Really Wanted Coach Strong To Succeed

[Sk00b]

Well... that's a ****** model lol. I get it for proven coaches in higher profile gigs. Similar to how executives will get severance, etc. But to pay someone whether they succeed or fail is BS.

Clearly I would have the worst coach in NCAA if I was AD. Either that or someone really hungry to climb into pay for failure.

As I walked out of Navy’s stadium I knew then the season was ******. 

But the dinner afterward was great.

Indeed, but it’s what the market is willing to accept.

Craziest **** thing I will never understand. How they hell did contracts ever get to the point where when you fail you still get rewarded. Wtf man... You're telling me that if a clause is written in that if you suck you dont get paid we won't be able to find a coach?

Our AD Made a comment about this when he was hired in 2017.

 

“To me, losing football games is [reason for being] terminated with cause,” he said. “And the protection that coaches are provided with in their contracts to me is ludicrous. I want to be a leader in the industry and how we write our coaches’ contracts moving forward, so that there’s not 100% guaranteed [salary] protection for their contracts.”

There are numerous examples, but Yurachek made particular reference to former Texas A&M head football coach Kevin Sumlin, who was fired after six years and a 51-26 record.

Because of a raise and contract extension awarded to him in 2013, Sumlin will still be paid the $10.4 million he would have been paid if he hadn’t been fired by the university, according to his employment contract.

“Coaches deserve some protection,” Yurachek said Wednesday. “The expectations they face are so high, especially in our league and in other Power 5 leagues. But for Kevin Sumlin to get paid 100% of his contract at $10 million, I think that was a mistake. Now, I’m not at Texas A&M and I know we compete against them in our conference and they’ll probably hold that against me, but that is a mistake in our industry.”

Try having your two favorite college teams go 15-34 over the past two years.

If you count this year it would be 6-18. You would think I would pick better teams.

You might as well stick to your guns. People who bandwagon to the best teams are the worst kind of people. RollTide

I hate that mentality of people too.  They arent real fans.  Haha I see what you did there!

Being a Bulls and Bucs fan I can say definitively that I am not one of those people.  Maybe Im just a masochist!
