Eustachy Gives Back Money

Commentary: Eustachy's gesture says a lot about him | DesMoinesRegister.com | The Des Moines Register

I thought this was pretty interesting. Eustachy is disappointed in his team's performance so he is not taking $25,000 in bonus money.

Still think he was the best coach ISU ever had.

Orr had the greatest impact, but Tim Floyd was the best "coach" and recruiter in my opinion.

He made plenty for a couple years here in Ames, but im sure the ex and the kids get a lot of that.

I would say the most successful coach- not the best.

Classy move on his part.

Larry also donated a nice chunk of change to the Sport Complex in Ames. Neither Floyd or Orr gave much of anything back to the community.

+1 more. No one will ever convince me otherwise, so don't even try.

I'd wish he give back the $930,000 he got from our athletic dept from his settlement. IMO, we didn't owe that jerk-face one penny.

I guarantee you were excited about the hire of Chizik at the time. How come you get to jump ship and act like it was horrible and you weren't behind it but you get to hold other's feet to the fire?

Do you want to give him back the 2 Big 12 titles he won and the Elite 8 run. He earned every cent ISU paid him.

$50,000 if I remember correctly. I still don't understand the apparent hate that some people seem to have for LE.

Yes King I absolutely would, but then again I'm not your typical Athletic Supporter; I value integrity, treating people the right way, honesty, personal character and not selling your soul for the sake of hardware and titles.

Larry earned every cent until he was fired, for just cause, and I personally feel we didn't owe him anything after that...Matter of fact, what I know LE did after the Texas game in 01, I feel that dirt bag outta pay much more than $930K.

So are you going to support Mac no matter what happens the next 2 years?

Agreed!! Larry is my favorite. Southern Miss is lucky to have him...and we're STUCK with McDermott and his brutal, losing style.
UGGHHHH. At least with Larry's teams, every player knew their role and you knew exactly the kind of effort you would get from his teams every game.
