Contentious? Who? Me? It was my very "act" that kept things interesting and people posting during many an off season. 😉

You do realize that others on here are doing their own act? 🤩

In my defense, not being able to see your facial expression or demeanor when you posted this led me to believe you hold on to something that most have abandoned years ago.

My grandfather and his generation built this country and he was loyal to a fault.

All good Pops. I sincerely believe you are a very loyal person although contentious at times. Haha

Yeah, I am sure Turbonium understood.

I am extremely loyal. It's hard being a Marine and being raised by a war vet and NOT being loyal.

I was being facetious.

I think you are two generations behind when you speak of LOYALTY. JMHO

6. Infidelity or extramarital affairs in the United States accounted for 59.6 percent of divorces.

This statistic sums up LOYALTY in our country perfectly

[Turbonium]

Of course! Wouldn't everyone. It's called loyalty. Right?

Lol, almost spit out my morning tea.

For sure. You're right, D2 is clearly the best place and no player or coach should ever leave it. I'm sure you'd have turned down a 100k a year pay raise.

He made a logical coaching move, especially financially. An extra after tax $210,000 invested at 10% will be @$1,500,000 in 20 years.

Also Texas has no state income tax so another win. This isnt even a debate. You take this job 100 out of 100 times. He hit his ceiling at Valdosta and the job would have been more difficult this year with the transfer portal flux. All things being equal he has more opportunities with the portal to build quickly and show what he's got.

[Predatory Primates]

Even if you did poorly, it's 520k at 5%

You'd have to lack any and all self-confidence to have that attitude about such a possibility.

[Turbonium]

Depends on your priorities, tbh.

Clearly he wants to move up the coaching hierarchy, he did enough at Mesa to move on, and enough at Valdosta to do the same. Good for him.

[Techster88]

At the end of the day it's a lot better than any D2 job. Simple as that.

It is for sure. He has to be in the mindset to jump ship if he is fortunate enough to have a great season. HC Portal

[Predatory Primates]

One would have to be an absolute fool to turn down the opportunity and the money it comes with. To think it's not an upgrade is wild. Say he's there 3 years, that's experience at that level plus an extra $300k of income. Sounds like an easy choice.

Or he could've stayed, had injuries to key guys, had an average season and zero job offers.
