CJM to Memphis

[Marshal Dillon]

Sometimes there is more to it than money.  I am hearing that they agreed on terms, except for one item:  facilities commitment.  Good for CJM.  He should hold out for a better opportunity.

I did not know about the facilities upgrade. That makes sense, you can't recruit with 3rd rate facilities. Plus, it shows that Memphis reallly is not serious about its football program. I understand that it's not always about money, but it is for most folks. Also, it depends on much you make at the time. If someone is making $40,000 in Alabama and are offered $80,000 in Alabama or Georgia, you can bet they are gone.

CJM makes enough that he doesn't have to worry about money.

I have no idea if the facilities thing is accurate, but I saw it somewhere.

I think any logical, sane person has to wonder why someone turns down a job where they might double their salary. Have you turned down a job offer for twice your salary? Most people have not.
 

Yes, but like SC, sanity may be the issue.  However, those offers disappear after age 60.

I'm assuming Memphis still plays their games at the Liberty Bowl. It's in a very crime-filled location, and crime in Memphis is a lot worse than crime in most other pacles. For that matter, you would probably have to build a stadium in Millington to escape most of Memphis's massive crime areas. That is unless things have changed over the last 10-12 years.

They want a stadium on campus.  But the fans don't support U Memphis.  There were only 2,500 fans (yes, fewer than 3,000) at their last home game this year (vs Marshall).

Radio: "Memphis takes the field and the fan goes wild."

Chech, the fans do support U Memphis it just happens to be basketball.
