Coaching Hot Seat and Searches

[BleedinRed]

A&M fans think they are the #1 option for top coaches.

Meh, there are many Gheys but only one Razorback.

[flash23]

He can't do any worse than the boosters and Board of Trustees did the last time they handled it. 

Sometimes I feel like the powers that be take that as a challenge.

[dhog]

Lashlee will be our next coach.

Well that would certainly free up my Saturday's in the Fall. If we can't do better than that just close up shop. IMHO

Yurachek is 55. If he hires Odom or Malzahn, it should get him cashing paychecks right up to 60 and those guys could be enticed at the prospect of working hard for a year or two then coasting right into retirement with sacks of cash.

So it is written...

And if we manage to beat Texas in year 1 or 2 they double whatever the buyout is

Sam just said he plans on being here a while.

Yep. Says he's going to turn it around!

Jimmy Sexton has spoken!

The ball is in your court HY.

[The Whyte Boar]

Sam is a lying sack of shit.  Not a big deal except that he made so many statements about not having to be fired if he wasn't getting it done and so on and so forth.  Fuck that guy.

I didn't buy any of the negotiated buyout/retirement talk. He has zero financial incentive to step down voluntarily.

But Sam loves the program and the state!

The only leverage we have, and it probably isn't much, is the duty to mitigate in his contract. 

If Sam really wants this to be his last job, and wants to retire to Lake Hamilton in view of HTL's condo, he might agree to reduce the buyout a bit in order to not have to take a job coaching someone's offensive line for five years.

On his exit collecting his 16 million or whatever it will be he will say "sure thought I could turn it around"

it doesn't matter what pittman says.

Good point.

But given how idiotic that contract extension was both at the time and in hindsight, it's not out of the realm of possibility that Yurachek got worked in terms of the language (the 2020 record not counting towards his W/L buyout calculation was asinine).

I'm sure we'll find out that half is due in 30 days and the other half is not contingent a duty to mitigate.

I don't know for sure, but it's been said online (so it has to be true) that the buyout is paid over the remaining years of the contract, and that there is a duty to mitigate. 

So, if we fire him, we owe roughly $3MM/year for five years.  Maybe offer to remove the duty to mitigate for a reduction of $1MM/year, or a lump sum for the present value of that total.

1. Drinkwitz
2. Odum
3. Lashlee

I'd put my money on bringing ole Rhett home.

Hell no on Odom. He's a terrible recruiter and was 25-25 at Missouri in 4 years. He was 13-19 in the weaker SEC East. Hard pass.

[vegashog]

it takes google like .002564 seconds to pull up his contract and buyout.

whether he's fired or quits he's obligated to find another job, unless an agreement is reached.

the buyout is paid in yearly installments over the remaining length of the contract.

Hey, we made the top 10 in something related to football!
