The women's team swims lights out at conferance and craters at NCAA's now the men are in a battle to finish 4th...
No one ever revealed the entire story behind Marsh's departure...interesting that Quick was brought in mid-season...takes the rains...and now we see the results...so...one more year or is he gone after this season?

When he negotiated his contract the year prior to his leaving....according to the one article....he was going to make $160K.....
A little different from Tuberville, who they say was making about $2.5 mil...and with Marsh being one of, if not the best coach in the NCAA swimming crowd....it just shows the difference in what sports colleges consider more important. You think Tuberville would be making $160K after winning that many NCAAs in his career?
I can't add anything at all concerning Marsh and his move. But do you really think comparing the salary of Marsh to Tuberville is remotely relevent?
I love swimming in all forms. I enjoy college football. Set aside for a second the financial size of college football.
A Division 1 head football coach supervises over 100 athletes. Probably a dozen assistant coaches. Recruits 25 players per year. Speaks publicly dozens of times a year. May negotiate big contracts with other schools, equipment suppliers, etc. Based purely on scope of job - a college football coach is worth far more salary than a college swimming coach.
I think many are paid obscene amounts of money. I have a general problem with the arms race nature of big time football. But that's happening because of money. And everyone knows that college football is BIG money. And college swimming is not.
