Let's roll with Trey and see what happens. They already hired a distance person with only high school experience and Trey has Olympic experience. Texas should have hired Leo Manzano as men's distance, Trey as Multi and Sanya as sprints coach.
You mean this coach?
https://gostanford.com/staff.aspx?staff=270Ben Thomas contract. 2year contract at $120k. Didn’t have to pay him too much.
Duck Coaches:
Johnson $350k
Thomas $120k
Taylor $112k
Henson $80k
Whitsitt $69k
Most accessible contracts I’ve ever found. Although not as much as I would have expected. Know some SEC schools have much higher averages for assistants.
I'd be interested in knowing how much Coach Thomas was making at Va Tech.

appears that Thomas was $91k at Virginia tech.
Thanks, all I could find was all the FB coaches pay info.

How much is Nike paying these guys as well? What is bonus structure? Ben will make over 200K this year. Curtis Taylor will make close to that. Erik Whitsit has been there longer than anyone but RJ, has had multiple NCAA champions and numerious All Americans and been a part of how many NCAA championship teams? Only making 69k base...
Ben will not make 200k this year. Bonus structure is good but not enough to get to that amount.
I’d love to see the contracts for Floreal and his assistants. My guess is all the assistants are on one year contracts so he can keep the pressure on them and make them feel that hot seat. Then this year, he’ll try to rope in his 1st-10th picks to be their replacements for next year...
Stanford and Wake throws, who has been contacted? last ones on the market.
Seems like Coaches News Network (CNN) is reporting some of the story. Patti was at Stanford and came in but did nothing, face it Edrick you talked big and missed, Plummer will be gone in a year and you can spend all year finding someone else.
So this is the week we find out who is going where? Hard to believe it is finally here, let's see who my university gets. They have only made us wait like 2 months. Why does the hiring process take so long? Whoever they hire is not signing a 10 year contract.
Does anyone know exactly why “no one wants to work for FLO?”
I mean most successful coaches are hard to work for but I’ve heard multiple times that no one wants to work for him yet no one has specified what he does that makes him a undesirable boss.
I’m not for not against what he’s doing at UT, I’m just curious to know???? Any feedback
A great head coach let's their coaches make the calls, good bad or indifferent. He those calls don't work out you simply fix what went wrong, or you lose the coach. Flo likes to take credit for the good and by take credit I mean take the athlete. If something goes wrong he blames someone else. He will interfere with training and planning for athletes. He does not promote the coach in the media doing well, just takes credit. He has his hands in a lot of different pots, including coaching pro athletes. Concentrate on the college kids you are paid to coach.

Every Oregon coach gets a supplemental stipend from Nike.
Crazy to believe, but that’s how it works. Allows Oregon to offer better contracts without appearing to break the bank on track in public
Thomas is making right around 200k with this stipend.
I’m not sure that’s true that every Oregon coach gets Nike supplement. I’m sure head coach does, I would imagine Taylor does given that he coaches some pro sprinters. I double Thomas will, but it is possible.

Nailed it! "Flo Knows"
Plus, he hasn't even proven himself as a good head coach. He lucked out with some Clemson transfers when he first got to Kentucky and was able to use Coach Hall to recruit Kentucky into a contender. All the SEC coaches recognize this at least...
What I like about the hire of Ben Thomas. Johnson was not intimidated, he did not say this guy might take the program to new heights. . He did not go with his friend, he went with a guy he really respected as a coach. So many coaches are afraid to go with a really good coach and person because they don't know them and feel they could lose their job to them. Aka a coach in the SEC and one or two hundred all over the land. Follow Johnson's lead and hire the best person for the program when it is available.
Example: Some coaches will tell their team we are going to get the best sports car for this program, someone who sets the program on a new level. If someone gave you a 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 405 with rebuilt everything, low miles great shape you would take it, but some coaches say " no that is too much car" and get intimidated by it. . So they opt for the 2010 mazda miata and tell people it is easier to drive and gets better gas mileage, has less miles, but is just as good as the Mustang.

There is no such thing as a 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 405. The Boss Mustangs were 302's, and the very rare 429.
