I don't know what that is from, but Xavier doesn't disclose his pat and he isn't making $1.6 million. He started in 2009-10 and was initially hired well over $484k, so I'm not sure what that is or where it is from, but it isn't accurate.

 

Then tell us...if he isn’t making that then you know what he makes..

How do they keep coming up with that kind of money? Isn't the YUM center essentially bankrupt? Will they owe Pitino money? They must have much deeper pockets than they let on.

 

Yum Center isn’t bankrupt. Posted a profit last two quarters since refinancing after an upgrade in the bond rating.

 

Yes, they have lots of money.

I think Xavier knows what it is. Going to try to get 3-5 years out of rising star coaches.

I don't know what you're saying here, you think Xavier knows what he makes? Obviously. They are a private school, they don't disclose what he makes, and that attachment that ATM posted isn't close to right in any of those years. My point was I don't know where that link / info was from (edit: I see now he pulled it from the "USA Today" database which is likely accurate for Public Schools), but it isn't right (edit: it says the Private Schools were pulled from institution tax forms in 2015, but in this case, likely wouldn't include monies from the endowment that covers a portion of the coach's salary as an endowed position, that would have come through a Foundation).

 

This next hire will be the first MBB hire Greg Christopher has made since hiring Louie Orr at BG many years ago -- hope this next one goes better than that.

 

The Xavier "always hires the right guy" thing is out the window with a new A.D., this isn't Mike Bobinski hiring the next guy. Wish it was.

 

Impossible to know exactly what Greg will be looking for as his track record of hiring is spotty, but I'd think a guy like Tommy Amaker will check a lot of the boxes Greg will hone-in on. But again, that is more of a guess than a hunch, as, like I said, Greg is a wildcard here.

Until you all start watching doors and tracking flights, your rumor game is lacking.

Reading into this post, Mack is all but gone?

Hm, paves the way for Pitino to NKU to start his comeback.

 

I was wondering how it would play out. Glad to see you've got it figured out already, well done sir.

Oh, so you believe it when he says it? :lol2:

I would believe Mentsch over pretty much anything on twitter when it comes to rumors involving Xavier. I haven't deciphered if he was hinting that Mack is gone or not though. He more less said that a different AD will be making the hire as opposed to Bobinski making the hire.

You cant believe anything that comes from Louisville, the polling is always bad.

 

Obvious reasons why his post carry more weight, and furthermore, I asked a question, Didnt say I agreed with it.

What I meant was X is essentially what UC in football a stepping stone. They have been on an incredible run with rising star coaches. That ROI has been much more than what they are paying Mack is my guess. They can’t match UL’s 5 mill per year though. That’s all I meant by “they know what they are.”

They were a stepping stone job in the A10 and MCC, for sure. Slightly different animal now, which is why Chris has passed on a number of nice offers like Georgetown. He has 9 years in, and leaving for UL would be a no-brainer for him with a long-term deal.

 

No, Xavier can't approach $5 million per, certainly not.

Same here. Him and GT are why I still pay for this site.
