Mason is finished. This was his last chance.

But he is a record-setting coach - greatest comeback in Div. 1A football bowl history!

Please discuss non-lacrosse topics in the Water Cooler forum.

Thanks.

One of the worst college coaches (always finds a new way to lose) along with one of the worst 3-year starters in college football.

Hooray for the Goofers! Once again we find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!

Took 3 of the children to the Men's Hockey game tonight.

At the beginning of every period, the "FIRE MASON" chant rung out - loudly.

It blows my mind that he makes almost twice as much guaranteed money as Lloyd Carr, and is nearly singlehandedly dropping the UofM athletic department into the red by about 500k a year. Incredible.

Don't know the specifics, but Carr probably makes more $$ through unofficial (non-school) methods then Mason.

Yes, JR, it's insane.

I wonder how much we'll pay him for the privledge of being fired? Monson got 1.2 million for quitting on his team, midseason.

Well thats just fine. Im sure the students dont mind paying a little more in tuition just to cover his expenses.

Most 1-A football coaches make more then the President of their school. That is pretty normal.
