If tekininininini wants to continuosly demonstrate what a jerk he can be, I'm not going to stop him. Paying attention to him just puts a hand in the sock puppet...why bother?

Lansing State Journal

Michigan State women's basketball coach Joanne P. McCallie signed a new contract Saturday that includes a raise of nearly $100,000 per year.

MSU athletic director Ron Mason said the new deal was not in response to other schools trying to lure the coach away, but rather was part of her yearly postseason evaluation.

McCallie had been rumored as a candidate for the Florida and Louisiana State jobs in recent weeks.

Instead, McCallie will stay and see her base salary increase from $232,875 this past season to $325,000 for next. With other compensations - for example the money she receives for doing her radio show - McCallie's salary will be $500,000 per year.

Incentives, based on things such as success in the NCAA Tournament, can drive that figure up to $643,000. Those also increased with this deal.

but deleting his posts removes all temptation...

I don't really want to have a drawn out discussion oin this...but deleting posts from people who aren't capable of being reasonable is a waste of time...they typically just ratchet up their posting level and that just creates more hassle and work.

Besides..I'm hesitant to pull a post that doesn't invovle obscenity, defamatory language, threats or is otherwise completely inappropriate.
The post in question was annoying, but it didn't seem otherwise objectionable by those standards.

Sorry it wasn't Carolina Blue Curt Miller was wearing in Greensboro, it was Nittany Lion Blue.

Penn State would put him closer to his family one reason he liked BG six years ago Hope the powers that be can open the vault really wide to keep him if not we had a GREAT time with him & his senior class it would be a hard act to follow where do the assoc. head coach & assistants go?

Penn State will likely hire Suzie McConnell Serio one of the best players ever to play there and former coach of the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx.

Miller is not even on the radar at Penn State. I think he'll be stomping the court at AA next year, but if he were to leave, the most likely destination seems to be Louisville at this point. None of the other opening really make that much sense to me. Just because a job opens somewhere doesn't mean he's automatically a candidate. There are many other factors to consider.

if BG wants to keep him they will have to try really hard and I think they should. he's an amazing coach, and i would love to have him stay. but as mentioned other (bigger) schools will be able to pay him more, so we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed and hope!!

Crazyfan-

Were you aware that the great Shankly quote in your signature refers to soccer? Still a great quote and applicable to many a sport, I just thought it to be ironic considering some of the natives feelings towards the beautiful game.

Actually it makes the most sense for Curt to leave this year. His stock will probably never be higher. He would be missing a serious career opportunity if he doesn't. Look at Bob Lindsey at Kent and Mark Ehlen at Toledo. They were the "mid-major coach of the moment" a few years back and they decided to stay put or...didn't get any offers.

I think Curt has a serious decision to make...leave BG for a "big time" program where he will be paid handsomely but with big time pressure, or stay at BG and coach another 25 years and raise his family in Northeast Ohio. There are no guarantees with either scenario.

One guarantee is that if he stays in BG, he won't be living in Northeast Ohio.

Obviously, somebody, who's name won't grace this post, must care about the Lady Buckeyes. Why else would he have commented? It seems the success of little BG vs the failure of OSU bothered him somewhat.
