An article from 2017 noted that Rueck is signed through the 2026-2027 season. That would be his 17th year at the helm in Corvallis. The average annual value of his final five years ($4.1 million) of his contract would exceed $800k if he fulfilled that contract. The value of his contract may be higher now, but that is what I found in an article from 2017 after OSU had won a third consecutive PAC-12 regular season title.
Rueck can make significantly more money coaching elsewhere should he choose to explore his other options. A new program would also likely assist him in buying out his current OSU contract. However, there are many compelling reasons for Rueck to remain in Corvallis as other posters have shared in this forum over the years. If he can continue to win at a high level in Corvallis, OSU has a good chance to keep him. If he has a lean year or more coming up based upon a weak recruiting class or two, he may give greater thought to how much easier it may be to recruit to a different city or program.

fridaynightlights: In addition to great salaries, University of Texas is considered one of America's greatest universities, and Austin is considered one of its most liveable cities....Even if it didn't dangle great salaries, U. Texas has a lot going for it as a place to live and work.
GO BEAVS !!

The poaching attempts for Rueck will continue throughout his tenure at OSU and his name will be linked to desirable jobs that become open. If the right offer comes at the right time, he will evaluate it and respond accordingly. Vic Schaefer's reported $2 million per year deal at Texas surprised a lot of Mississippi State fans based upon Schaefer's age (59) and history of success there. For their own future bargaining purposes, successful coaches will never publicly rule out the possibility of leaving for another elite coaching opportunity. The list of other programs that Rueck would consider leaving OSU for would probably be a very short list. Texas has the richest athletic department in the country so when they decide they want someone they make an offer that is difficult to refuse. A year or so ago they offered to double the Oregon softball coaches (Mike White) salary and there was no way Oregon was going to compete with them. I don't care who you are if someone offers to double your salary you have to at least give it serious thought. Like what was mentioned in an earlier post mentioning boss and coach issues. The womens AD and White did not see eye to eye. |

Who is the "womens AD"? goducks.com/staff-directoryI think if you lose your 5-time Pac-12 champion and 5-time CWS head coach because your "womens AD" can't get along with him (not because Texas offered a salary package you can't match) then that "womans AD" would find him/herself looking for another job. |

So much for keeping on subject.
Texas made White an offer, uo wouldn't match it. White also felt that with the program's success it should have had more support from the AD and uncle phil. It was a messy breakup.

It was a messy breakup. OK, another off topic venture. Speaking of unca fill, anyone know how much $$$$$$ he has actually given to the uck athletic programs?? That has to be a HUGGGGE number...$$$$$ Also, since the huge nike contracts, reportedly given to SI and JH, day one of going pro, what do we know about their "promises" to recruits coming in?? That has to be, or should be, a ncaa recruiting question I would think. Something stinks in the land fill.... |

Other than track and cross country, wbb is the other women's sport that gets significant funding and that wasn't until after the success of the Beavers wbb team. As for promises coming in, one only needs to look at the bol bol situation. He was shown a room with chairs lined up around the walls. On every chair was nike shoes or other items. He was promised that if he signed with the ducks those would all be his. For instance the shoes were all one offs that would command very high prices on the open market. After that interview uo changed its policy, the athlete now needs to go to the equipment room and check the shoes out. Then they have to check them back in to assure they can't be sold. Apparently after the athlete finishes their final season they can then go and pick them up for good. |

It's really hard to know what a 50-year-old man will decide when it comes to career changes and re-locations. But not knowing for sure doesn't mean that you can't take an educated guess!😎 Taking into account that he went to high school in Hillsboro, attended college in Corvallis, landed his first major job in Newberg, and signed up for his current job back in Corvallis, you have to assume he loves Oregon, or that by now he's getting tired of it... My guess is it's the former.... If Coach were to break away from Corvallis my guess is that it would be because he didn't see eye to eye with his AD, or with the OSU President, and he felt his program was being unfairly short changed.....The professional men I've known to packed up and left in their 50's were usually at odds with their "boss." It's hard for me to envision Coach choosing a big city coaching destination such as UW, USC or UCLA.....And the number of true "college towns" that have good WBB programs in western USA is a pretty darn small group to choose among. Anyway, I'm not exactly sure why I'm even writing this as I try to write about what I do know not what I don't know.... Bottom line: I'd be totally surprised to see Coach take off anywhere in the next 5 years.... GO BEAVS !!🏀 So in the case of the schmucks softball coach those say the coach stays and the AD goes. In the case if Scott left should the AD be sent packing?
and Werebeaver mentioned: ...... think if you lose your 5-time Pac-12 champion and 5-time CWS head coach because your "womens AD" can't get along with him (not because Texas offered a salary package you can't match) then that "womans AD" would find him/herself looking for another job.
So is a winning coach immune from any wrong doing as long as he wins? I don't know the details with Whitebut in an employee/employer relationship any bump in the road would be an easy part in ways.
Does a good softball team matter at OSU or does anyone care? Not yet.

From what I've read, White was pretty much disliked throughout the entire athletic program, except for the softball team. He was compensated at a high level, yet had frequently looked at other jobs. Texas offered far more than UO was willing to pay, and Oregon pretty much said, "Good riddance."

A little voice, not sure whose, has been whispering to me, for several years: "Scott succeeds Tara at Stanford."
