As expected, Virginia sacks coach Merrill Moses. The Cavaliers offer the job to Coach Sims, and in another universe with another set of rules, I might take it and see if I could bring UVA up from the depths of the ACC. That's a story for another time, though.
Temple also offers Graham their job, after Oregon poaches Clayton Mintz. The Owls' prestige is slightly higher, 78-75, and they have a significantly bigger budget. But when I look at Graham's AD page, he receives a job evaluation that says "Your performance is the stuff of legends." I'm not walking away from that level of acclaim for a comparable job. Graham will return to Lafayette for year 10.
Recruiting coordinator Gregg Woods wants us to raise his yearly salary from $100,000 to $120,000. It's costing us quite a bit to keep the band together, but I bite the bullet and say "yes."
