I see.

I see. Thanks. Makes me wonder what the issue was with White & Oregon.

White's leaving Oregon was one of the biggest stories in softball last year along with mass exodus once Lombardi the replacement coach arrived. Google is your friend.

Money?

Unfortunately is usually seems to come down to money. Never mind the girls you recruited or promises you made to them.

But hey really stick it to the school your leaving and take some of the best players with you.

I’m curious if it was an extension thing where he was still under contract or contract was up and he was asking for the moon.

Not curious enough to go look it up but if somebody has knowledge feel free to educate me. (That excludes you WW.)

He got double the pay to go to Texas and a commitment from Texas to invest in the program. The former was probably the bigger part of the equation. What’s the guy supposed to do? If you won’t look out for yourself, who will?

I guess it’s a priority thing. If it’s me I would have negotiated a fair contract for me from day 1. After that the focus is on players and university.

These young ladies and families put their faith in you to be there and support them for four years. Not fair/right to just up and leave because your not happy with deal you negotiated.

I can’t fault the guy if contract was up and another school made a hard pitch to lure him away. Greed and the promise of something better will usually get you your person.

In many cases the highest paid state employees are college coaches. I get that when it’s a revenue generating sport like football or basketball thats making plenty of money.

In non revenue/low revenue sports it’s a head scratcher what some of these coaches are being offered/asking for.

If you rise to the top of your field, and someone comes along and offers you the moon to come and do what you do for them, you’d be a fool not to. It’s not like softball coaches make FU money. He went from $200k, to $400k.
I get what you’re saying about the girls committing to the school for him, after he recruited them, but that’s life. The ones that really picked Oregon because of coach White followed him to Texas.

But that didn't stop you from making a ton of assumptions and judgments about White as a person.

That’s your answer “that’s life”? Not good enough for me. Hey coach I had 30 schools to choose from and I picked this school for a few reasons and your one of them. Trust in me the way I trusted in you.

If another job came along and offered more perks, more power/say in how program is run I would seriously consider the offer. For the same position to uproot my life just for money I would pass.

I’m probably in the minority here but I’ll leave you with this. If I’m a MLB player I would take greater satisfaction in being regarded as the best player in my position than the highest paid player in my position.

Money doesn’t always mean the best. Many times it just equates to people over paying. Markets change.

If I’m an owner I’m giving one year incentive laden contracts. None of these multi year guaranteed deals with no motivational lingo.

Just being cynical I reckon. Not judgements just perception of what goes on in the coaching world these days.
