No but unless he goes elsewhere on his own, we are stuck. 5m/yr is too much of a buyout when the till is running low.
My guess is recruiting.The earlier-than-necessary extension for him will go down as just a terrible, terrible move....one of the worst in school history. And can anyone explain why and how it occured?
The payout for guaranteed coaches is about $25M.The costs of keeping him would be worse than the 5 mil payout. Season tickets sells would plummet next year. If you can't win with a 4 yr starter at QB, you surely can't with a redshirt freshman. Plus would probably costs a ton to tarp all the end zones with the new seating since no one would be sitting there...
I think this process that colleges use to renew a contract 3 years ahead of time is the most ridiculous thing ever. That really needs to change, especially at UT. If you win at UT, we will keep you and we will keep writing you bigger and bigger checks. And everyone knows that already. There is no reason to pre-emptively lock our employees into contracts to make their buyouts more expensive. It is the dumbest financial move, and we keep doing it over and over. Who was ever going to outbid UT for a winning coach that is already on our staff... no one....ever.The earlier-than-necessary extension for him will go down as just a terrible, terrible move....one of the worst in school history. And can anyone explain why and how it occured?
I was so mad after getting through the interview that I overlooked this piece. Not many, if any, students graduating from any university gets hired into "a position of power", much less a guy who skated through on a scholarship and more "free" tutors than you can shake a stick at chasing a dream that only a select few see fulfilled. He obviously doesn't know what it is like in the real world.Are we going to hire them in a position of power in our company?
I don't get the part about won't hire former players.
I've worked with a few in the business world. It was obvious to everyone else why they were there. If only the average college graduate with far greater academic credentials could be so privileged.I don't get the part about won't hire former players. I know there is a large and strong network of alums who in fact hire former players.
Herman is a lyin failure.
I wish he or some flunky would read HF.
I agree, it's done as a tradition.Let everyone who agrees with banning the Eyes hire the players that won't stand/stay for it. I'm on this thread early saying I believe in TH, but I've had some time to simmer on it and just get more angry every second. Don't bite the hand that feeds you comes to mind. 590 AM newcomer said he thinks the Eyes are done. Get angry but how do you come back from this? What players in the future will think differently from these players? I know this is the reaction "they" want, but it's such bs.... I saw a video where Herman told them after the march they went on "don't let this be the end of it". Well, wonder when we'll see "the end of it".....
The real threat to the program is apathy, not fan outrage. If they are talking, they are not yet walking.$25 million paid out over 2-3 years or $150 million in lost revenue each of those three years.
Using my best Tom Herman voice, give me a couple of days to work on that.
It may be cheaper than losing the millions from BMD who want him gone. A friend who has had a suite on the east side since they were finished is very unlikely to renew if Herman is still here.No but unless he goes elsewhere on his own, we are stuck. 5m/yr is too much of a buyout when the till is running low.
Now that's really funny!Linc Riley sent a mail in ballot voting “yes”
