I would have to think hard about both of them if I got offered 6 figures, but it would have to be high 6 figures.Bill Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00121117922676676023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585582065992990003.post-77128657780669203772008-04-16T19:55:00.000-07:002008-04-16T19:55:00.000-07:00What if you got offered 6 figures to go to another...What if you got offered 6 figures to go to another region to do the same thing?

If Bill Self does not get an extension from KU and gets fired after another first round exit, the line forms to the left with the ADs who will want to give him millions of dollars. I understand what you are saying, but I think security is not the proper term in these days.Bill Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00121117922676676023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585582065992990003.post-5162431627491002302008-04-16T08:26:00.000-07:002008-04-16T08:26:00.000-07:00I understand what you're saying, and certainly the...I understand what you're saying, and certainly there's a huge gap between what college or pro coaches and pro athletes make versus what the average Joe makes. In my entire adult life I won't make anything close to six million dollars.<BR/><BR/>But when Self was talking about security, what he meant was job security. He wanted to know that the school was committed to him and wanted him around for the long haul. I think this quote gives a better understanding of what he meant in regards to security:<BR/><BR/>“Security is obviously important for anybody in this crazy profession,” Self said. “It’s a nutty profession. If we lose to Davidson, I don’t think there’d be too many Kansas fans concerned whether Self was back. I understand that."<BR/><BR/>If Self was truly wanting financial security, then there was a much larger price tag waiting for him at OSU. Do you find fault with him wanting to know KU is committed to keeping him around for a long time?Jason Yarnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620382476077495552noreply@blogger.com
