What is New OC/QB Coach Drew Mehringer Worth???

Now THAT is "paying high for an unproven commodity," I don't care WHO his brother is, to be honest.

Well over $1,000 per point scored by the offense the season, in fact. Imagine if RU hadn't scored 63 and 52 while beating NSU and IU, respectively?
 
It is you, who doesn't know what market rate means.

Fat Hookers make less than hot ones because the demand for hot hookers is greater than the demand for Fat Hookers. this moves the demand curve to the right and ultimately raises the price, or wage rate, illustrated by the graph below.

Furthermore, you know what you're getting from a hooker, a bj is a bj, a lay is a lay. and that service gets performed right away. Finally, experience isn't really going to affect the price one pays for a bj or a lay.

thats why the market for hookers is distinctly different than the market for OC/QB coaches.
Mehringers, ultimate productivity is going to be judged a year from now, So his value today, is largely speculative. Unlike a hooker, we don't quite know how productive Mehringer might be. If the performance of his offense outstrips expectations, his salary will be adjusted accordingly.

the demand for Mehringer, is limited to one school, Rutgers, because no one else was willing to make Mehringer QB/OC. this is different from the thousands of johns who love hot hookers.

Thus Rutgers ultimately chooses the price they want to pay Mehringer just as they did Kyle Flood in year 1. It is Rutgers' perception of his value that determine his wage. Presumably, Chris Ash worked with the Athletics CFO to determine fair value. It is that value im very interested in knowing, because I find it fascinating.

One could argue that hot hooker's wages are more sticky than Offensive Coordinators...
 
  1. We paid Rossi $400K last year. He's not getting less than that. In fact, that's probably the number.

I agree. There were position coaches at RU making close $300k last year. No way you can pay a B1G OC as little as some are saying. I don't care how inexperienced he may be, if Ash wants him for the job you pay him a representative salary. I'm going to guess north of $400k.

If RU low balls this guy and he's fairly successful you may be looking at the 7th OC in 7 years come 2017.

If he's fairly successful there's a good chance he'll go back to the Texas area regardless of whether we overpay him now or not. Frankly, if he is that successful I expect that to happen and I'm okay with it. Look at the Pitt OC going to UGA, it's the business. We'd have to outbid some of those area teams or possibly a mid major HC job in that area if he was that successful and that's not likely happening. He's coming to the northeast to get his shot at the big time and prove himself, I don't see this as a long term spot for him if he's that good so pay him what he's worth not more and save that extra to use on other staff and support staff. Paying him more isn't likely to change the final outcome if he's that good. 350K is about right with 300K being the low end and 400K being the high end.
 
I don't think you know what market rate means. For example, fat hookers make less than hot ones. Both are hookers both don't have the same earning power.
I was totally bored with this thread until you put in terms I could relate to. So thanks for that.

Hookers and blow! Yeah, baby, yeah!
 
Should we really be talking about coaches and hookers in the same thread?

BTW - who calls them "hookers" anymore? The term is "escorts," thank you! [banana]
I call them whatever I want to call them. Sometimes it's "Baby". Sometimes it's "Mistress Nut Cracker". Sometimes it's "Mommy". Sometimes it's "Your Honor". Sometimes...
