So... you still got nothing with the “all the time” business. I’ll just drop that since you’re unable to prove that bizarre assertion.And you are just manipulating the data to support your opinion. Eight figure money means different things to different people. Percentage based number makes much more sense here. Why would a billionaire care about a eight figure raise?
CU planed to raise his salary. It's definitely not a match, but we are probably talking about 25-30% raise if you compare the final number between two parties.
So yes, people turn down 25-30% raise for right value all the time.
And you are probably confused between money driven and ambitious. That's two completely different thing. In fact, if you are truly ambitious, you have every reason to make your decision based on other things instead of pay raise.
I'm perfectly happy at 16. Just give me a couple tourney wins.16 about as high as you get without cheating.
Details!I did enjoy the ride home tonight listing to MT getting roasted continually. 104.3 talking heads were hammering his M$U press conference. Pretty funny, actually.

That’s pretty damn good company and trending up. Way to go Darth!!!Stolen from Rward at 247. This is Just the P6, so the % is skewed but I think it's fair to compare CU to this group. If you wanted to expand it to all 360 teams, I think 25% would be way in the rearview mirror.

29 have made more appearances than CU. 42 the same or less.
You just summed up 53 pages of posts. Welcome to the nightmare. FYI, Chev is the interim.Was out of town and got back today and are you effing kidding me? One season, 5-7 at that and mel leaves for the spartans?
Is this program ever going to get out of this effing hole? What about the recruits?
Worse news imaginable. I knew he'd book eventually but to leave now? Dick move and CU gets burned again.
Well, I feel better now knowing it was for others and not himself.I’m so sick of people who will never see one million dollars talk about how they’d turn down $18 million more to take a job with more favorable conditions for his direct employees...
And why should he give a rat’s ass about CU?Why would Saban "stay in his lane?"
How many?Guess how many programs nationally did better than 4/10.

go back and read it all... You got some catching up to do. AllBuffs were consuming each other over who would take the money and who wouldnt.The LIes to the players and the lies to the donors is Neuheisel like. Unbelievable.
Yessiree! CU is now the poster child for the Pac 12’s horrible revenue problems.It’s a pivotal moment for the PAC 12. This was the cannon shot across the bow of the PAC 12. Figure out media deals that makes us competitive, or be left behind. We are more Mountain West than we are Big 10 right now. This is serious.
Trolling after a tough loss on the road is a good look.How many?
He hate us 'cause he ain't us!And why should he give a rat’s ass about CU?
I agree with your stance in general, but I think your skewing the narrative excessively. Coaches get screwed over by schools too (remember Barnett being promised an extension by Bohn only to get canned after being blownout in the B12 Conference game?). It's part of the business. We're talking about a football coach leaving a school. Not someone cheating on their wife, or becoming a traitor against their country. Football is a game, but has also become a big business (for everyone involved). The players he recruited still have scholarships to a great university. How have they been harmed other than their feelings? These relationships are the largest of MT's concerns relative to CU...it is a real concern. Trust me, the kids and families will get over it. I wouldn't have left CU, but totally understand why he would for that amount of money.
Congratulations!I feel like I’m living in surreality. So pumped for the future of CU football less than two weeks ago. Now wondering about the future of CU football. Aaarrrghh!!
But my little girl is getting married tomorrow! Such a happy occasion! Life is crazy!
It's because it keeps being misspelledEvery time I read "Saban" in a thread my mind says Satan.
I appreciate your take, but disagree with the underlying premise:
So.... These coaches are so important, critical to a program’s success that they garner insane salaries, higher pay than anyone else at a school by a huge gap, but they don’t cause any harm when they leave without notice, after getting recruits to sign binding contracts by lying, just as a struggling program is gaining some traction toward improvement and respect?
Not sure how you define harm, then. By that reasoning, the basis for these huge salaries is illusory. I think these salaries reflect the perception of the amount of profit a successful coach can garner.
Certainly, coaches can be fired, sometimes for good reason, sometimes not. That fact didn’t change when he moved to a new school. His ability to pursue recovery for an unjust firing pursuant to the terms of his contract didn’t change (as far as we know). Just the amounts changed. In fact, I would think his actions in doing this will increase the scrutiny of his future conduct.
Any coach in this business expects to be fired if they do a bad job or if something weird happens like this. It's part of the business. That said, you have every right to find this to be chicken **** of MT because of the way he handled it. Won't disagree there, because I love CU and look at it through the lens of a fan. MT is going to make an additional $18MM at the cost of losing the trust in some families that he will likely never interact with ever again. They will still come to CU, if they want, get a free education, and play for a University that we all love for good reason. Hopefully for a really good head coach. I am not convinced this is harmful to the program yet, that is still TBD.Either way, in assessing his choice and conduct, I find it craven and reprehensible, and I believe it to be harmful to the trajectory of the program, the other coaches he left holding the bag (who may now lose their jobs, too, as a new coach may want his own people), and kids he lied to.
