For Oregon, Corvallis is quite pricey. For someone coming here as a head coach my guess is they'll probably want a fairly nice house. That stretch of homes where Riley has a house is pretty much worth 650-850K with a couple exceptions. Right now in Corvallis, City limits and nearby, not just campus area, if you are looking for a 2800 minimum sqft home with at least three bedrooms, a master bath a second bath and a powder room that was built 1990 or after, the cheapest available active listing is offered at 529K. You could go to Salem or Albany and that drops by almost 200K. Granted we're not LA, SanDiego, SF or Seattle, but the vast majority of the openings on both lists a person could get a whole lot more property/house than in Corvallis
OK. I'm going to try my best to not sound condescending here to my fine brothers and sisters in the NW.
$650 to 800K is complete chump change to someone making $2.5M a year, literally. In fact, it's a joke to someone making $500K/year. An 800K home you are talking about what, a $3500/Mo mortgage payment? At 500K/year your monthly gross is obviously $60K/Mo, at worst case after taxes you are bringing home 35K/Mo to 40K/Mo range. You see where I'm going here right?
Work your way up from there. Someone making $2.5M a year really has no problem affording a $1M home, or even a $2M home. I imagine a $1M home in Corvallis, is on par with a $2.5M home in Seattle, LA, Boulder, Bay Area. In fact, the highest price home I could find in Corvallis that wasn't on over 100 acres was $1,049,000. 6BR 4BA 5,150 SF. There are homes with similar size and quality for sale in Seattle for over $5M!
Corvallis is not only cheap, it's dirt cheap when you are making the kinda coin the OSU head football coach will be making.
I won't even avoid sounding condescending but compared to the OTHER OPENINGS Corvallis is not cheap. And that is the comparison being made. If Corvallis is dirt cheap than the costs of houses where most these other openings are is virtually free. You could buy twice the house in Oxford Mississippi when compared to Corvallis.

Before the housing explosion in PDX the last two years, Corvallis was the most expensive city in median house price per median income. Meaning, relative to median income of a Corvallis resident, Corvallis was the most expensive city in the state for housing. But with that said, Corvallis is cheaper than pretty much anywhere but Pullman in the Pac-12. In my mind it is an advantage in getting assistant coaches. Anybody outside of OC, DC is not going to be making 350, 450 or over 500K here. We are talking $130-$250 range for our DB, RB, OL type coaches. that goes way further in Corvallis than most anywhere else.

Way off on Illinois. Lovie Smith inherited the worst talent in the NCAA when he followed Beckman and Cubit at Illinois. He had a Top-40 recruiting class last year and played a record 27 freshman/RS Freshman this season - 16 had starts. His AD is fully committed to the turnaround and UI alumns are all in for a 4 to 5 year pull. Lovie isn't going anywhere. The Illini needed a complete culture change, improved facilities, better talent and better coaching. They think they have that taking place. Curious what your connection is to Illinois. I'm an alum. I follow OS also (especially basketball) as I went there for a year on exchange in 1980-81. And you are correct, Lovie has at least through next year and much more likely longer. They've been brutal to watch this year, but he is improving the overall talent (looks to have another solid recruiting class in the making) and the kids are getting a chance to play. AD knew Illini football was a dumpster fire when he hired Lovie, and seems inclined to give him the time to turn it around. Most fans (at least on the bulletin boards) understand this too and still pretty much have faith in Lovie.

The median price in Corvallis is also more expensive than Tuscon (the cheapest), Phoenix & Salt Lake City. Pullman is actually more expensive than the other 3.

I can't imagine a scenario in which Baldwin would take a lateral move to become the OC at OSU. He's at a higher profile school as it is. What would be in it for him to take the same position at OSU? Now, I can see him taking our HC position but that's a different discussion. The rumor has been around for a while that Baldwin and his wife and kids HATE the bay area now that they are there and he is willing to go lateral (throw the associate HC or HC in waiting title on there if you want) just to get away from the city. Cheney Washington, where he was for 13 years and presumably liked it, is much more similar to Corvallis, than Berkeley... But yeah it would be a lateral move to a smaller school. But if it makes him and his wife happier maybe he will do it. Just want to be clear. You think being an OC/Asst. HC at Cal is a lateral move to becoming the HC at Oregon State? Go Beavs!

With all of the coaching rumors being flung around it's hard to keep track, I know, but my original assertion in this thread that beavdowg was responding to (wondering if Beau would take a lateral move) was HC == Tedford, OC/AsstHC/HCinWating == Baldwin, would be a great hire... So yes, OC/AsstHC at Cal -> OC/AsstHC/HCinWating at OSU is a lateral move... One that I think Baldwin is willing to make because of the previous rumors that he moved to the bay area and realized he and his family hate it.

You must be referring to on campus housing, which I'd still question. While perhaps high for Oregon, that's not remotely close to LA or Bay Area. Seattle is double that, as is Boulder. So the point I was originally making is any coach coming to Corvallis will find relatively cheap housing compared to many Pac 12 locals. I'm not sure what you mean for "on campus" housing. That is the average price for all of Corvallis. I didn't know Peterson, Shaw & Wilcox were all getting fired. My post was in reference to the list of current possible coaching openings, not other Pac 12 schools. Only the UCLA opening would come with higher priced housing.
I do get your point that the cost of housing has nothing to do with a coaches decision. Our assistant basketball coaches are all living in $600,000+ housing.
However, you do come off a little condescending to us current Oregonians who are smart enough not to live in areas where shacks cost $1 million. My point was that Corvallis is quite expensive for a town of its size.
Ahhhh got it. When I saw UCLA I thought you were referencing the Pac 12. My apologies for the confusion
