Should Brad Stevens take the Oregon job?

[warcrise]

have to be honest, I would.
$10 million over 4 years?!
Butler gives him $350k/year and there is NO WAY they can match that offer, they could probably only afford 1/10 of that offer.

I know a lot of people who think with their heart want Stevens to stay and take Butler to the NC game again, but be realistic.
Butler's a small private liberal arts school with 4,000 students in Indianapolis. Sure Indiana is a recruiting hot bed, but he'll never be able to get the big time players to come play at little old, Hinkle Fieldhouse.

The University of Oregon is endorsed by Nike, they play in the Pac-10, they have excellent athletic facilities. Brad Stevens can get McDonald's All Americans to come play for him there and STILL build his team around incredible defense, just with better talent. Plus he'll be coaching against the greats like Mike Montgomery, Ben Howland, Herb Sendek, Johnny Dawkins, Sean Miller and Lorenzo Romar on a regular basis.

I honestly think if Brad Stevens takes the Oregon job, he'll dominate the Pac-10 and possibly take the Ducks to a couple of national titles.

Stevens is making $400k a year. And quite personally. If I was making $400k a year and I loved the school I was at I wouldnt leave. They guy is making $400k a year there probably isnt much more that the guy even wants in his life. He has a family and is gonna put them first . And his kids are probably happy where there at. Coaches make a bunch of money either way. Stevens is a millionare either way. Making $400k a year. Not much more is needed for him really. He has Kylhe Marshall coming in next year. He is suppost to be an impact player right away. Reaching out to Florida to recruit him was big. And lets be honest any player Stevens goes after is gonna have talent.

[stealthyburrito]

he already signed a huge extension, 12 yrs. unsure of the value. so he wont go anywhere soon.

[CLASSIC ROCK]

yep this guy is different he's loyal

[Shelton]

now he should leave for the nba real money then back to college then back to nba then to tv then to college he's only a kid his got time

[youngerthree]

I don't think so.

[Cubs4591]

No way!!

Thats weak.

Signs point to yes.

[Fishhead]

Yes, hope he can avoid the sex scandels that have followed Doug and Ryan.

[sonnybaby]

[hhsilver]

Haha, biased maybe? Oregon Ducks as avatar picture...

[Robber]

besides oregon is not big time basketball.

[crazymilkman]

[suckerforparlays]

Thats weak.

HOLY SHIT you just said $400k is WEAK LMFAO MY GOD GeT A FKING LIFE Are you for real pleaes tell me your joking. $400k is weak are you a imbecile?

You must be a trillionaire to say $400k is weak lol

Your comment is weak. $400,000 a year is also weak when put next to a $2,500,000 a year offer that is on the table. Notice the extra zero?

To put it in layman's terms. Multiply your current income by six. Do you take the job if the work is the same?

Only a person without a job could get the answer wrong.

He can always leave and come back in the future when his pockets are breaking at the seam from so much coin. He could afford to move whatever friends and family he misses out to Oregon.

[jon13009]

He will stay as long as the players are there. Look out for when they are gone.

[sdtrader]

I agree he just signed a 12 year extension so I don't think he would go anywhere at the moment anyway

lmfao what more does he need to buy. I just lost all respect for you to now. $400k isnt enough money for you people lmfao. Get real bunch of greedy ****ing people a $400k salary isnt enough money for you guys lol. No one wants to coach and a program thats dead. Aaron Brooks was the last great player to come out of there and he is the last good player to every play at that crap basketball program.

I didnt no $400k wasnt a lot of money though. What cant you buy with a a $400k salary???? Stevens doesnt give a **** about $2.5 million he already has everything he wants lol. What more does he need. His family is happy where they are now.

It doesnt always come down to the money. He doesnt need anything else. He's happy where he's at. That extra 0 means nothing when your happy already and living a good life.

He doesnt wanna try putting some shit program back together that has no value in it right now. Why did so many of the best coaches in the country turn the offer down???????? Because its a crap ass program.

Getting the coach from Creighton was as good as it was gonna get for them. And that was suprisingly a good hire for them to.


And this is all coming from a guy who bets $20 to win $5 on a game.

[CrimsonQueen]

400K compared to 10M is weak. What can't you buy with a 400K salary? how about a million dollar house?

[bornselling]

Stevens goes after is gonna have talent

[eberetta1]

Suckerforparlays, I was willing to trade companies when the pay offered went from $19,000 to $26,000 a year. The bank would not let me buy a house in 1982 for my family on the smaller salary. The mortgage company said , you make this higher amount and we can work with you.

Uncle Sam gets half of a $400,000 salary, so now a person is down to living on $200,000 a year.

Time answers all questions. There are many,many coaches that jump at the chance to take a crap hole team and send them to a championship. How many coaches have gone to a Super Bowl with 3 different teams? Your 'He doesnt wanna try putting some shit program back together that has no value in it right now' does not hold water. The current Lakers coach comes from a different team that he took to the Finals in the NBA??? Coaches love a challenge. Mike Holmgren left Green Bay to jump start Seattle Seahawks.

Your argument 'He is happy where he is at.' has some merit. Being human, not many of us have the luxury of resting on our laurels. So I am sure, Stevens will find another challenge to take on.

And I have made several +$100 bets (betting Temple, Gonzaga, NY Knicks, Cleveland, BYU, Utah State). I have over $800 remaining that I have won in my gambling accounts after withdrawing $400 bucks. And I am retired for the last 6 years and I am age 49. So money is not one of my concerns. Maybe it is not a concern for Brad Stevens either. But one thing I know, a man with a family never has enough money....tell me I'm wrong.
Suckerforparlays, are you the one that said I should follow goldengreek and then you fade him in your bets???

Hey CrimsonQueen, thanks for the vote of confidence.

Everyone BOL and have fun.

I completely agree with you. If anyone wouldn't at least stop and raise an eyebrow at being offered a 625% raise, they are CRAZY.

[suckerforparlays]

Hey eberreta old man I tail goldengreek all the time he didnt make me any money last night though. I tailed him on the portland game. I dont post plays in the nba to often because I dont no that much about it I just follow the college players who go pro in it.

And Stevens is already a millionare. If you guys dont think he isnt already loaded out of his ass then thats a sad sad sad thing.

Oregon will never ever have a shot at winning a national championship. No point in going there no value there no anything.

[bradleysnyder]

i would say that would be a smart move

[jetsjets1028]

no he should not

[crazymilkman]

yes he should

[THEGREAT30]

thought Oregon already had a coach? Good day

[makaveli66]

Nope.
