He is young, 43. He has three young children. Perhaps he enjoys the SW Florida lifestyle. It’s laid back, there is (or should I say was) little media scrutiny. But facts are facts. He turned this program around very quickly. High profile jobs are going to come calling and if he manages to get the Eagles past the Gators in the Sweet Sixteen, all bets will be off, he could name his salary and likely have a choice of jobs.
Enfield is negotiating from a position of strength. He is in the national spotlight and he has given FGCU millions of dollars worth of exposure with his team’s success in the NCAA Tourney. The powers that be at the university are going to have to find a way, any way, to keep him on the sidelines at Alico Arena. The team that didn’t get any of their games broadcast on local radio this year, might see some national broadcasts next year. It’s time to add more than two concession windows. It might also be time to add another phone line or two in the season ticket office for next season.
The upstart university an ill-afford to lose their hottest commodity right now, Andy Enfield.
