Kevin Willard

Not coming out here but he was taken care of as he should have been by the school.
 
So does he have a new deal relative to the previous one that has been debated about here over the last couple of years?
 
I wish my Board would "take care of me" after having one good year out of five...lol

It's one good year after SIX years.

His total compensation for the year ended June 30, 2015 was $1,560,379.
 
Not really interested in whether he was taken care of or not. I was interested in whether his donation
to Pirate Blue was commensurate with the salary the University pays him.
 
Interesting question is whether or not Willard could really do better elsewhere financially speaking.

Willard gives a ton of money to Seton Hall.

BTW, he was the mystery donor during the recently concluded Pirate Blue drive that set an all time record for funds contributed to the school this past June.
 
Yup. KW is a good guy.

I don't think we have to worry about him possibly jumping ship for greener pastures (financially or otherwise) unless he has a couple of really, really good seasons over the next few years. And as a Hall fan I'd sign up for that "dilemma" right now.

Also, all those big ticket items that sell for thousands at the beefsteak dinner (i.e. Round of golf, etc). That is all Willard and the staff bidding.

He gives back.

And do you think that's all he gives? That donation was on top of many others.

You are 100% correct. But once it's brought up here and he's made to look bad as is so often the case then facts have to be established.

BTW, Willard also is heavily involved with Cystic Fibrosis and donates a ton of his time and money to aid that cause as well.

Agree 1000 % with you Dan. You answered as I would have if I knew that info.
 
Well maybe it's nobody's business, but it is a published fact that has just been released for all to view.
Why are some of you being so defensive about our generous coach if you're comfortable with his
donor level? I on the other find it a little or a lot short of what most coaches give back. But forgive me, I
know it's not fashionable to have differing opinions on this board particularly when they are not in lock
step.

I don't think your donor level, my donor level or Willard's donor level is anyone's business. And I think it is poor taste to ask. Simple as that. Ask away. That is your right. And if it is in the public domain I still think it's none of my business.
 
A fervent liberal thinking she has to be judge and jury on how someone else spends their money? Fancy that.
And another fervent lib who outspokenly disagrees. But that doesn't fit the political point you are trying to make. You have a future on cable news...

I didn't find any of the initial responses as being defensive until I read yours. Differing opinions are fine and should be welcomed - they make message boards fun to read. But opinions without any factual backup or that are coming with some type of agenda will be met with criticism and rightly so. That's not exclusive to this board but life in general

I for one have no idea what he gives and unless he's running for public office, I'm not very interested. But since you brought it up, show some facts to back up your assertion that Willard is "a little or a lot short of what most coaches give back" and then we can have an intelligent discussion.
 
Geez, it's in the Seton Hall Big East Tournament Book that we all received this weekend. It's in black and
white for all to see. My advice is not to open the book and read it. But do look at it. All the colored glossies
sure are nice, LOL

It did not seem like your purpose was to spread information, but to insult the coach. If I am wrong, sorry.

And I still don't think it is any of my husiness.
 
First, I think we are fortunate to have Willard at Seton Hall.

Second, I didn't know there were any [other] liberals on this board. I am heartened.

You shouldn't have revealed it. Not worth it to quiet a few negative posters. I'm sure Willard would not have wanted you to.
 
I don't understand the OPs reasoning for this post. If it's to discuss Willards salary amongst other coaches that information is easily accessible all over the Internet and one can debate it if they wish. But if it's to say he doesn't give enough to his school or other charities compared to other coaches ( the implied intent) I don't possibly see how you can obtain that info unless you are privy to every coach's tax returns.

Funny you should ask that... Was looking thru the book we just received and was shocked at the listings for some of the people and their donation amounts. Esteban, Felt, and Sharkey
 
I question the accuracy of some of that info. I know in the past my contributions to Pirate Blue did not encompass what I gave and frankly I could care less. I don't give money to the school so everyone can be impressed by my donation.

BTW, three years ago when I ran the Donation Challenge with the criteria that if we reached our goal of $50,000.00 Kevin Willard was going to open up a practice just for those that donated.

Got a call from Jay Judge the morning of the last day that at the time we were about $1,500.00 short and that Willard was making up the difference. It didn't matter because that last day we ended up well over the goal but again that just goes to show you the giving nature of our head coach.

Is this something we can do again?

BTW, what BE tourney book is this everyone is referring to? (I hope I didn't just out myself from a donation level standpoint ;)). Seriously though, I donate to PB several times a year when I can and I haven't seen this book.
