Who should be our next head coach?

Contracts must be respected. Why would he agree to negotiate it down or take a pay cut? Mel Tucker was abused for bailing on the prograam. At the end of day it is a business. There are no more loyalties in big money NCAA football. I was upset when Mel Tucker left. I have changed my mind.

Eight sentences that appear to be independent thoughts, yet all strung together in one post. It is a bit disorienting trying to decipher a post by a person that is typing their unfiltered internal dialogue.

What does "contracts must be respected" even mean?

Buyouts are negotiated all the time. I just listed two perfectly valid reasons above why Dorrell would be willing to take a lower buyout.

Contract terminations are negotiated all the time.

All the contract does for KD is give him leverage and a solid starting point.

There are plenty of reasons that coaches negotiate a lower payout on a terminated contract that the maximum amount guaranteed.

And there is loyalty, loyalty to winning.
 
So there is one reasonable way CU gets out of paying that whole $7.8 million if they fire him after 2022. Since Dorrell is required to seek employment for offset purposes in 2023-2025, he may be ready to just retire. In that case, the buyout would certainly be negotiated lower.

Additionally, depending on how payments are made, he may want a bigger lump sum up front, which would also lowers the negotiated buyout (MacIntyre was given two lump sum payments as part of a lower negotiated buyout).
It's the little victories

I'm willing to bet KD's future hinges on the Arizona game. We lose that and we're not winning another game. 1-11, baby. We lose on 10/16 and I'm pretty sure Dorrell is gone the following week. It doesn't help that both radio soprts stations had lengthy segments this morning, trashing the program's status at the moment and absolutely ripping into KD for shovig the cameraman.
I’m gonna say probably not .

This is my favorite quote from the Buffzone article at the time

Rick George and the administration were SO distraught with losing Tucker and not getting much in return that they overcorrected and made it so there's no chance Dorrell is leaving on his own accord, but paid no attention whatsoever to the *likely* scenario of Dorrell being horrible and CU wanting to fire him.

Par. For. The. Course.
So Tucker ran them into the ditch and they overcorrected into oncoming traffic.
 
I want SMUs coaching staff
It's annoying me greatly at the moment, but some outlet did a study recently about college coaches moving up to bigger schools /conferences, and the question was: should they bring their staff with them?

They touched on the loyalty factor and all the other stuff, but the bottom line was "no, they should not." They can bring one or two along, but the coaches who bring more than that will more consistently fail than the ones who don't.

The ones that succeed bring in AC's from other higher level schools.

Was being a semi smart-ass. Would totally take them. The Head coach and DC have years of HC experience and look what they are doing with their recruits. SMU would kick our ass.
