Re: Don Lucia steps down as Minnesota Gophers coach
Motzko:
tMel said it was his dream job for MTU. He left.
SCSU is 90 minutes from his family, he doesn't have to move them. I have co-workers that live that far away from work and commute.
That being said, he's not my first, nor second choice.

No one is saying it is not possible.
But...just for the sake of argument...Motzko was at MN 4 years...Mel was at Michigan how long? 20+...
For me...the situation is not similar.

Re: Don Lucia steps down as Minnesota Gophers coach
Lots of bunched up panties in Stearns County these days.
Grab your Ski-Doo jackets and a sixer of Busch light and relax, Bloated Bobby isn't going to be offered this job.
But if he leaves for some other reason don't worry - my left thumb doesn't have much to do, we could throw a pair of glasses and a striped red and black tie on it and it will look like Motzko never left.

Re: Don Lucia steps down as Minnesota Gophers coach
The $650,000 is salary and retirement compensation. Doesn't include any other income. It was stated elsewhere that York is estimated to makes over a million of total income, not just his compensation for coaching.

Re: Don Lucia steps down as Minnesota Gophers coach
I chose not to say, because there is probably only one person on here who disagrees and that person is too obtuse to ever accept what I write, so it is not worth my time.
(obtuse: annoyingly insensitive or slow to understand)

Now THAT'S a top 5 worthy of debate.

Someone get this info over to Bierman. The guy who isn't willing to spend $5 to watch a game doesn't want Bob Motzko to be the new coach. I hope they don't move forward in the process without your input.

He's not my top choice, Skippy McGee.
There is a difference.

Well, didn't have to wonder why I don't poke around DI anymore for long.

Hockey camps, paid appearances, etc, brings in a bit of money.

Indeed.
Re: Don Lucia steps down as Minnesota Gophers coach
From a purely financial perspective, it sounds like a no-brainer to me. Why wouldn't someone want to more than double their salary? But to some people (believe it or not), there are considerations beyond simply the money. At some point it becomes a trade-off that he might not be willing to make. As we saw in Lucia's press conference, there are other things in life besides hockey (and I think it was obvious that he was very sincere).
Jerry York, who signed a five-year contract extension in Dec. 2013 that officially kicked in after 2013-14, officially lasts for another two seasons ('til 2019-20). York's base salary is $491,259. Combined with the payout of a longstanding deferred compensation plan worth in excess of $677,311, and $30K in bonus pay and other compensation resulted in a total compensation of $1,249,617. That total represents a 100 percent increase from his 2013-14 total compensation of $626,953.
By comparison, Don Lucia signed a two-year extension in Oct. 2016 worth $621,250 per year. The contract extension included increases in base pay from $350,000 in 2016-17 to $362,500 in 2017-18 and $375,000 in 2018-19 as well as increases in supplemental retirement contributions from $245,000 in 2016-17 to $250,00 in 2017-18 and $255,000 in 2018-19. Lucia's contract also included the following additional incentives: $5K for Big Ten coach of the year, $100K+ in bonuses if the Gophers have Big Ten and NCAA tournament success, four hockey season tickets and a parking pass, four football season tickets and a parking pass, and indoor club passes for the rest of his life.
This week the University of Minnesota has terminated the agreement and proceeded to "buyout" the remaining section of Lucia’s contract. Lucia will receive one-half of the base salary and one-half of the supplemental retirement payable for the remaining term of the contract.
Lucia signed a six-year contract with a base salary of $125,000 when he started at Minnesota 19 seasons ago.
Bob Motzko signed a six-year contract that began with the 2015-16 season and runs until 2020-21. Motzko's base salary under this current contract is $180,855 per year, with an additional $60,285 a year for work outside the season ($241,140). State of Minnesota income records showed that for the fiscal year ending June 2014 he earned $224,164 approximately 7% lower than his current contract.
