SAN ANTONIO — UTSA athletic director Lynn Hickey dodged a question Thursday night about whether she believes the university needs to pay its next football coach as much as Texas State will be paying newly-hired coach Everett Withers.

“I’ve got to hire a coach first,” Hickey said. “I’ve got to hire a coach first and then we’ll see what we can do.”

Withers was introduced to the media in San Marcos earlier Thursday afternoon.

At the news conference, Bobcats athletic director Larry Teis said Withers will be paid $650,000 in the first year of a five-year deal, with $25,000 raises each year.

UTSA hopes to hire a replacement for Larry Coker within the next 10 days.  Coker stepped down Tuesday after seven years, including the first five seasons for the Roadrunners’ football program.

Coker was making $425,000, the same as the previous Texas State coach, Dennis Franchione, whose retirement was announced on Dec. 22.

The UTSA contract for Coker was scheduled to pay $450,000 next year, $475,000 in 2017 and $500,000 in 2018.

UTSA plays in Conference USA, and Texas State plays in the Sun Belt Conference.

But the two once shared a long rivalry in the Southland Conference in sports other than football.

Since UTSA started playing football in 2011, the teams have played once, with the Roadrunners beating the Bobcats 38-31 in the 2012 season finale at the Alamodome.

The two schools will start an eight-game series on Sept. 23, 2017, in San Marcos.  They will play each year except for 2019 through the 2025 season.

Translation:  We are turning over every single couch cushion on campus, and then we have to run to the coinstar... but we do know that at least $10,000 a year of it will be in KFC Double Down sandwiches, that is a firm commitment.

They really should have spread those out over time instead of just delivering a panel van full of them all at once...

 

ETA:  The Double Downs were $5/ea.  $10k would buy 2000 of them.

Assuming each sandwich is an average of 5"x4"x2" then each takes up 40 inch3, 2000 of them would take up about 46.3 feet3.  

That's only a cube of ~3.5 feet per side.  No way UTSA can get Mangino for that small a volume of Double Downs.  

 

ETA2: 

A small UHAUL cargo van can hold 245 feet3.

Assuming simple packing, that is ~10,600 units, or about $53,000 worth of Double Downs... UTSA can probably swing that.

Damn C, I dont know what's more noteworthy- the thought behind the # crunching or the time you had to pull it off.

good to see the Muntheinator over on RowdyTalk trolling them

Lol, he's ruffling those KFC feathers over there. I think one of them called us, "North Texas Teachers College"! I guess we finally shook off the "NTSU" label.

      A few HSO's

      I was kind of hoping this HSO thread would help me get over the hump and renew the two season tickets I’ve had since the days of dirt at Fouts Field and the old cement urinals there. Unfortunately I, probably like some others, can’t seem to generate any old fashioned enthusiasm for the new version of “ here today gone tomorrow, pass through jocks . Somehow there just seems to be a missing piece; commitment, loyalty, alma mater. Yesterday’s discarded intangibles. Well, today is deadline day, can I break an old habit?

      I gave you a +1, but I also suspect he would not get along with the Grants and Ross's of our world. Would be loads of fun and wins, though.

      Best BBQ in each Texas college football town

      For anyone who hasn't experienced the greatness of Hutchins, you should treat yourself the next time you are in either Frisco or McKinney. Some of the best brisket I've had (and other good stuff too). And... since UNT has expanded into Frisco, I guess we can claim Hutchins as a UNT BBQ place 😎

      A few HSO's

      There’s no contradiction. The average fan/alumni aren’t paying NIL, it’s the big donors and corporations. And they’re only doing it because that’s the way it is under the current, broken system. My 2nd point is that comparing college coaches with college players is neither a fair nor equal comparison.
