auburn4ever 1,266 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Neither one of those contracks are very long. 2 for 3 years and 1 for only 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird36 5 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Neither one of those contracks are very long. 2 for 3 years ans 1 for only 2 years. Contract length has zero correlation to length of tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to tie yourself down with a long contract and have to pay out the nose if a coach doesn't get it done and you have to cut him loose.

Stripe 5 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I think that was pretty much what was speculated a few weeks ago. contract length is fine, Contracts can be renegotiated yearly. Nothing in college football is concrete when it comes to contracts. I think with a big turnaround on the defensive side of the ball we will see contract extensions and better salaries in their future. Also this is base salary. It doesn't list any bonuses which I'm 100% positive they have written in each contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn has gone over and beyond to honor a contract. When you agree to pay +$5mm to a head coach that "resigns", that's bending over backwards IMO.

I wouldn't go that far, Tuberville was obviously forced out but I am sure his payout was part of his agreement to "resign" rather than get fired. But my main point was just that the length on these contracts means nothing other than for buyout purposes in the case of being fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird715 0 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 The sides do honor the contracts. The contracts provide for service for a length of time at a given salary, among other terms. It is the other terms that come into play when either side decides to terminate the contract. The contracts specifically provide for early termination coupled with a monetary amount to do so. That is honoring the contract. Just like the contract with your cell phone carrier, most let you terminate before the natural term for an amount of money.

More like the BOT went behind Tuberville's back and interviewed another coach for the job, just like they'd done in 2003, only when his contract was renewed after 03 (or maybe after 04..one of the two), there was a clause in it that said if Auburn went looking like that again, Tuberville could walk with his full buyout. Now, yeah, Tubs had slacked off, and yeah, the BOT was telling him to shove off, but I get the feeling that not many people understand exactly how it went down.

Rednilla 5,449 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Neither one of those contracks are very long. 2 for 3 years ans 1 for only 2 years. Assistant coaches never have long contracts. Pretty sure that at most programs, it's one year for position coaches and two for coordinators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Tubs (and hope he and his wife come out of their legal difficulties OK) but I'm sure glad we've moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
