I think it would be a beautiful fit by all parties. Especially if Arky paid even 1/3 of his buyout for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyehardfanAU 2,117 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 The rumor was confirmed by JGT. I'm not sure why so many would dismiss it out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirmed as in, "Yes I am aware of this rumor" or confirmed as in, "Yes this actually happened." Phil Marshall flatly denied a new extension was in the works when it came up on his site.

C'viewTiger 242 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 If Gus is actually asking for an extension or is irate that AD Greene said no, someone should look Gus right in the eye and ask him “What in the hell he has done to earn this contract must less an extension?” Really hope this is just a rumor!

He shut down that a extension was coming. Someone posted saying a Gus extension is coming and P Marsh said that was emphatically not true. He never shut it down that Sexton went to AG to ask for one.

Another job opens up where his client may be interested in going/have his name in the running. So he approaches the current school about an extension or threatens that the coach may leave. It's worked for Sexton for years. I just love that if it's true, AG had the sack to say no. Past admins wouldn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,575 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Sexton might’ve made it even worse for Gus here in doing that. Doesn’t matter since the ball is in their court but cmon lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auskip07 930 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 have contract extensions replaced the AD's public statment of confidence in the head coach at Auburn? I can see how they would make that mistake since Jay Jacobs was good about throwing money at coaches right before a big loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaSteve 194 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Offer him a lifetime contract with no buyout salary of $3.5m for 7 wins, $4m for 8 wins, $5m for 9 wins, $7m for 10 wins, $8m for SEC title, and throw in a $2m bonus for National Championship. If he loves Auburn as much as the rest of us do he would take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he loves Auburn as much as the rest of us do he would take it. With the insanity of today's salaries, I've wondered why the contracts aren't structured like this. But, I'd start at $3.5M for 8 wins, Lose $500K for each loss under and add as noted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
