I read an article the other day stating that TXSU Head Football Coach Make $300k. How can a school pay a coach that amount of money and they haven’t proven them selves to even come close to winning games. Valley is the hardest job in the SWAC and TXSU has more resources but yet still close in wins as them. 300k is a lot and the fact that Southern is paying their coach pennies compared to what he is worth is embarrassing.
 



Wow....Fobbs just made it to there and his first season he was 8-4 and since then he has been 31-2 in SWAC play....

Those "pennies" are pretty much the average salary for FCS coaches.
 
All I’m saying is that why is a school that haven’t reached the swac since if I can remember 2010 but yet paying $300k. I would like to see us start prioritizing our institutions when it comes to our facilities and players. HBCU can take over college football because we all have traditions of winning unlike the other conferences. We lead college football in attendance yearly because of tradition we just have to find ways to build our brand.
 
I know some people might be hot at McNair but Mike Haywood is definitely on the hot seat. A lot of people were fooled by TXSU in 2016 because they had a lot of close games with 75% of their schedule. However he inherited a team full of seniors. 2017 he struggled mainly on offense. This year he is going to have to make some noise. Looking at the schedule is not looking good. I see they should beat UT Permian Basin by 28. They would be a favorite to beat Valley and UAPB. I see AAMU and Alabama St. being toss ups because TXSU get them at home. I see them losing to Southern and Prairie View by at least 10 points. I see them losing to Alcorn and Grambling by at least 14. They will lose to Texas St. by 28 and Houston by 42. I have them being 4-7 at best unless they have an immediate fix to their offense. .
 
Agreed for $300k you better be winning the conference just like Fobbs. Many people don’t realize that paying all this money to a coach that don’t win just make the AD look bad. In AAMU case we fired a winner just to hire a guy that couldn’t win a football game to save his life.

Yeah thats the season when they celebrated being the first team to score at Panther Stadium. They won swac in moral victories that year
 



My opinion: I think Haywood under estimated the SWAC. He has made his share of mistakes with our roster. He has had to start over from ground zero with this program. The lack of winning tradition and facilities don’t help when you try to recruit kids from this area. We have spent money on our football locker room, practice field, and practice equipment (sleds football dummies) in recent years, but we still have ways to go. Not to mention the SWAC West has been a pretty tough division the last two.

Actually above average. Most of the FCS head coaches make below 150K. Those like JMU, NDSU make bottom tier FBS money with incentives but most would be glad to take those "pennies" Grambling, Alcorn and Southern are paying lol (Side note: Broadway had a base salary of 285K last year)

Considering the OOC performance of SWAC coaches, do all seriously think they are worth those over-inflated #s? smh Defeating regional counterparts @ our level AND regional d-1 fbs'ers has been slight contention to me. ull, latech, rice, smu, uofh (yep, them too), txst, utsa, utep, ... they should NOT be beating our schools, imho.

However, I DO like what I'm seeing and hearing from SWAC schools, top to bottom. It's going to take awhile to continue to ascend from the hole we placed ourselves in when we didn't place athletics and athletic facilities as a priority but I do like what I'm seeing (and hearing, recruiting wise).

I'll take a look in a few but if some can, post your schools' OOC performance fall 2017 and what staffing/recruiting changes occurred from last season to now . PV's had the following:

L to slc fcs playoff part. shsu 31-44
L to slc fcs playoff part. nicholls st 13-44
W over Bacone 34-17
W over slc iwu 42-28

2-2 OOC and we made an entire coaching staff change sans 2; better recruiting.
 
"rice, smu, uofh (yep, them too), txst, utsa, utep, ... they should NOT be beating our schools, imho."
I cannot agree with that. Talent and coaching at those schools has been better than ours for a good while. Now...could great coaching get some swac schools, like PV, to beat those schools there? Personally, I think so. But it's a business. Pay the coaches well within what you have and demand results. Throw them on the carousel at 4-5 and out like everyone else. Market your games like nobody's business. Try. Just try.

Talent and coaching at the schools I highlighted aren't much better, if at all, than our better basketball programs in the SWAC
