What do you think about building an academic incentive for a new coach? Now we should have some for the grad rates and gpa of the team, but what about one for the coach?
Why not have the coach incentivesed to get a master’s or doctoral degree from the school? This could help in building additional ties to the Univeraity, maybe keep them longer to finish their program, give the department more prestige and so forth.
What? Why? So that the coach has to waste their time on classes that they don’t want to take instead of actually studying game film or recruiting? No. Not a good idea. They’d just drop out when they left anyway.
I’m not sure a head coach is really going to worry about that. Maybe you can get an assistant that way, but I’m not sure you really need to incentivize that.
