Trev needs to open the bag and pay him….if there weren't already incentives in contract for winning a Natty they should give him $100K bonus. Then re-structure contract with big-time increase in base. He's actually proven himself. We gave Elmo huge raise and he hasn't won any championships or even a bowl/playoff game

Trev knows and loves volleyball... it'll be done guaranteed!

I'd be surprised if we don't see an extension/raise coming his way in the coming months. Like mentioned in a comment before this one, Trev loves Volleyball (Nebraska Alum and former AD). Having good women sports is something we NEED. Softball is looking good, track is consistent, let's go women's basketball!

I saw a graphic of top program expenditures and was surprised A&M was up there. I know we overpaid for Bird Kuhn but wasn't sure how much Morrison and the staff made. I hope we keep every coach for the next 2-3 year as we rebuild the roster. Need to sustain this momentum for a while.

You should go watch all the press conferences from this tournament run and specifically listen to Jamie state why he came here.

My guess is after you do that One, you will not be concerned with having to start a thread like this.

I thought I saw he was one of the coaches getting a new contract last month but I suspect we should still add 50% to that now.

Anyone know what his contract was when he came here?

Hard to get the contract details. I don't think you can use FOIA/Open Records to get it because it isn't a high enough amount. 2023 payroll data shows $172k, but i think that is calendar year not academic year data. Also think he got a raise/extension last year.

From what I can find, Elliot at Texas is at the top with 800k base + incentives. Nebraska is about 700k plus bonuses. Drops pretty quickly to around 400k. It wouldn't take a lot of dollars to make him close to the top. Not sure he is there yet, as the coaches at the top have multiple natties.

I heard or read somewhere that he is making $250K but I don't know if there were incentives for winning the SEC, making the NCAA tourney, making FInal 4, winning a Natty, etc. I'm sure there were. As said, Trev came from Nebraska and he knows the potential of VB actually being a revenue generating sport. He will do whatever I'm sure to keep Jamie….cannot let a Natty coach leave.

Agree not worried at all. Listen to any interview and Jamie gushes about the 12th man. He wants to sell out Reed. I want a game in Kyle Field. He wanted to build a program and believes A&M can be like Nebraska. I believe Jamie will be here as long as we continue to invest in the program at a level needed to build it into a powerhouse. And I'm confident Trev will continue to support the program.

Volleyball has the ability to be a revenue sport

It would be awesome for that to happen but with only Nebraska in the black as a program it will take years for that to happen if ever

That said the national championship should bring a new fan base just like it did to Texags for volleyball and we have one of the coaches I think that could do it but it would be a tall order

bump this up to a mill a year and hit the bonuses with a 5x

Idk what the national average is for women's volleyball HCs, but Jamie should be top 3 highest paid if not the highest.

Buy season tickets people!

The top end is around 800k base for tu HC with multiple NCs.

Prior Nebraska HC earned a little over 900k with bonuses in 2023 before retiring.

I don't think there is a need to reset the market like that just because we won our first NC. Can easily get to top 5 with around $500k (maybe $600k, as the numbers are a few years old). That is probably about where it should be. UK coach is about there with 1 NC.

As for bumping the bonuses, I'm totally on board. I like the idea of heavy incentive contracts. A base of ~500k with bonuses that approach 1 mil for another NC would be cool with me.


Of course, it isn't my money.

I can't remember exactly how much Bird Kuhn made but I seem to remember it was ridiculously high in the top 10 for some reason. We need to show Morrison that we want him here for the long term. He has high aspirations for elevating the game of volleyball in the sports world here in the US. We need to always be at the forefront of that effort.

Kuhn's base was $280,000

Morrison's base is $305,000 for 2026
