Neptune is reported to make $4.4M. Wright made over $6.4M. I wonder what Halcovage is currently making? Curious what salary range some of our more connected posters think is in play for the Bison job.
ND two years ago made about $315,000 in W2 compensation and almost $60,000 in benefits/retirement. Given how bad the last few years were, I doubt his compensation changed much. He did not receive any new contract.
Based on that, I doubt Bucknell would go higher than $350,000 in W-2 salary for a new coach and it might well be less than that.

Hold the phone…so Wright, after 21 years as HC, leading his teams to four Final Fours and two National Championships, one of the biggest names in coaching.. was making $6.4 and Neptune, a coach with one year of HC experience and zero wins at Villanova is making $4.4???? That would immediately put Neptune as a top 7 paid coach. Something seems wrong.

Possible Candidates for Bison Head Coach

You are correct in assessing that Neptune is now one of the top 10 paid men's college basketball coaches. Numerous sources have pegged his salary at Villanova at $4.4M. Could be higher with endorsements. Some writers had commented that Wright had one of the top 3 salaries in college. As an FYI, most Atlantic 10 basketball coaches including Fordham, where Neptune coached for a year, earn in the $800K-$1.2M+ range per year. Knowing these numbers and what they likely pay their assistants may help narrow down Bucknell's candidate list.

Regarding Bucknell’s salary, it is sufficient to get any of the names mentioned in this thread, Halcovage included.

Can take McNamara out of consideration. Per cuse.com…
Assistant men's basketball coach Gerry McNamara '06 has been promoted to associate head coach at his alma mater, according to the Syracuse University Athletics Department.

Do not expect he is a serious candidate for the Bison job, but I don’t see how becoming Syracuse Associate Head Coach eliminates him.

A little aside, but it was a great moment in the NCAA tournament when FDU beat Purdue. Here's a lttle bio of the first year coach Anderson Tobin. I guess my point is that there are coaches out there that are successful and hopefully we get one.
In another universe (not ours), Nate Davis was fired a year earlier, The AD offered Tobin the job, and after deliberations between FDU and Bucknell, he chooses Bucknell.
Anderson Tobin
209-62 record (.771 winning percentage)
His Spartans bolstered the ECC Player of the Year in three-consecutive seasons (2016, 2017, 2018)
Coached the ECC Rookie of the Year four times (2014, 2015, 2016, 2019)
Turned STAC into a perennial top-25 program in Division II, inheriting a team that won just five games prior to his hire to 15 wins in his first campaign
In his final five seasons, STAC finished first among New York NCAA Division I and II schools in wins and winning percentage (131 victories, .814 winning percentage), a list that includes Buffalo, Iona, Hofstra, St. John's (N.Y.), Stony Brook and Syracuse
Seven-straight NCAA tournament appearances, most recently advancing to the 2021-22 NCAA Division II Men's Basketball East Region Final
Six ECC tournament titles (2016, 2017, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022)
Appeared in seven of the last eight ECC tournament championship games

Just a quick reply regarding McNamara, I think it absolutely impacts whatever interest he had in Bucknell and vice versa. First, he probably received a pay increase that is far more than what Bucknell could offer. Second, he stands a good chance to receive higher level offers in the future of Syracuse is successful over the next few years.

I follow a lot of college basketball but can someone define STAC?
Where was he coaching before FDU?
I did hear that he brought in a bunch of transfers into FDU, which was critical to the team’s quick turnaround. Hopefully JT and the Bucknell Administration are waking up to the new reality of D1 basketball and what it takes to get off the bottom of the PL. We look forward to a HC announcement soon but also to new policies and strategies on transfers and 5th year players!
Richmond, Colgate, Lehigh and Nova are all doing it well so why not Bucknell? Find a way and let’s go.
I’m talking football and basketball. Tired of this last place stuff.

Ok, so not mentioned much, if at all, in all of the 16 vs 1 commentary, is the fact that Purdue was not just a 1, they were THE 1, the top ranked team in the tourney. And FDU was not just a 16 , but a PIG survivor that was in the tourney only because the real winner in their league (Merrimack) was ineligible because of an NCAA rule regarding teams moving up in division. So maybe a 17 or 18. beats a 1A, lol.

To go one step further, don’t forget Merrimack, who beat FDU for their league championship, lost to the Bison by six points earlier in the year.

Couple of things….
1) STAC is Saint Thomas Aquinas College, a small (2,800 students, both undergrad and graduate programs) about 15 miles north of NYC in Rockland County NY. Division II sports
2) Despite what the mainstream media may be saying about FDU’s upset over “top seed” Purdue, Purdue was actually seeded 4th in the 1-68 seeding with FDU at 68. Doesn’t necessarily make sense but that’s what the committee did.

Actually it does make sense. FDU may have been seeded last, but they beat the #65 seed Texas Southern in the play-in game. Since the brackets are pre-determined and not reseeded, Purdue got to play lowest seeded team because FDU "upset" Texas Southern.
