[TerryP]

According to data compiled by USA TODAY Sports, 11 MLB managers make less than $1.5 million, including the Cardinals' Oli Marmol, who led his team to a postseason appearance and National League Central title in 2022, and 2019 American League Manager of the Year Rocco Baldelli.

Ole Miss' Mike Bianco: $1.625 million

Note: Pay includes base salary from state contract, plus compensation from contract with the Ole Miss Athletics Foundation, a private nonprofit organization that declined to release the agreement. The university provided summary of current contract-year pay under that agreement.

Crazy thing is, College baseball season is 1/2 as long as well. In a baseball crazy area like LSU/Ole Miss/MSU. No telling what kind of bump the guys get for endorsements as well. While recruiting will take up a lot of time, I would imagine that being the head man in College is a better gig than the majors.

If we are going to have a program that can consistently compete in the SEC, we are going to have to offer our next coach more money.

A few of the Grandslammers have said they're hearing in the million dollar range. I can't attest for how much fandom is coming through that thought ...

Would certainly help, but the money pot for the roster needs to be built up significantly to compete as well. Example: Jay Johnson wouldn’t have as talented of a team(s) in Tuscaloosa as he will year in, year out, in Baton Rouge.

Just as NIL money is lacking in softball, it is the same case for baseball. Got to find some people willing to write a blank check for both!!!
