Al,
I'd like to read your thoughts on how this football program has been able to win 19 games in the last two seasons?

I beef about BigAl sometimes, too. But I don't see this as a slam. Coaching salaries, recruiting budgets, etc., all these things could use a real examination. I'm OK with letting guys walk from time to time for money, but we need to be willing to open the wallet for guys like Ellis Johnson.

You don't think we've done that already with Ellis?

I guess I've read 25 or so...most trashing Al or worshiping the YES god. Additional money and a program of that nature was needed but our mishandling of communications over that period cost us 1/3 the Gamecock Club....some were going to g anyways, due to the doubled cost of tix but that was handled with the finesse of a Panzer tank. The SHAME of that loss was magnified by the first expense being 50 MILLION on an AD building and tennis courts which a football recruit never sees nor would care about if he did see.
Good question Al and could have been a good discussion. Over the past 20 years we probably have cheaped out on Football Coaching salaries which primarily cost us in the 90s. Lou attracted good assistants but SOS didnt so I dont think money was a factor since 2000. SOS' 1st staff was awful.....please recall the (stand upright/3 point) DL deal plus the ST guy and and the awful selection of an OL coach. Our first staff still affects our success and byt that I mean the OL.
So if you are talking history...YES
If recent history and the present...NOT likely

and given the money we receive each year by virtue of our membership in the SEC, is there a good reason why we couldn't spend as much money on our football staff as Bama or LSU?
I wonder how many prospective head coaches we've passed on due to money. I wonder how many of our coaches have been hamstrung because they were unable to hire the assistants they wanted due to money.

Seems like a bargin to me, we beat Bama with a "cheap" coaching staff. I clip coupons too.

I do not expect to lose any coaches because of money but if we do I have a real problem with YES being implemented. Note, YES was implemented on football seating and not other sports so football should get the majority of the money generated by the YES Program.
