Mick's column was spot on!
Cousin Eddie is right about next year's expectations/challenges. I'm looking forward to the development of the Freshmen. I thought Simpson, Peterson really stepped in and played beyond their years during the course of the season, but were a little less agressive in the SLT.
There are a number of areas for improvement to the upside, Hagedorn, Armstrong, Jech?, this year's red shirts, and the new Freshmen. Only glaring area, is replacing Flack and inside presence, but I think we have the resources and a great coaching staff to develop.

I think the biggest improvement might actually stem from losing that semi-final Summit League game. The players will be plenty motivated to right that wrong and make the NCAA tourney. I don't think there will be a problem with the players not being motivated enough to improve in the off season. That one loss will drive this program.

I'm a little surprised at how low that number is. I was expecting 300k at the lowest. This definitely reaffirms (to me at least) that he was never serious about leaving.

Keep in mind that Iowa has a nearly 9% income tax rate compared to 0 for SD. That makes things a bit closer if Drake was offering $350K as that takes roughly $31k off the top.

LOL $275k for a coach that A) hasnt been to the big dance B) got outcoached by a horrible SDSU coach.... but C) to get paid $275k in Vermillion is simply amazing, this guy should be given an OSCAR.
I'm flabbergasted, but hey, have at it. More power to ya.

The $275K base sounds reasonable. I would bet there are a number of performance incentives built in that would easily take his gross over the $300K level.

Approximate monthly paycheck for Iowa at 350K per year: $17,793.94 Approximate monthly paycheck for SD at 275K per year: $15,904.17
Plus, cost of living in Des Moines is likely higher than in Vermillion.
Just thought it would be interesting to note this. (Source: PaycheckCity.com)

Hard to put a dollar amount on having the players he has right now, also. That's got to figure in somewhere, you would think. Plus, putting a lot into the incentives is just good business - Herbster does it again.

Are you going to live in the present or the past??While I'm with you on the MBB/WBB finishes, you're losing me on the football insults. They made it farther than we did and there's really no reason to think they won't continue to be a powerhouse at our level. That's not "living in the past." It's just a likely reality. Plus reaching the Final Four is still substantially better than we've ever done. So...even living in the present, I don't know a ton of Coyote fans who wouldn't immediately trade our entire program for NDSU's straight up. I would at least. But yes on the MBB/WBB thing. It'll be interesting to see if the Bison stay near the top or if they decline moving forward while we continue to rise. Either way, glad Coach Smith is back. I think most of us are glad about that, regardless of what lakesbison says when he visits our board.
