State also has at least one billionaire donor (Mat Ishbia, around $8billion in net worth) and several other very rich donors as well. Ishbia could straight up pay Tuckers yearly salary and it wouldn't make a dent in his worth. It isn't the media deal that's pushing it. If it was Illinois would...

Todd Stansbury ain't it unfortunately.

So he can't raise funds now because he did in the past? Is he getting paid for things he has already done, or is he getting paid for the work he is doing today? It is one of the biggest jobs he has in the role, you have to always fundraise. Every single day. Doubly so in a case where it is to...

It's all our money. The ACC wouldn't have a TV deal if there were no fans watching games. Adidas would not sign a contract with us if there were no fans to market to. The athletic department makes money off of every ticket and concession sold. It signs advertising partners because those...

Not being able to afford the buyout is a failure of TStan's imo. Personally I'm of the mind TStan has failed if Collins is back next year, period. If TStan wants him back because he thinks Collin's is a good coach who has hit the milestones he should have in 3 years I don't think he is a good...

ACC TV money is close to Big12 and Pac12 money (17mil vs around 20mil per school per year) and NCAA tournament gets ACC schools around another 3mil a year each. Adidas contract probably hurts us more than other schools' apparel deals because so little of it is in cash ($200k cash vs $2million...

What's Kevin Steele doing these days? We could probably get him for cheap because I don't think he is employed.

21-0 by the end of the first quarter, at no point will we be in it. Tough to say the final score because they will be in clock-running mode before the half and they will have backups play a ton which will keep it down. However, Geoff has gotten under some coaches skin before and they've kept the...

Those were not pretty wins, but I will say Beamer had to start a grad assistant at QB who had retired from play in those games. Good coaches don't lose to really bad teams and can get their teams to play hard for anybody. Either way, we aren't going to hire Shane Beamer so I'm not here to argue...

It won't break 300 because we've all left. Even the biggest masochistic Tech fans aren't going to be able to watch 3-9 for a 4th year in a row.

The thing is, they really don't. Will Muschamp was going to stay and extra year for buyout reasons until a mega donor cut the check to do it (Mr. Rice of Motley-Rice, the group that sued Big Tobacco). But the point wasn't to say "they have millions, so we should too" it was more pointing out the...

If you don't follow CFB outside of Tech, USC just became bowl eligible tonight after winning 3 games in each of the last two seasons and Vegas having their wins at 3.5. They paid Will Muschamp something like $13million in a buyout and brought in the coach they wanted this year. FCS transfer at...

Monken has an OC who calls plays, he doesn't run the offense like CPJ did. He also has a knack for hiring assistants that end up at P5 jobs. Jay Bateman makes almost $1million at UNC. One of his S&C coaches is at UNC as well. One of his WR coaches got poached by Penn State a few years ago. I...

I don't know how good he would be as a coach. He is winning because he is brining in a bunch of P5 level guys and beating a bunch of teams that don't have close to that level of talent. That's why I'm also very wary of coaches who win in the G5 that rely heavily on transfers. Mike Houston was a...

Eastern Tennessee State head coach. 4 years, built a winner. Was Jimbo's QB coach and OC during the FSU huge run with the Natty. Edit: Complete wild card: I always thought Raheem Morris would be a good college coach. Would really depend on who he brings in as coordinators.

Yeah but we rolled the dice, but this contract was an unforced error on our part. I feel like we get taken to the cleaners by coaches' agents way more often than other schools.

I think he should if he can't raise the funds for the buyout. He can make up for the mistake by showing his money making chops. If he can't do that, coupled with the Collins hire I think that should be fireable. Everyone should get a shot to correct their screw ups, but you need to show you can.

I don't want to derail this thread into a coaching search thread, but my issues are mostly that he didn't love recruiting while at Penn State and recruiting is even more important now than ever. I also think his offense is dated based on what he's doing at Alabama right now. I don't think it is...

My gut says Bill O'Brien. The rumors were that he was his first choice, but the Texans were actually doing well so he wasn't going to leave. We are stuck in the mindset of bringing in a "Tech Guy" I think. For the record I think he will be OK and right the ship to some extent based on what he...

It might be worse soon. People will forget GT Football even exists. The last two games before ND were not even on TV channels I get and I only live one state over. GT isn't even going to be on regular TV unless they play Clemson, UGA, or ND.
