Why would an assistant from a big time winning program or a successful mid-major coach take that job? Opportunity for an assistant. There still are plenty of individuals out there who think they're head coaching material, and cocky enough to think they can win at Fordham. Compensation for a mid-major. If Fordhamm came to a guy like Cluess and said; we'll handle the buyout, and pay you 850,000 base per year for 5 years, he'd be a fool not to take it. Whether he thinks he could win or not! A fool? If he is content where he is and the bigger bucks don't matter, why is he a fool? We don't know what his priorities in life are. From your perspective he would be a fool. You don't live his life though.

From what we know about Tim Cluess and his life experiences I feel he is not about the money, but rather about being challenged and happy. He has it pretty good right now. For those of us on other side of 50 your priorities usually start to change and you have a different perspective on things based upon life experiences. In my opinion the Fordham situation is a no win unless it is just a money grab. I expressed previously that Fordham needs to get their act in order before that program can attract a coach that has a chance to succeed.

Surprised masiello isn't being mentioned for fordham. Would think if they're looking at Baggett they would like at Mas too.

Did he graduate from Fordham? We don't know what he wants.

The Fordham job is horrendous. I don't care how much they are offering. If Cluess needed to take the Fordham job at $1 million to fund his retirement as he enters the sunset, I would wish him well, feel a bit badly for what he's going to have to deal with and move on. I couldn't even get upset about it. If the local YMCA team offers him $1 million to coach their team and he left I would laugh. If all he wants is more money and is willing to deal with the problems that place has, God Bless him.

We don't know what he wants. But the fact remains his wallet got a little fatter! This is a business to these guys, and an obsession to us fans, something to keep in mind.

Word is that toole turned down fordham because they lowballed him on salary offer. If true, fordham really is run by a bunch of out of touch clueless admins. They should know that they need to pay well above market rate to get a winner over there.

I'm with ghostofwillard on this.... Good for you! What are you with? The part about coaches wanting to go after $$$$ ( that we all agree with) or the part about Cluess being A Fool if he doesn't take the Fordham job for more money ( which I said he might have other reasons). Which one or both Tiger?

Can that program be run any worse?
