Mack Gets 2 Year Extension

[X-man]

Hate to say it, but Dayton pays Archie Miller more than that.

X HAS to pay Mack more.

Unless Miller got one helluva raise, that is manifestly untrue. In the year that Mack received just under $1.2M (the 2013-2014 time period before the one I just posted above which is for 2014-2015), Miller's total compensation was just under $700K. This is an apples-to-apples comparison from XU and UD's 990 forms. For the record, Jay Wright's total compensation at Villanova for that same time frame was about $2.4M. Unless Wright got a $600K bump, he is not earning double Mack's salary. But he does earn substantially more. However the cost of living on Philly's Main Line is just a tad higher than it is in Cincy.

That 1.42 was for the 14-15 season. After he got that team to the sweet 16 I'd bet he'd probably have been at least in the 1.6 range for last season. Hopefully he's up around 1.8 for this season. He should be.

He's not at $1.8mm this season. Closer to the $1.6mm number.

X-man, unfortunately, you're wrong.

Are you accusing UD of submitting false information to the IRS? My data came directly from their publically available IRS-990 form. Look it up for yourself. And if there is other (nonreportable) compensation that schools may give to their coaches, why assume that UD does it but not Xavier?

The schools that Mack would want to go to smirk at that number. Someone like Louisville would offer 4 million and thats on the low end.

yeah, but........don't you think some of this has a lot to do with Coach Mack getting paid what he believes he's worth AND closer to some of the other top coaches in the league and in the country? There's a reason why guys like Jay Wright and Mark Few and a handful of other coaches who elect to stay in their jobs and NOT take the "bigger" opportunity with more $$$. It's b/c they are getting paid what they are worth AND they love where they are.

Yes and no....I agree that getting paid what he feels he is worth will keep him away from looking at schools like Cal or a place like that. However, in my opinion, it really isn't going to matter if someone like Louisville, Duke or UNC comes sniffing around.

One day Rick Pitino will be let go from Louisville and I think Mack will jump.
We shall see but he is here at X for now!

Louisville will have a massive list of suitors......and they will want and get a BIG name. UK has Calipari....for now. They will want and demand a very high level guy. Will Mack get a look....sure he will? But he will not even be close to their top 2-3 initial guys.

During their scandal last year, when they thought they might have to fire Pitino, Mack was their number one candidate. Even reached out to him through back channels....

According to a source who I'm sure is oh so reputable. (If the source on him being the #1 choice isn't Tom Jurich it's not reputable.)
