How much will Lamar give their OC and DC?

[Guest abovetherim]

Well I was told by a very reliable source that the football budget will not be $1.5 million as I previously posted but $2 million a year. I think with that budget Lamar "could" pay up to $100,000 for each. Especially, if they are grooming one of them to be the next Head Coach.

Food for thought, there is no local HS football coach making over $85,000. There was a list out not too long ago and none of the local coaches were in the Top 50 in the state regarding salary.

[Guest coachacola]

It's good to hear that Lamar will be spending about $2 million a year on football.  Here's what the other schools in the SLC spent on football in 2006-2007:

School          Amount (in millions)

Texas State  $2.3

SFA                2.1

Central Ark.      1.9

SeLA              1.9

Nw State        1.7

McNeese          1.6

Sam Houston    1.6

Nicholls State    1.1

I have a feeling that by 2010 Lamar will be spending at least $2.5 million a year on football and will have a total athletic budget over $8 million a year.

[TexasTerror]

Texas State - San Marcos has always outspent the other schools and did not get the results that the other schools have achieved (one playoff appearance in over 20 years of Div I football)...

$100k would probably put Lamar's coordinators at the top of the SLC. There's a few coaches making less than that and I think the top coaching salary in the SLC is UCA -- can't recall, but I think it's $125k-$150k. Think SFA and San Marcos were paying in the $110-125k range for their head coaches.

[Guest abovetherim]

Well, I defer to Texas Terror here but I can't see Lamar going cheap and landing one of these coaches mentioned in the PA News.

[Guest Pirate V Ball]

Better not go cheap on anything!!

[UNLV]

Lamar should make extra money with a higher attendance.
