| "Hawai'i state Governor Neil Abercrombie, Obama Da Dog and James "Kimo" Rosen talk story in Kapa'a town, Kauai..." (Please note this blog also ran as an opinion article in the Kaua'i Garden Island News on 12-08-11 under the title,"Overpaid football coaches..." http://thegardenisland.com/news/opinion/mailbag/article_4b222fc0-216c-11e1-b06a-001871e3ce6c.html |
Coach Greg McMackin (Mac) did not warrant a salary of over one million dollars a year, even June Jones a name known coach never made that kind of money during his time as head coach.
It was long overdue to force Coach 'Mac' into retirement, he was an average Joe, nothing special, during his tenure at UH he won 29 games and lost 25...
Coach Mac's salary could had been cut in half and he still would had been the state's highest paid employee.
I am glad Coach Mac retired, although in actuality we all know he was in essence fired.
Tuition's are on the rise , the state is cutting program after program, may I suggest in the search for the next UH coach to offer a decent salary but don't offer them the whole bank, there are other priorities besides overpaid college coaches.

Maybe now with Coach Mac out of the picture the state can start balancing the budget and win some football games.

via facebook;" Excellent commentary on our society's priorities.
Sports is fun, but it is entertainment.
When taxpayer funds pay entertainers more than three times what we pay the highest official responsible for maintaining the public good, and more tha...n twenty times what we pay those to whom we entrust the education and care of our most precious loved ones, the next generation, we can’t scratch our heads and wonder why the dumbed-down war on science holds such traction."
via facebook;"They seem to justify it because that level of sports is such a huge business and brings millions into a college system. So not that I agree, but with this mindset its not taxpayers money that pays the sports side of things. Of course wages ..."
OK, I agree with both Congressman Eayrs anbd Senator Dunn, however we could still give the coach a huge salary, and he'd still be the highest paid state employee even if the current salary of 1.1 million was cut in half to 500,000, give or take..
via facebook;"Whether or not the coach (entertainment director) salary is paid by gate receipts, those gate receipts are taxpayer funds returned through the state system.
And using education revenues to pay entertainers over educators reflects poorly on... the values of an entertainment based society that devalues the education it gives lip service to.
I'm not a congressman or a senator.
Maybe if I'm worthy I can aspire to future guru."
