Paying OC's and DC's $70k is just absolutely ridiculous for D1 coaches. You can't win with bad coordinators, or with constant changes to those coordinators. Imagine yourself as a General Manager of X business that is expected to compete and produce great results. You may be a great GM making a six figure salary but they tell you that your sales people or "producers" can only be hired on for $18k a year, or about $9/hr and no commission. The talent pool is pretty weak if that is all you can spend. From time to time you may get lucky and find a talented individual that produces. The problem is that they will bolt for another company, and better pay, the first chance they get. <br /><br />So it is with our FB team right. We can never hire quality assistants, and when we find ones that have the talent they leave for better jobs like Martin our productive OC from last year did. We also lost our Offensive Line Coach to UNM for the same reason. Until we pay assistants more money, we will continue to lose.<br /><br />It is unfair to judge Walker given the salaries that he can pay his assistants.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-35044853207908853462012-10-22T09:37:20.109-07:002012-10-22T09:37:20.109-07:00

You get what you pay for. <br /><br />This program is being run on a shoestring budget with a skeleton crew. Why are some fans calling for Coach Walker to be fired? Maybe the NEXT AD can hire a wizard or magician to circumvent these monetary facts and the refusal to commit to this program. <br /><br />Worse yet, there are actually Aggie fans that are angry because they believe we should be going to bowl games.
