Both sides have valid points, Next November will be a time to look. But at some point doesn't he have to win more then he loses in a season?

Re: Choate's Contract
I agree! It takes 3 seasons to really start driving a program. That said, you better start getting hints that you are going down the road you want by then or in coaching you are going to be very uncomfortable these days with our instant gratification needing to be satiated.Go Scats Go wrote:Like every coach, I think you really don't get a good gauge until the 4th year...85CatGrad wrote:What will you do if Hauck has a losing season or two?

So, Robert is getting $325,000 to coach??? I didn't think he'd be coming back for warm fuzzies!!! Well, that will influence Coach Choates contract renegotiation after running the table in the BSC and getting into the playoffs with a young- experienced, and dominant team!!! Thanks to Robert, Jeff is going to make bank...and rightly so!

Re: Choate's Contract
Doesn't the BOR keep the contracts of both the UM and MSU coaches fairly close? I thought I read somewhere that the contracts for head football for either school will generally be the same due to the BOR or some governing body. I'm guessing the base and the totals incentives for both coaches is within 10k of each other

Re: Choate's Contract
Yes, this is true. But, the bump in the base pay for Robert will reflect in the bump in Choate's renegotiation next season. On a side note, I do like the incentive laden contracts for coaching!Grizaddict wrote:Doesn't the BOR keep the contracts of both the UM and MSU coaches fairly close?

Re: Choate's Contract
The Missoulian's addition is incorrect. Hauck's guaranteed salary with media guarantees is $240,000 and his maximum salary with incentives for 2018 is $339,000.

Story on Choate's contract
COACHING CONTRACTS: Montana State head football coach Jeff Choate
https://skylinesportsmt.com/coaching-co ... ff-choate/
Choate's bonuses are much more significant. For example, Choate would get a $50,000 bonus for a national championship compared to $30,000 for Hauck.
From that story:
Details of Montana head coach Bobby Hauck’s three-year contractChoate receives a $25,000 guarantee for a similar clause that also includes ticket sales campaigns. Choate’s guaranteed salary was $245,000 when he signed the deal on January 1 of 2016. Assuming the standard 3-percent raise each of the last two years from the state, Choate will make a guaranteed $256,500 in his final year of his first contract at MSU.
Hauck's guaranteed first-year salary is $240,000.

Choate's bonuses are much more significant. For example, Choate would get a $50,000 bonus for a national championship compared to $30,000 for Hauck.
From that story:
Each performance bonus will be paid in a lump sum to Choate within 60 days of attainment. If Choate were to graduate 100 percent of his players with a cumulative GPA of 2.75 and a perfect academic progress rating while beating an FBS team during a 10-win national championship season that included Big Sky Coach of the Year, the league crown and a win over the Grizzlies, the contract could pay Choate a maximum of $525,000. Ash’s full bonus amount in his final season totaled the potential to earn $446,038.

$323k? That's obscene considering how the academic and enrollment side is cratering. Most Wal-Mart fans like the AG1's don't donate anything to the academic side of universities.

That would be great since it has a direct correlation to school enrollment. It's not a coincidence that UMs highest enrollment numbers were when Bobby and the team wer making deep playoff runs and national championship appearances. There's a lot of data out there on this very subject that states people want to be associated with winners and that often times S hoolswill see a spike in student enrollment after the school football team or hoops team is in the spotlight on a national stage. I'm thoroughly convinced the Griz winning on the football field will not only put more butts in the stadium seats but also in the classroom.

If you are betting that Bobby will be key in turning around your declining enrollment, I think you will be sorely disappointed. The problems at um are far deeper that just having not won a few football games.
