A friend of mine posted this on another site and I thought it worthy for you all to see and discuss as well.
Just for fun, here's the salaries of the SEC hoops coaches.
1. John Calipari, Kentucky, $3.9 million
2. Billy Donovan, Florida, $3.5 million
3. Bruce Pearl, Tennessee, $2.4 million
4. Anthony Grant, Alabama, $1.8 million
5. Mark Fox, Georgia, $1.3 million
6. Trent Johnson, LSU, $1.2 million
7. Rick Stansbury, Miss. State, $1.2 million
8. Kevin Stallings, Vanderbilt, $981,000
9. Darrin Horn, South Carolina, $800,000
10. Andy Kennedy, Ole Miss, $800,000
11. John Pelphrey, Arkansas, $795,000
12. Jeff Lebo, Auburn, $750,000
What does this say? Where should we be? Discuss among yourselves.

It says we are paying too fucking much.

:rimshot:
Beat me to it.
Lebo isn't cutting it. The top paid coaches have all earned their due and won ball games. Lebo hasn't. Plus he has had 6 years to prove he can coach. He can't. He needs to go.

I didn't know we still had a basketball team?

We got uniforms and everything.

Roughly $725,000 too much, to be exact.

It means we need to hire someone worth paying a million dollars.

No - we need to hire someone that wins so we will WANT to pay him a million dollars.

ding ding ding.

We need a leader not a loser, Booooo.

That's what I was going to say. The fact that he is still the lowest paid coach in the league despite being in his sixth year tells you everything you need to know.
Bruce Pearl made $800,000 into the middle of 2006.
The new contract signed in 2006 averaged $1.3 million.
By 2008 he was negotiating a new contract that would average $2.3 million.
His current contract, signed just last year, is for 7 years, $21 million, or an average of $3 million per season.
See that....$800k, $1.3 m, $2.3 m, $3 m. That's a sure sign you're doing something right. Of course, Tennessee fired a guy that had won 20 games for four straight years right before Pearl got there. So apparently they care about their program. So maybe everything I just wrote about Pearl is irrelevant and only contributes to a discussion about SEC schools that care about their basketball program?
There is no reason I can think of that a new coach should be paid the same in year one as he is in year 6. If he hasn't earned a raise by year 3 or 4, don't you fire him?

I really dont know what the hold up is.....I mean, he was able to get Tubs gone pretty quickly and this Lebo cat is much worse than Tubs. WTF Jay?
