1.5
He could take us to a Rose Bowl win this year and he might get 3 out of our cheapskate AD.
If Dickert takes WSU to a NY6, Rosebowl win, etc, he gets a MINIMUM of 3.85 Million per year + modest performance bonuses that would push him up to about 4 mil to 4.3 mil to 4.5 mil per year.
At least that's what he either probably gets at minimum, or should get at minimum.
Even the crappiest coaches at Cal, Stanford, ASU, get about 3.3 mil at EXTREME MINIMUM.
Anything less then 3.85 million, would be a disloyal LOWBALL, or EXTREMELY CHEAP.
Heck even 1, couple, few, some Big Sky, FCS(Eastern, NDSU), G5(BSU, etc), get paid more then Dickert now, and probably more then 3.75 mil per year.
They don't, Mik.
The highest paid MWC coach is 1.5 mil, the same as CJD.
Google is your friend.
Pretty sure that BSU's coach, Peterson, that coached the UW Dogs, probably got paid at least 2 mil+ the same as an or more then Dickert, before he got paid about 3.3+ to 4.3+ million to coach the Dogs at probable minimum, and that was YEARS ago.
Also most to almost all the coaches are probably not a Peterson.
If a Peterson coached a MWC team, now, they would probably get paid more then Dickert gets paid now.
WTF does that post mean? If he's only making 1.5 that needs to be fixed immediately.
And yes I am hilarious. Just ask me. You, not so much. And hey, as I've posted many times, Chun sucks doggy D!cks.
Also again, the point is not whether I got it wrong.
The point is that WSU is paying Dickert so little, that it's CLOSE to what MWC/G5 coaches, etc, get paid.
I'm pretty dam bloody sure that Dickert is getting AT LEAST 2 MIL.
Either 2 mil + bonuses, or 1.75 mil + bonuses that push Dickert to between 2 to 3 mil per year.
True. Although, I'm fine with Dickert using it as bulletin board material. Coaches and players do that kind of thing all the time. "Cougs vs Everyone"!
According to the interwebs, Jake Dickert's salary was raised to $2.73 million per year in January of this year and was extended through 2027.
Needs to be raised to 3.73 Mil per year, after this year, season is over.
Anything less is LOWBALL, CHEAP.
Well that will pay the rent in Pullman. After all my 38 years of working, if I got one year of that much money I would have retired. A long time ago. And lured in some cutie to help me spend it. Sorry kids .
You donating a few million to support that pay raise? You may not have noticed, but WSU and OSU don't have any conference partners next year and no media deal in place.
My father in law; great guy; went down the dementia path. Not Alzheimers, which is relatively quick. Instead, his version was a 13 year process. Corso looks & sounds like my FIL in year 4. If the network has any compassion, they will pull him before he leaves in embarrassment. It does no one any good to beat up on a guy like that in his condition, regardless of the cause of the condition. Because condition it truly is...you would have to be blind and deaf not to recognize it.
Loyal. A. Dickert is going to get paid regardless, so chill.
B. Your comment about Chun is absolutely stupid. Chun is the AD overseeing a program that has two fall teams in the top 15 and another in the top 25. The men’s BB team has been to the postseason 3 straight years and the ladies just won the conference.
I get people are pissed about where we are at with realignment, I am too, but for the 100th time this is not on Chun. This is 99% on the university presidents and commissioners.
If you don’t love him fine. He certainly doesn’t suck, the athletic programs are proving that every week.
Same here my dad has Parkinson’s and is now starting to move downhill quickly. It’s ESPNs responsibility. We knew when to take the car keys from my dad, ESPN should sure as hell know when to take the mic from Corso. If they didn’t know they should now. And if they don’t, F them, because they are letting the guy make a fool out of himself in the waning years of his career/life. Give him a damn throne on the set and let him watch to his hearts content. Hell let him out on the mascot head if he wants too.
Hear you there. I've told my kids - if I get dementia and/or Alzheimer's take me for a long walk off a short dock. Ain't doing that to my kids. Losing Dad after a year in the "home" and then Mom in Hospice, I'm not going there. If they won't kill me I'll swerve into a semi.
I just want to see my granddaughters graduate from HS and hope my sweet dog outlives me.
Well, my grandmother had Alzheimer's and was in a care facility for 8-9 years. And that was after some time that the symptoms were being observed but were not so bad as to require constant care in confinement. Not sure why you say that the disease is relatively quick.
A friend in Spokane just lost his wife a month ago from early onset dementia that took her less than 2 years from diagnosis.
I'm no expert on such things and my examples are just anecdotal cases, but I am thinking that there can be large variations in the life expectancy after diagnosis of the various versions of dementia.
This. I’ve seen Parkinson’s in several people and they are all different. Same as Alzheimer’s. The human brain is the most complex thing on the planet and no two degenerative brain diseases are the same. I’d say the same for conditions like autism. They can vary so much they hardly deserve a singular label imo.
Alzheimer’s is a disease that causes dementia - it’s not unusual to play out over 10 years.
I know Corso had a stroke 10- 13 years ago but he almost sounds like he’s had one more recently.
Life expectancy, yes. Cognitive impact...true Alzheimers is relatively quick. Many other forms can leave family members in denial for quite a while as the individual learns to respond in a manner that does not provoke an impact from those with whom he/she is interfacing. I'm watching my sister in law go through the early stages of what her dad went through.
Early onset dementia c CDan take you down fast.
From the UK Alzheimer’s Society
What are the average life expectancy figures for the most common types of dementia?
The average life expectancy figures for the most common types of dementia are as follows:- Alzheimer’s disease – around eight to 10 years. Life expectancy is less if the person is diagnosed in their 80s or 90s. A few people with Alzheimer’s live for longer, sometimes for 15 or even 20 years.
- Vascular dementia – around five years. This is lower than the average for Alzheimer’s mostly because someone with vascular dementia is more likely to die from a stroke or heart attack than from the dementia itself.
- Dementia with Lewy bodies– about six years. This is slightly less than the average for Alzheimer’s disease. The physical symptoms of DLB increase a person’s risk of falls and infections.
- Frontotemporal dementia – about six to eight years. If a person has FTD mixed with motor neurone disease – a movement disorder, their dementia tends to progress much quicker. Life expectancy for people who have both conditions is on average about two to three years after diagnosis.
My then dentist, Vaughn Wedeking, who was 1st rate amazing at what he did, died of early onset at 60 - he abruptly retired when he found out and passed away within I believe a couple of years. Formal diagnosis was frontotemporal dementia. He was a very modest down to earth guy. After he passed it wasn’t until I read an article on him by John Conzano in The Oregonian that I learned he was the point guard for the 1970 Jacksonville University team that lost to UCLA in the NCAA Championship game. Had no idea even thought I was a patient for several years.
Realizing it’s sentiment and not literal, but… don’t swerve into a semi. Don’t do that to the other driver. Find a nice tree, rock, or cliff.
My great-grandma had Alzheimer’s. Diagnosis in about 1970 when she was in her mid 60s. She died in 1991.
She basically laid in a bed for a decade, non-verbal, little mobility, no apparent awareness. I’ve always hoped that last part was true - being aware in that condition would be a special kind of hell.
Great-aunt on the other side of the family also had it. Diagnosed in 2002 or 2003 at about 80. Took less than 2 years before everything that was “her” was gone, and she died in 2006.
Far as I’m concerned, those conditions should be eligible for assisted suicide. If I end up with any of them, I’m going to have an “accident.” Not putting my family through that.
Yep. My Dad lost it a couple-3 years before he died, The last year was in the Nursing home - basically where you go to die. My last Father's day with him, I had to wipe his poop off his balls and butt. That was fun. Took my kids to see old grampa, turns out to be two days before he died. He was shouting "leave me alone". Near the end, I was the only child that he recognized.
When he passed, my POS older brother left me a message. He was too chicken shit to deal with it. I went to the "home" and helped the funeral home guy put Dad in a bag. That sucked - help pick up your dead dad and put him in a bag, Then I went to work. Mom and Dad had signed up for that shit - what do they call it - where they pick you up and cremate you? Neptune Society. I said F-that, since Mom was in Seattle visiting family. Wanted her to see Dad before they cremated him. So I paid for the funeral home viewing, etc.
When Mom passed, luckily my kids and I saw her 2 days before she died. It was sad, she kept saying "help me" but WTH was I supposed to do? So my POS shit siblings had her carted off by Neptune, didn't give me a chance to say goodbye.
I ain't going there. Sorry semi driver. You are going to have to smash my Subaru all over your bumper. Just don't have the gonads too put my 9MM to my head. Like the last scene of Sons of Anarchy, where Jax deliberately runs in to the semi.
There's a better way today. Fentanyl. That's my plan. OD on fentanyl.
I do not believe there is a more cruel disease than Alzheimer's and all it's related b¥!|shit. My dad had the Lewey body form and it stripped away his personality and his life. As you said, loyal, I ain't doing that to my kids. Fentanyl. That's all I have to say about that
Tough duty, for sure. I was there at the time of death for father-in-law, Mom, Dad, and my wife. Yeah, here come the tears again just thinking about them and going through that experience. For those that haven't been through that, consider yourself lucky, but it comes down to bucking up and doing what you have to do for those you love. But let me tell you that seeing your loved one being taken away on a gurney from the home they loved for the very last time will really tear you up.
LC, I have a suggestion for you to eliminate the possibility of injury or death to the unlucky semi driver. Find a rural high speed train crossing where you can conveniently have "car trouble" right on the track. Those mile long freight trains win every time.
Fentanyl is my plan too. Patches if you can get them. Chew ‘‘em up then kiss your ass goodbye. Know a couple of retired Docs with narcotic/benzo stashes if they ever get to that point but fentanyl is gonna be a more of a sure thing.
Not arguing, just sharing what grandmother went through. It was a few years of odd little things that she did before requiring full time care, and then eventually residency in care facility. First thing I noticed was when wife and I were visiting grandparents. Of course, she ALWAYS had to treat company to something nice to eat, so she decided to dish up ice cream for the four of us. Before we noticed what was happening she had dished up SEVEN bowls for us, so me, my wife, and grandpa each had to down two bowls of ice cream. What punishment, huh? Of course, things went downhill from there for her. I'll just say that NOBODY deserves to go through the ravages of those diseases.
Had a classmate do that a few years ago. Last big rock going southbound on Chuckanut Drive before you drop down into Skagit Valley.
Did it at hospice. It was brutal. Didn't help that the dr told us that my dad in his opiated state he was either experiencing rainbows and unicorns or spiders and snake, but due to his ptsd from Vietnam it was probably spiders and snakes.
WTF?????
Go ahead and feel free to not bald face lie, but sometime the lie of omission is the best path forward. 3 days of death rattle and the spiders and snakes thing rolling around in my head... this is pretty much the first time I've mentioned it since he died almost two years ago. This is not a botherhood I'm happy to be a member of.
And yes to not involving someone else in your suicide - that's fcked up. Move to Oregon and Kervorkian yourself either with a Dr or like Krusty said with fentenyl.
The little bit I've seen of Neptune society, they didn't deviate from the established plan. Didn't matter what the survivors said, they had the script in hand and followed it to the letter.
I'm not really on board with the fentanyl thing. It's probably a quick and easy way to go, but it probably also negates the life insurance. If I still have any at that point, I want it going to someone other than a greedy insurance company.
Dad wasn't Alzheimer's. He went down at home with a pulmonary embolism (on his birthday, which was also my 1st anniversary, by the way). Probably not a bad way to go for him, but the suddenness of it is rough on the family (although, a co-worker of mine had his dad go with metastatic lung cancer a week before mine did - he said it was pretty rough even when you knew it was coming). Anyway, we didn't bag dad, the funeral home guys did that. But my brothers and I pretty much shouldered them out of the way and we carried the gurney out the door. Nobody else was getting that duty.
If I end up with some form of dementia, the first two memories I want erased are from that day. First is the image on him laying on the floor, which is now the first thing that pops into my head when someone mentions him. Second is the image of my mom leaning over him, shaking him and begging him to wake up.
It just got dusty in here, i better go.
Sorry man, I feel that a lot.
I've told my wife that I don't want to forget being with my dad in hospice for a week because I was there on purpose and wanted to have that memory of being with him and comforting him when he went, but goddamn is it hard to reflect on.
Because it was sudden, I wasn't actually there when he died. I got there after the medics had left, but before the funeral home showed up. And that's the visual I have.
Oddly, sometime between that (Monday) and his viewing on Wednesday, something in my head changed and made Wednesday pretty easy. The guy on the floor on Monday was my dad. The guy on the dais on Wednesday...wasn't. Looked just like him, but my dad was gone.
