Re: New four year contract for Jay Hopson

To me, this right here tells me all I need to know about the future of USM. I hope nothing but success for Jay and the future, but we are the champions of mediocrity!

"Jay's leadership has brought stability to the football program resulting in winning seasons and bowl games in his first two years," said Gilbert. "The progress seen in this program can be attributed to his passion for teaching and developing our student-athletes which aligns with all that we stand for at Southern Miss."

In two seasons leading the Golden Eagles, Hopson has compiled a 15-11 record and is tied for the most wins in school history for a head coach over his first two seasons, tying Curley Hallman (1988-89).

Re: New four year contract for Jay Hopson

Reality is reality. Hop is ahead of hair gel in regular season and conference wins after two years including a win against the SEC on the road. Let’s not forget how important year 3 was for us fans with Fedora and how he laid a major egg on national tv against South Carolina to start the season.

Hop wants to be here. He is one of the better recruiters we have seen historically in Hattiesburg. Last, he is doing this for less money compared to Fed without even factoring in inflation over the past 10 years. We have no money and poor facilities in comparison to the top teams in our conference so unless you are going to $hit $10-15 million and donate it look at what the man is doing with what he has to work with and say thank you.

Re: New four year contract for Jay Hopson

Hop gets 50% of the gate above a certain number. Starts around $2,250,000 and goes up a little each year. This number is basically equal to what ticket sales have looked like for the last few years.

Hop gets more money for P5 wins and BCS bowl rankings.

Buyout is significantly reduced.

There's an additional $250,000 / year for assistant coach salaries in there. Look for a lot of that to get shoveled at Shannon Dawson in the near future.

Re: New four year contract for Jay Hopson

I like the incentives but don't like long extensions so early in a contract.  We have to offer more to the assistants. I really don't like the large reduction in buyout...why the fuck would our Camping Director do that shit???  It makes me wonder if the guarantee was also reduced greatly.

Every time I read Gilbo's shit I wish someone would punch the bastard.

And the comparison to Hallman is laughable!

In all of his exhaustive research and meetings on how to organize shit at USM, he has failed miserably by repeating history.  How can he not know about rewarding mediocrity and how it was a part of the dire situation he is saddled with now?  When I saw the Hallman reference, I thought I might puke.

Re: New four year contract for Jay Hopson

This is not an extension. Miss law only allows for a 4 year contract for coaches. This is a brand new 4 year contract that was reworked. He gets an additional wuarter of a million for assistants. The buyout is much lower which helps Jay if he gets a better offer and decides to leave. Comparing Jay's recird to hallmans is comparing apples to oranges. It's stupid. But it's just AD speak to the masses to get them on board with this. But most of you here know it's bullshit.

You could apply that question to the whole damned thing. I guess you have to compare Hopson (and Dawson) to the coaches other CUSA teams trying to cheap out have hired, like Bob Toledo at Tulane or Neil Callaway at UAB, or Ellis Johnson for that matter.

Dawson has been on Kentucky's payroll. Now we have to pay him.

Exactly, and it's not like someone else is taking a pay cut. So the pay pool for assistants has to increase, and Dawson's the obvious reason why.

Unless something has changed since I talked to the people who handle public records requests at USM last month, Dawson's been working without a contract at the $50,000 / year rate that USM was always paying him.

Re: New four year contract for Jay Hopson

Curiosity pushes me to ask, why are so many against this??  We tried the coach carousel and went zilch and 12.  Took 3 years to recover. Budget is sad, same folks bitching do not give a dime to enhance budget.  So we bitch about a coach delivering a winning record on a high school budget??

What did I miss???  ‘Maybe’ ‘possibly’ ‘if’

Not sure if serious...

0-12 was not a carousel, it was a failed effort to appease the idiot half of the big donors.  Winning record and some bowl games is what got us into this mess along with some small time thinking many years ago.  My gripe is that Gilbert's comments resemble RG and that's just scary.

Can't help you with the bitching folks that do not give a dime...gave 45,000 dimes last year and on target for 61,000 dimes this year not counting tickets.
