Woodward is the best there is.

Well, he tends to overspend and leave his departments hamstrung financially, but yeah, I guess.

From what I have heard over the years, the Baylor administration is probably saying, "oh darn."
More money for Scott Drew now.

So, let me get this straight in my mind.

Mullet said it was wrong of us to leave the Big 12 for the SEC....
But it's fine for her to do the same thing ?!?

We need to replace Blair with a superstar head coach not elderly and who our girls can actually hear on the court. It's clear our assistants are the main coaches of this team. We need to take advantage of Baylor losing Mulkey.

WOW!

I had some further discussions with one of Kim's family members. Her family is from the Alexandria, LA area and I am close friends to a cousin. Anyhow, he was telling me that LSU is matching the salary of Baylor plus incentives. Supposedly, Kim was making $2.5MM at BU. I assume this would be salary plus incentives.

I ran into a few roadblocks in my search, but I would assume that $2.5MM+ is the highest paid women's coach in the entire world, in any sport.

" But LSU's goal should be to win championships in every sport, especially a high-profile sport like women's basketball in which it has enjoyed great success in the past. Overall, LSU needs this win desperately in the wake of its still ongoing Title IX scandal. It needs to be able to say to the world, "We are making changes and making a huge commitment to winning in women's basketball." If Mulkey is willing to hitch her considerable star to LSU's wagon, it could be significantly symbolic for the entire school."

Assume gets u in trouble She is not the highest paid

Non-Mulkey related, but it looks like Ross Bjork is heading out on a United flight. Wondering if he's interviewing. Just an interesting tidbit.

it tells me either LSU doesn't think they'll get hammered by NCAA or Kim was really at odds with BU and ready to move "home".

maybe a combo of both? would LSU's athletic issues affect the women's basketball program? admittedly, i don't know much about what's going on internally outside of the football issues.

Bottom line to all of this is that LSU is going to get really good in a short period of time and we will all have to endure Mulk's tantrums on the sidelines at least twice a year!

she has calmed down alot since she showed out and NCAA came down on her ....

I hope you are right. I wasn't aware the NCAA called her out!

they have feds looking at title IX violations. NCAA looking at multiple programs. Again it might all end up amounting to nothing.

She'd have to play us at least twice a year. So much for no longer sleeping with your ex.

That's a revolting thought when it comes to Mulkey on SO many levels.

This is what they say she will get.....Mulkey was making a little less than $2.3 million at Baylor and is expected to get a boost to $2.5 million at LSU. That may not seem like a lot, but the amount is significant. It is the same salary LSU is paying men's basketball coach Will Wade, and bumps Mulkey past Geno Auriemma ($2.4 million) as the highest-paid women's basketball coach. Dawn Staley was previously the highest-paid coach in the SEC, making about $1.7 million per year (her pay is loaded with bonuses that can push over $2 million). Geno has a ton of incentives so they are neck and neck.....

Schaefer's annual salary starts at $1.8 million - Sherrie Coale made over a million....(she's gone)
Walz earns an annual salary of $1.15 million plus a $500 monthly car allowance

The highest should be Tara Vanderveer.... of Stanford she was making $2.279,608 plus incentives in 2016 ....she signed a contract after that for 6 yrs.. and a big raise to put her according to Yahoo news the highest paid women's coach.
https://heightzone.com/tara-vanderveer-salary/

Mulk is all about respect--she's never forgiven La Tech for not hiring her years ago! She's a great coach, you have to give her that--the proof is in the pudding---but she is really high maintenance from what I can glean from media reports and appears to always be one bad call away from throwing a chair onto the court!

She is already getting into the Mardi Gras spirit at her press conference.

Can't wait to see what 80s wear she has in her closet that's purple and gold.

Not looking forward to having to see her twice a year!

So you make a snarky response only to post later nearly proving what I stated, she is the highest paid women's coach in the world. Yes, Stanford coach should be more but you couldn't find it just like me.

Granted, I am not sure what women's futbol or cricket coaches make.

I know someone at Baylor. Kim liked to practice in the arena, not the practice facility. Baylor spent tens of thousands of dollars a year in man hours switching it back and forth from events to practice mode. There were lots of things like that. She was very difficult. They tolerated her bc she won.

My guess is that her ego could not handle the men's success. She knows that LSU is unlikely to ever pay coach K money to a men's coach.

You know things are bad when Mulkey is brought in to clean up your image

It is also my understanding she holds grudges and never forgets!

My thought: she's a great coach and recruiter. But she is also easily offended and mouthy. I'm okay with that. She might have to take whatever respect she gets grudgingly, but she is fighting for the pay part of respect she feels she has earned. Women won't be paid equally without fighting hammer and tongs to be paid AT LEAST equally.

LSU Tigers women's basketball coach Kim Mulkey's 8-year deal worth at least $22.5 million before incentives


Mechelle Voepel ESPN.com

New LSU women's basketball coach Kim Mulkey received an eight-year deal that will pay her at least $22.5 million before incentives, the school announced Wednesday.

LSU is also buying out her contract at Baylor, and will provide a personal travel allowance of $80,000 per year. The agreement is contingent on final approval by the LSU board of supervisors.

Mulkey's hiring was announced Sunday, and she was introduced in a ceremony at Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Monday. Mulkey was 632-104 in 21 seasons at Baylor, with three NCAA championships, a dozen Big 12 regular-season titles and 11 league tournament championships.

Mulkey, who turns 59 in May, has a base salary of $400,000. Her supplemental compensation starts at $2,045,000 in 2021-22, and increases yearly to $2,902,000 in the final year of the deal, 2028-29. There is additional sponsor-related compensation of $60,000.

There are bonuses for advancing through each round of the NCAA tournament, starting at $28,000 for a first-round win and going through $150,000 for a national championship game victory. Mulkey would receive $65,000 for an SEC regular-season title, $35,000 for an SEC tournament title, $15,000 for being national coach of the year and $10,000 for being SEC coach of the year. If LSU finishes ranked in the top 10, that's another $30,000 bonus, and ranked from 11-25 would be $25,000.

If LSU finishes in the top-10 percentile of the multiyear academic progress rate, Mulkey receives $13,000, and in the top 11-40 percentile, $9,000. She also receives a courtesy vehicle or vehicle allowance of $1,000 per month.

If LSU terminates the contract without cause, Mulkey will receive $2.5 million up until June 30, 2022. From July 1, 2022 on, she would get $2 million. If Mulkey leaves before the contract is finished, she would owe the school $2 million.
