That’s the equivalent of you or me saying we must show up to work if we expect to collect a paycheck. Just wait until a few more Harsins and Jimbos rob these universities and embarrass them in the national media… Most top level coaches contracts are very similar (due to relatively small top agent group). The only thing out of ordinary in Harsin’s contract is the requirement of the initial payout within x number of days. This basically gives him that lump sum and then be free to get new job without impact to his lumpsum. With jimbo it was a bidding war that aTm did not want to lose.

The reality is we will have paid out close to $40 mill between Gus and Harsin for buyouts the way the current contracts are structured. That needs to change. Pay 'em big for wins and much less for salary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A coach worth his salt wouldn't be concerned because he will make more by winning games. That's kind of the point in finding the real ones.

You think these buyouts don't effect other parts of the football budget ? They do. You think they don't also influence whether we hang on to a HC well past his shelf life ? They do. Those 2 things alone (there are several others btw) have a direct effect on the W/L record. Whether we "chip in" to the buyouts or not, most of us care about that W/L record and everything that adversely effects it, except you I take it.

Sure, some have bonuses for winning X number of games or going to bowl games etc. But it's a small % compared to their regular salary. I bet a very little % of Sabans or Dabos salary is tied to performance based metrics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anybody is unhappy with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's try not to perpetuate the image any further. Please. We could always pluck away a HC who accidentally calls escort services on university-issued cell phones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are dreaming if you think a coach that is being touted for several openings (my definition of a “coach worth his salt) is going to agree to this type of contract.

Unless he could make a lot more money doing that. Then he might have to think about it long and hard especially if it is offered as an option. It's possible but you could also be right.

Tiger 8,833 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 No agent is gonna let their client sign a deal that's strictly based on incentives. And if they did they should be fired. That same coach could get the guaranteed money elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
