Coaching Hot Seat and Searches

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

And it was Chad Morris that did it for us!

Some consolation that Aggie appears there twice.

3 times if you count the chadster.

Chad and his $10 million. The absolute worst coach in NCAA football history got #10 million bucks to GTFO.
I went into the wrong profession.

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.

[Texzilla]

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

So fire him and enforce every bit of the offset language.   Make him get a fucking job

hilarious that so many got triggered by bert's buyout but said nothing about that worthless piece of shit getting almost as much.

[Barton Fink]

You gotta remember Jimmy Sexton is sitting at the end of that rainbow. He's gonna want to get his cut.

[Show-Me Hog]

It's a bit convoluted because why is Jimbo in a different car rather than his car?  Anyway, it sounds like A&M has their #1 man in sight.  Hammer down, left lane.


"Here's the deal. You're either moving forward or you're stuck. We were stuck," the Texas A&M AD said Sunday. "And so I kind of used the analogy with somebody earlier. You know how you're driving down the highway, it's a four-lane road, and I drive fast, okay. I like 75-80, and somebody's in the left lane and they're going 55 and they won't move over. We were that car going 55. Something had to give. They had to get out of the way."

Can't afford it.

We want to have the best women's facilities in the SEC!

For fucks sake, fire Pittman, pay his buyout, and go hire a young, smart, up and comer.

Who gives a shit about $16.1mm dollars.  It isn't our money.   Move the fuck on.

The TV payout for next year is supposed to go up by $20MM, or so I've read. 

One year's found money will more than cover it.

Hate to say it, but the Aggie AD is right.

Moving forward or stuck.

Which one is Arkansas?

this. I personally get tired of people bitching about salaries and buyouts.

unless some on here are the ones the school calls when it's time to cough up, what the hell does it matter?
we have the 10th highest paid coach with the 12th highest buyout.

exactly I mean our program is making bank on fucking t shirts and jerseys for programs the university won't even pay for or give facilities to but by damn they'll profit off them

Because we're fans and it's a message board where people offer their uninformed opinions. No it's not my money.


Here's some line of thinking for everyone. Or maybe just some spin. 

Suddenly we are competing with A&M and State...no huge deal but next season is looking more likely that we'll be competing with nobody out of the SEC west present day. Lane could be waiting on the Bama gig. That may be a couple years away. Brian Kelly probably isn't going anywhere. Freeze just got to Auburn and barring some dead hookers he will do fine there.

Out of the East I would anticipate the Florida and South Carolina jobs opening by the end of next season. Both the Kentucky and Missouri coaches could be desired either this season or next.

So really when it comes down to who are we competing against it's always a day late and a dollar short with this college.

The next hire will cost easily 9 million per year so there's that too to have to consider.


So maybe a little patience is gonna be the

Georgia fans complained about firing Richt, but it was the same reasoning. Look where they are now.

Just looking at that makes me want to puke. What a POS.

[red death]

Pays to be connected to Jerry's grandsons high school I see. 

And a suck up to Gus too.  And throw DeShaun Watson in there, why not?

I bet that ugly fucker has a hot wife too.

If $8 to $10 million is the market now with these huge buyouts, why doesn't some team tell a coach, "We'll pay you $12 million a year but no buyout if we fire you."

Something has to change and that seems like a possible answer.  Pay a bit above market value but no buyout.  Huge pay is what gives a coach incentive to take the job, and no buyout is what keeps him hungry. If he makes it three to five years, he is set forever.

These buyouts are like getting upside down on a car and having to trade it in.  You're paying for the last car in addition to the new one and you just keep getting further behind every time you trade in.  Do it enough and eventually you're only able afford an old junker from a "Buy here, pay here" lot downtown.
