        Been to both. Frostburg is much more "free" (if that makes sense). Shepherdstown is very concerned about matching house color combinations, street ordinances and building height restrictions.

        • Fitzgerald was making roughly $115k at Frostburg. Not sure what McCook makes at SHep.

            Looked it up, made ~106K in 2019

            • If it was McCook, and that's a big IF, he could also be negotiating to get more money from Shepherd.

                That would make sense. Shepherd should do whatever they have to in order to keep him there

                  He and his family are just so entrenched there that it would make no sense for him to take a position at another D2 school in the region. If a FCS team ever comes knocking, that could be a different story.

                    If I had to guess ... that would be it.

                    He should be getting much more than $106,000/year based on his success, etc. . I'll assume that's up a bit since 2019, but ...

                      To be fair, 2018 was his first season as head coach, but yeah. I'm in favor of paying the man.

                        In the business world, 2018 was a long, long time ago. His value is much different today. He should easily be negotiating up in the $150,000 range. Gotta strike while you're hot.

                        Look what James Franklin just did at PSU. His agent floated out rumors about USC, LSU, etc. It worked. PSU shelled out the cash to keep him. Much different scale here in the bus leagues, but I'd guess this is the same concept.

                        Unless Frostburg could completely 'wow' him with an offer, no coach around is leaving Tyson Bagent and a traditional regional powerhouse.

                          Didn't he already leave Shepherd once?

                            He did, but that was a very different situation. His family wasn't as entrenched, and he didn't stay away long when he did leave.

                              It's not like they would be moving across the country. Less than 90 miles between Frostburg State and Shepherd. I would proffer that it will come down to dollars and not just salary $'s. Assuming McCook is even in the running, Frostburg will make a package offer and I would imagine McCook will go back to Shepherd and ask them to give their best and final offer. Of course, that assumes McCook is at the top of the Frostburg list which he may not be. As stated previously, Frostburg is a very desirable position for any number of coaches.

                                Please, if mccook wanted it, fsu would be stupid to not go with him. It makes no sense given the family dynamic.
