Literally no one in Clemson cares about basketball. Its an indictment of Frank Martin that their mens recruiting has probably been better than ours over the last few years. Totally unacceptable.
I understand the point you are trying to make and don't completely disagree. But to make a fair comparison you would have to look at how much Dabo made in his second year at CU. His salary is where it is now because Clempson took a huge gamble on a relatively inexperienced coach paying him a pretty low salary and then struck gold with success and two titles thus driving his salary to where it is now. SC looks to be following a similar playbook. Let's hope the payoff is similar.
No we weren’t. We had been to an elite 8 seven years prior to DS’s arrival and five winning seasons in seven seasons prior to Dawn. Don’t get me wrong we were not great but we had our moments.
Did you just compare Dawn Staley to a cashier at McDonalds lol? That's more of an irrelevant comparison than your original comparing Beamer's 1st year salary to Dabo's 13th year salary.
You are penny wise and pound foolish in that assessment. Is DS overpaid as WBB coach, maybe in a narrow sense. Is she worth over 3M a year to USC? She’s probably underpaid.
One of the worst comparisons I’ve ever seen.
I hate to point out the obvious, but apparently some of you posters don't have foresight. If it were easy, our previous WBB coaches would have brought exposure to our WBB program. You see, Where I'm from, you pay for results. You have to earn respect, the past 13 years the amount of exposure and revenue that Dawn Staley has brought out University demands the type of salary she receives. Constant top 5 finishes, Multiple Final Fours, National championship, Multiple SEC regular season and multiple SEC tournament championships, National Exposure, Olympic champion, Global Exposure, Merchandise Sells and Endorsements. You pay for results. Nothing was given to her, SHE EARNED IT. If, Shane produces at least half of what Dawn has accomplished at USC, then his salary will reflect the respect due to him. Until then, kindly refrain from insulting one the University's greatest Ambassadors.
Now post revenue from apparel sells, shoe contracts for WBB and TV profits.
Better yet, post the Revenue and Expenses from Clemson's Women's Athletics Programs.
Couple of questions.No, not worth every penny. Complete waste of cash and a total drain on the athletic department. Idiotic.

Thank you for providing the link and the insult to a courteous question.
I think they've done this all season.
If all you care about is football, then that makes sense. I prefer a more well-rounded athletic program.
All I’m saying is outside sources get the big number right but don’t parcel out because it is an aggregate site for over 300 schools.
Yep, when both teams went to the final four, it was the first time for UA. They gave the athletic Dept. 10M to be split between the 2 programs. UA flogged the hell out of it.
Stupid comparison since that's not what they paid him starting out or what we paid Staley starting out. Both have been compensated related to their success at Clemson and Carolina. In both cases, the success came before the huge salaries.
LOL you're absolutely comparing what we pay Beamer now, to what Clemson pays Dabo now. Those are the two figures you used LOL. That is comparing a 1st year HBC to a wildly successful, 13th year, multiple championship-winning HBC. If in 13 years Beamer is still with us and has accomplished what Dabo has accomplished, I expect Beamer's salary to be very similar to Dabo's.
ening.
