The recognition is also putting Coach B up there as one of the more attractive head coaching candidates for a lot of schools. Already seeing Tulane, UNT, and Wichita State fans talking about him as top choices for their head coaching spots in 2026-2027.
I doubt we lose him after one year, but in today's college sports world who knows. He's very young and all of those schools have more money to throw around.
It is rare about 1 to 2%, but yes with today's volatility it is increasing.
I remember Coach Underwood interviewing every year of the 3 seasons he was at SFA. Right after the season was over he'd go on an interviewing tour it seemed.
When it does happen it is usually for a school they have coached at before or their so called dream job.
A place like North Texas could pay $700K but they have a first year head coach with Daniyal Robinson and Wichita State pays Paul Mills $1.7M in this his 3rd year.
And he is not impressing so far in those 3 years, he is signed until 2028.
15-19
19-15; NIT first round exit
12-8
So that will be a program to watch if Mills get's fired in a season or 2 from now.
