I disagree. The coach recruits the players, teaches more about the skills, and develops the strategy that wins the game. Try winning any multi-player game where all players have their own agenda. It takes one person to put them all together and that's called "Coach".<br /><br />You guys are crazy if you wouldn't jump at that opportunity. Besides if the salary at Charlotte was only 65K the guy has been living on beans and franks the last five years. San Fransisco/San Jose is a great area to live in. <br /><br />To put things into perspective around the salary, the Creighton's coach has a 10 year contract for $300K. I don't think our University can compete financially with the Stanford's, TarHole's, and Creighton's of the college soccer world. You can't disrespect a guy for wanting to do better for himself. <br /><br />Good Luck Coach, You'll always be a part of Niner Nation...unless maybe you go and coach the TarHoles.

It was apparent why she left and money had little to do do with her decision. After going far in the NIT and seeing smaller schools with 6000+ fans at a game, it was evident that Charlotte was not willing to support the program. Sad loss for Charlotte.
