Does Mississippi State have NIL resources to attract top head coach candidates?
Mississippi State fired Zach Arnett on Monday. Does the program have the NIL infrastrcuture to compete for top head coach candidates?
Bulldog Initiative has $5 million according to this article…
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
That's a good spot to be at if it's middle of the pack, better that I thought we were.

Not too bad. We will never be at the conference top unless DS and fishwater go all in**
Give it to baseball and basketball which offer a better ROI.
Staples has a pretty good summary of the potential coaches in his video at the top of that page. He does a good job and offers a reasonable assessment of where State is in the pecking order. I noticed one name that he left off completely, which makes me wonder. But I thought he did a good job.Does Mississippi State have NIL resources to attract top head coach candidates?

I’ve always wondered if our NIL strategy ought to be to penny pinch and save up for about 5 to 7 years, pick a year with the most favorable schedule, and then unload all those years of NIL build up into one glorious season to remember.
Have thought the same. Maybe save enough to have a good 3-4 year run but probably still need to spend enough to win 7 games most years in the meantime
If not for Football, baseball does not exist
Looking back over the list do you think we've jumped any of those listed above us though?
And we still can’t get this guy…

That's false. The revenue from baseball is no where near that of football. The NIL we use for baseball should be minimal.
$5mil seems like chump change to me, to be honest.
I'd guess big time schools like Bama, OSU, Texas... are spending more than that on football only, annually.

If DS just donated his used tvs each year, could that be enough to get us to the top in an obscure sport? Maybe like women's bowling or something?
I think he's talking about in terms of wins/national rankings/tournament chances.
Honestly if we are in the middle of the pack, that’s pretty impressive. I know it’s chic to **** on our fans but considering we are one of the smallest fanbases in a lowly populated area, that speaks volumes.
Seems pretty obvious he was referring to the return being success on the field, not money. I'd rather have a consistent final four team in basketball and consistent CWS team in baseball and have a ****** football team compared to being average in all three sports with 6 or 7 wins a year in football, even if the football program generates more money and even though I'd prefer to be good in football if that were an option. But being good in football is hard. We may not be able to be a consistent final four team in basketball, but as long as we have Jans, we can keep a top 20 team consistently I think. Baseball I don't know wtf to think anymore, but presumably we can do better than we are.
Lots of legless boyfriends out there
And I’m still going to call horse**** on the numbers regardless. A fanbase that just ponied up $77.5m to push a coach out the door has only been able to scrounge up $4m for the team? Right….
The article says $5 million is "close to middle of the pack" in the SEC, which probably means top 25 nationally. And that was before the current drive, I assume. I can only assume the Winning Drive campaign will put around 6-8 range in the conference. That's pretty freaking good and nowhere near what naysayers were saying.
But let's say you're 8th going into the new year. That means you're ahead of a lot teams you compete with in recruiting and on the field.
$5 million total, or $5 million per year?Does Mississippi State have NIL resources to attract top head coach candidates?

$5 million total ain’t much. Florida has raised $5 million just since April of last year. The big SEC programs are going to be distributing a minimum of $3-$4 million per year to football players. So whether we have a continuous $5 million per year revenue stream vs just $5 million total is quite a distinction that needs to be understood.
Do you think anyone is giving their actual numbers? Some are out there bragging and it feels like they are exaggerating the numbers while others are just going about business and not discussing numbers openly.
Not naming any names, but I know one school who has been known to exaggerate numbers to achieve a higher ranking. Not that there's any schools on that list who would be petty enough to do that.....
So help me out financial planners… without touching the capital the BI currently has a yearly operating budget of $150-$200K?
For everything… administrative, marketing, travel… hell, internet service….. oh, and buying players.
$200K/year?

We might get better players per dollar but how much is baseball really worth? I know it’s a money maker but I doubt it pulls the same kind of money as good bowl placements and ranked prime time games.
I’m the opposite. I couldn’t give to runny shites about basketball and baseball is fine when there is nothing else to do in the spring. The joy of Davis Wade rocking when we are beating a ranked conference opponent is unmatched.
I don't think we can afford to take that approach. Obviously to make a commitment beyond one year they can't promise everything they are getting, but I would assume they are spending close to half of what they are getting than 4% of what they have.
Charles "Steven Austin" Winfield has to be a student at Ole MissAnd we still can’t get this guy…

More like $7-$9 million a year for football. These kids talk and all know what their value is. If auburn offered Rogers $500k we’re about to have to invest a big chunk of the fund into football transfers for next season if we want be competitive.
He dumped all the old screens and got brand new 8Ks when he moved us to On3. So he has no more old ones to sell.
Thank goodness for Charlie. Cohen had us screwed.
How can anyone really know the numbers on NIL? I mean, if anything would be kept secret, this would be it. I seriously doubt that Charlie Winfield is putting the real numbers out there, for obvious reasons. Along the same line, NIL numbers would seem to be perfect targets for exaggeration. Certain schools will certainly brag about how much money they have, especially when there is no way to disprove it. I’m thinking of one school in particular, if you get my drift. I’m told that school I’m talking about actually had to take out a loan to cover their shortfall when the money that was pledged to NIL didn’t come through as promised.
Good lord man, if you only watch our football and baseball teams I'm surprised you haven't committed Harry Caray by now.
Our hoops are the only team(s) performing at or above expectations right now... and it's a lot of damn fun if you've never been at a game when we are good and the Hump is rocking. And we are going to be good this year.
The Hump is fun when we are winning a big game. It doesn’t hold a candle to Davis Wade though.
Truth. Look at SMU, who has an actual payroll of $4m/year, and apparently have it fully costed for the next 4 years.
