He doesn't have the HC experience of a few on this list, but his recruiting prowess might get him the job, if he wants to leave UA.

That is a good job to land. Kennesaw St. has moved up from D II to D I and doing a pretty good job at that level. I completely understand if he makes the move.

Look at it under the lenses of taking right at a quarter of a million dollar pay cut.

Terry has a point. Check this out.

Kennesaw State Coach Amir Abdur-Rahim signed a four-year contract with the university, beginning May 1, 2019 and ending March 31, 2023. Abdur-Rahim will earn an annual rate of $200,000 for the first year of the contract and his annual rate will increase by $10,000 each year, reaching $230,000 for the 2023 season.

I believe Pett's at 425K per year now.

For what it's worth ...

I'm not pointing to the difference in the money in the vein of material things: nicer car, house, etc. though that does apply. I bring it up thinking about his son and considering treatment(s) he's currently involved with (autism.) I don't know much about autism, but I'd think uprooting the family isn't high on their recommended list. With that said, 200K makes a lot of difference in health care treatment.

Availability of treatment/therapy could also be a consideration.

Steady consistent environments really help those with Autism to get better, my nephew has it and it's a constant struggle. Requires special schooling, doctors/therapists, and around the clock attention from at least one parent.

"A functioning autistic" ... I don't know to what degree with his son. Within the last year or two there was a column published about his son, the team, and how that relationship / routine had been helpful.

Availability of treatment/therapy could also be a consideration.

The other day I asked where Creighton was ... today, where's Kennesaw State?

Availability wouldn't be an issue with KSU: it's in metro ATL.

I can't speak to the quality of treatment, but there would have to be many more options in the Atlanta area.

Any care related to medical is better outside Alabama in general. My wife has lupus and she received far better quality care in Nashville than she did in Huntsville.

The Stallings Center.
Dr. Lyle Cain.

UAB does its research on austism with programs designed for different levels of functioning.

A little broad on that statement ...

I work in Kennesaw (60 miles, one way to work). The enrollment there is over 35k+ and is in Cobb County, just north of Marietta. I think Tim lived in the area once upon a time.

I have a degree from there as well. My wife is from Kennesaw, well Marietta. Place is nothing like it used to be. Massive school and campus now from what it was.

Pettway got it... Hope he does awesome there, he deserves it.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Oats right now...

 

[Justneedme81]

This is huge.

I understand Pett has been offered a contract with the money numbers really close to what he's making at UA. It'll be a big jump for them. They're counting on the difference being made up with the jump from ASUN to CUSA (2024-'25.)
