Not hearing about any jobs coming open yet. Usually we start hearing some grumblings of movement. Couple of jobs I could see some movement on in the Power 5 is: Washington and Auburn. Anyone hearing anything?
Texas seems like an obvious choice although they might just keep Berque on, supposedly Roditi is angling for it.
Many rumors can be heard from Oxford, Ms.Rumors of a Top job potentially opening
If Mr. Frog Roditi is trying to get UT then that is him basically admitting he can't get it done at his Alma Matar. That in my mind would be a total failure at his time at TCU.Texas seems like an obvious choice although they might just keep Berque on, supposedly Roditi is angling for it.
Care to explain?Rumors of a Top job potentially opening

Yeah I just can't see him making that move. He seems to be very committed to creating a big tennis culture at TCU . It has been working too with the big crowds they get to matches. He can get all the high level recruits he wants to TCU. I can't think of any reason why being at Texas would allow him to get players that he wouldn't be able to get at TCU.
I think with Rd16 last year and top 25 rank he is ok, but who knows.Many rumors can be heard from Oxford, Ms.
My friend told me it’s not the performance or that he’d get fired but rather that he is aiming to leave.I think with Rd16 last year and top 25 rank he is ok, but who knows.

Why would anyone want to be a tennis coach unless he/she is independently wealthy? Lot of responsibilities but not enough pay. I looked up the University of Virginia men tennis head coach and his salary is $275K/year. That coach must has a lot of responsibilities for a lot of people. I make more money as an engineer than the UVA men tennis head coach and I have much less responsibilities than he does. UVA is a tennis power house and the coach only makes 275k/year. Coaches at lower tier schools must be making peanuts. I really feel for them. Those guys must really love what they do. Hat off to them.
Yeah, you'e told us many times how much money you make, but for "regular folk" $275k to coach tennis is pretty damn good. In addition there is the opportunity to make more money through summer camps, etc. You are correct, most college coaches really love the game, that's why they do it. Congrats on your salary by the way, you are very smart.
Ole Miss Head Coach earns less than 100k. Try to put that in perspective...Why would anyone want to be a tennis coach unless he/she is independently wealthy?

that is actually very surprising and sad for an SEC schoolOle Miss Head Coach earns less than 100k. Try to put that in perspective...
Only if you live in a much more expensive place than Charlottesville.Not just me but generally any good software architect or Cyber Security engineer make more than the UVA coach and no you don't have to be smart to be a software architect or Cyber security engineer. Just like tennis, you just need to love what you do.

Very true, but tennis is a non-revenue sport and it is very hard to justify the reason for a head coach to have a salary higher than 100k. Unless the team plays in elite eight or final four every year, I actually do not see a reason why a head coach should have a salary higher than 100k.that is actually very surprising and sad for an SEC school

Those would be football, basketball, and baseball in some cases. Revenue sports are basically ones that bring a substantial amount of net revenue to the school. Most sports, such is tennis do not bring any revenue yet they are not cheap to support. Would you disagree or?Define revenue sport? Revenue for whom?
I would be silly to disagree, but I don’t believe that football, basketball and baseball generate as much revenue as we believe. Thus, the question. I would be interested to see what a state school generates from baseball compared to what they spend. If a Power 5 football coach “had love for the game,” they would coach for $150,000.00.Those would be football, basketball, and baseball in some cases.

That is exactly why I wrote "baseball in some cases". Either way, there is no reason for a head coach of a college tennis team to have salary higher than 100k.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.th...5edd22c0-465c-11e7-8b99-c709d5eb08c1.amp.html
According to this from a couple years ago only 5 SEC baseball programs make money, 7 lose money (Tennessee loses 4 million!) Which is by far the biggest baseball conference in the country. Baseball expenses are very high considering the amount of away games, field upkeep, high equipment costs and size of roster.
While tennis does not make any money, the expenses are lower than many other sports since the teams are small and equipment costs aren't that high.

I definitely agree with you. There is actually no need for a coach of a tennis team to "perform" at the highest level all the time. However, a lot of it depends on the AD. Either way, in my opinion, as long as the team is constantly making the NCAA and the top 30 ranking, the coach should be in a good position to keep the job excluding unforeseen circumstances.Probably only a few do.
Btw, this is something we should keep in mind when calling for coaches jobs in this thread. They aren't like basketball and football coaches who are making millions and can easily survive being fired. A tennis coach's life and family could actually be substantially impacted if they are fired.
Basketball and football, as sports, are generating revenue. Tennis is not. What is tennis doing for the university other than being a brand/good image?But the possibility of money is not the same thing as money...
$100,000.00 is not much. Do a comparison of what a losing basketball coach or a mediocre football coach makes and factor in the size of the coaching staff per player. Tennis coaches are not, have not and will not be paid what they are worth at any collegel level.
Short answer: Womens tennis fulfills a title IX requirement. Also tends to boost athletics GPA.Basketball and football, as sports, are generating revenue. Tennis is not. What is tennis doing for the university other than being a brand/good image?
Avg working salary in Oxford, MS is $38,459. Along with Summer camps, coach can earn fairly above 100k... that is more than enough for a tennis coach.
I was referring to Men's tennis actually. But, you are right. Their only objective is to boost overall athletics GPA...Short answer: Womens tennis fulfills a title IX requirement. Also tends to boost athletics GPA.

Clemson men's job open now
Maybe he could bring his 3-4 blue chip recruits along with him to Clemson.I think Ramsey would do excellent at Clemson. Please feel free to steal him.

Ross Bjork, Ole Miss’ AD, left Ole Miss for Texas A&M. We will see what this means for the tennis teams.What have you heard?

Texas seems like an obvious choice although they might just keep Berque on, supposedly Roditi is angling for it.
I don’t think Berque will land the job, unless he wins the Title...Actually Roditi would be a great fit.
