Coach too Duquesne??

[YsuPride]

With a win and Dambrot retiring at end of season I wonder if Calhoun would be interested. They pay Dambrot $1 million a year.  Yes Google it. 

[YSUGO]

Good info but Dambrot had a better resume to get that kind of  money.  But  I bet he leave for 450 to 500k a yr and it’s a better conference etc

Dru Joyce Duquesne assistant will have a shot at the job.   I'm sure he joined staff and followed Dambrot from Akron knowing when Dambrot retired he would be given a chance at the job.

I don't think that is a good fit for him

He needs to be recruiting not interviewing.

I would’ve thought he next move would be to the major programs (I.e. power 5).
May be SIU is willing to offer him $$$. Money talks.

I had saw Coach Calhoun mentioned somewhere about the Duquesne job, but it appears their assistant is in line for it.

I see WVU named Drake's coach Darian DeVries as their new coach.  I really thought all along Calhoun would have a shot there, but I'm sure how Huggins ending turned out changed that trajectory.

Looks like Southern Illinois' coach was making $475,000 a year

Calhoun hax done a good job here let’s say great job.  But what hurts him is not getting us to the dance yet which hurts him for the power 5 jobs.  SIU might be a stepping stone for that.

Good point YSUGO.

I agree with the first part, but is SIU really that much different than YSU?  They did make the tourney 3 straight years in 1993-1995 then 6 straight years from 2002-2007 and made the NIT the following year; however, they haven't been in either since.  Their coach is coming off of 3 straight winning seasons and I said above was making $475,000 a year.

How much more is that than what coach makes now?  just wondering!  I still think he gets another oppotunity with a major program!

He makes $300,000 base salary through  the 2027-2028 season, but there are a lot of bonuses in there.  Here's the contract https://ogden_images.s3.amazonaws.com/www.vindy.com/images/2023/03/31094720/J.-Calhoun-Contract.pdf

Call me old fashion, I don’t understand this. If he just signed the contract extension till 2028, what was he doing to interview for another mid major program already.

When Tressel signed his contract, he had an escape cause for Big 10 (specifically Ohio State). He incited at the time, if  he didn’t get the OSU job after interviewing, he would stay at YSU.

I agree, guess I am out of touch also. How can you expect the players to be committed when the coach is not.
