10 Most overpaid coaches in College Basketball

The biggest elephant in the room during Weber’s tenure at Illinois is that he rode the coattails of Illini predecessor Bill Self and his stud recruits (namely Dee Brown and Deron Williams) to his most successful years.

That theory gained momentum in the seasons after Williams and Brown left as Weber failed to find success with his own recruits. Considering the school’s natural (one would think) in to the bevy of great players in Chicago, it was rather inexcusable on Weber’s part. Thus Weber was fired last season after a woeful 17-15 year.

Yet somehow Kansas State is confident that Weber can lure recruits to the Little Apple. Confident enough that they’re already paying Weber more than they paid former coach Frank Martin ($1.3MM), even though Martin is widely considered a better coach and recruiter.

That tells us that either oscar is a great salesman, or that Currie is a rube.  I'm too scared to want to know the truth.

Not that I disagree with the premise, but Frank was being paid more than oscar when he left.

The most truly terrifying aspect of this is IF JC is a rube basturd who is only concerned with finances, what will happen when Old Ballz retires? Its looking like a choices of coach named by OB or JC selection process (Prince Part Duex).

If OBz dies, we need to Weekend at Bernie's him until Currie leaves. Just keep adding the flesh-tone silly putty to his decaying body and a LOT of old english.

Wow, that makes the Currie angle even worse--at some point he had to talk to oscar, and was sold anyway.

Weber isn't smart enough to be salesman.  Have you ever met and engaged this man outside his element of college basketball?  He might have some form of austism...
