Mo Money, Less Problems

By Yoni Cohen on Thu Oct 11, 2007 at 05:19:36 PM EST

Gary Parrish's column on Dan Monson's decision to leave Gonzaga for Minnesota casts the coaching carousel in a new and important light. Too often, we critique coaches who leave smaller schools for bigger programs, only to struggle in their new environments. Few among us would reject a new job that provided for a thousand percent raise -- even if we knew we would after several years be fired from that job.

Truth is, Monson -- now back in the less-stressful world of mid-major basketball here at Long Beach State -- did what many reasonable people would do in similar circumstances. He weighed the possibility of sustaining success at Gonzaga with a $125,000-per-year salary against the possibility of achieving success at Minnesota with a contract that was essentially guaranteed for a total of $7 million.
