star2city Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I can't wait to see how some people spin this. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How about a postive spin? Two things that would keep Lennon here long-term are (a) an indoor practice field, (b) IAA football. IMO Lennon has reason to believe he's getting both.

CoteauRinkRat Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Congrats to Dale and the whole Fighting Sioux Football Community. He is a very good coach and signing him to lead this team into the future is a great thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisonguy Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 What is Lennon's salary at UND? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> FOX sports reported the contract is $100k/year base, with performance incentives. An interresting note would be to see whether those incentives have any provisions at the I-AA level. The length of the contract seems to hint at an impending move to DI (exploratory year this year or next, with his contract covering the entire transition years).

wenz51 Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Congratulations to Coach Lennon and the University of North Dakota, I am a huge fan and supporter of all Sioux athletics. Lennon is a great person and even better coach. I have never seen the man in a situation that he can't handle. I think he is happy here at his alma mater improving on a tradition that will with no doubt get stronger as he continues his career here at UND. GO SIOUX!!!

bincitysioux Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I can't wait to see how some people spin this. My spin is that (I'm hoping) Lennon was told that UND would be going I-AA within the next 5 years. I would think that otherwise, he would want to keep his options open, because after his six years here, I'd think that alot of I-AA head coaching positions and probably some I-A assistant positions would be knocking on his door.

Bison Pride Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 That should keep him off the government cheese for awhile. In response to SiouxMeNow, here is the awswer.

In response to SiouxMeNow, here is the awswer. A good story about loyalty also. http://www.bisonzone.com/index.cfm?page=ar...e_full&id=89098 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Coaching salary bar raised with Kill's contract By Jeff Kolpack, The Forum Published Sunday, April 17, 2005 When Southern Illinois University gave its head football coach a hefty raise to $165,000 per year, it was the salary equivalent to the 8-foot high jump or the 20-foot pole vault. The bar was raised. And that popping sound heard around the Division I-AA offices that day were the eyes of athletic directors, most of whom have no chance at reaching that pay level. "I hope our coaches don't see that," NDSU athletic director Gene Taylor said. SIU, which hosts NDSU on Nov. 19, gave Jerry Kill a hike from $144,216 this year to $165,000 retroactive to Feb 1. He made $93,600 last year - a figure that is more the norm for Division I-AA. An analysis of NDSU's 2005 opponents shows the 10 opponent head coaches average $94,322 per year. That most likely puts the $117,000 NDSU's Craig Bohl makes in the upper tier of Division I-AA. For Bohl to make $117,000 and DII's Lennon to make $100,00 is pretty impressive. Is Lennon's contract better than most DI-AA coaches?!?! You have to wonder what UND-II(cheesy bison reference) offered Lennon as far as after his contract is concerned?!?! Is there any refernce to DI-AA is his contract?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star2city Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 The contract extension should give Sioux fans all the more confidence in Buning as AD, especially if a DI move is in the offing. Buning has already shook up the AD department staffing and more changes should probably be expected over the course of his first year.
