Scottie hazelton to Michigan state

The goal for most coaches is to be a HC someday. Don't think Scottie wants to be a HC. There's a reason he's only spent 2 years at every stop.

I agree with you. I've heard Scottie doesn't like to recruit. Maybe someone in the know can dispute or confirm.

someone offers to double your personal salary (whatever it is...) and you’d say no? Make that new salary a million dollars per year at a leading company in your field of employment...gone! End of negotiations. No difference in the coaching profession.

I haven't followed it close enough but if his salary doubled and he now has the potential to make a cool million as a d coordinator then good for him.

According to The Forum, the 419,500 included all of the incentives in his contract for next season. Something is amiss though when they say the incentives top out at 44,500 which would be 424,500.

So he basically got Kliemans 1st year contract. Klieman made way more by the end though because his media fee went up 5k per year (extra 20 grand year 5) he got a minimum of 3% which is almost 10 grand a year and he got another 50 grand if he was coach after 4 years.

Wish they started Matt a little higher. Would like to see the bar raise every year which is good for attracting quality coaches. Hope we continue to raise the other coach salaries too. Need to be comparable to most G5 schools. It's impossible to compete with power 5 but it was annoying to lose a coach like Polasek to a MAC school.

Reports are that Klieman is staying in-house and will promote Klanderman to DC.
