot of Nike money to get a good coach.
I have the PERFECT guy!!! Still young,tenacious, hell of a recruiter, tons and tons of tournament experience.
i might be naive. but that article seems very very ambitious... i dont think they'll land any of their top 3. i could be wrong, but i'd be shocked.
They may go to 2 mil per year. They will likely make a big splash, Recall, for baseball "The Oregon Ducks' fledgling baseball program wanted a big name as coach, and it got one of the biggest: George Horton, who guided Cal State Fullerton to a national title in 2004, will take over the Ducks' baseball program, recently reinstated after a 26-year hiatus." fromThe Link
they wont pay their bball coach more than they pay their football coach. kelly's contract is at 1.4ish right now. he'll probably get bumped up to above 2 after the 2010 season. with that being said, i think that they'll offer anywhere from 1.6-1.8 to a HC. turge will probably be making that (after renegotiating his contract at A&M) after the tourney...and with the money being equal, i cant imagine him leaving to go turnaround oregon. just makes no sense. i might be cursing myself with this statement, but the only school i will legitimately be concerned about losing turge to is kansas. if kansas opens up, and they look to him, i'll tip my hat and say best of luck. oregon is a non-factor.
