I've noticed this as well; your term is what I was trying to think of. As for the question of coaching vs players, it seems that if it were just an occasional random event you could chalk that up to player attention, but it really seems to be a systemic issue on our team affecting most of our...

Yeah, that sort of approach is likely a reaction to some former employees going "scorched earth" when they get the news of their layoff. In any case, best for the company not to take chances.

It's arguable that this interim gig can actually be construed as a reward. I've been in that position before and unless you have a clear indication that it's a path to the permanent job, it could also be construed as "punishment".🙂

So the jet fuel could be characterized as "leaked" rather than "poured". ;) While I agree that the leaked news is not a flattering look, had we moved up the firing timetable, it could have simply moved up the timing of the leaked news. I also suspect Cabrera had to do this "by the book" with...

Another box he ticks is experience at a high level of politics, which is a lot like much of the AD's duties.

In what way? I understand the disappointment in CGC (reportedly) not being allowed to speak to the players, but I can also think of multiple legitimate reasons for escorting him to his car after giving him the official word. Do we even know for a fact that he asked to speak to the players but...

I was about to post this exact same thing and then read yours! This problem has no good solution if we only get 12 points. I'd go 4-4-4 since anything less per category is seriously below average if I am calibrating things right. With 4-4-4 we may have some winning seasons but would need to...

Thanks for this information. There was a sentiment expressed in other threads that we were only making interest payments on our debt, however, this does not appear to be the case. Of course, on long-term notes it's expected that interest will dominate early on.

Dang you are correct. Now that I think about it, that is odd indeed. Seems like he or his agent snuck in additional coach-favorable language. Wasn't there an issue with ADTS' buyout payments to Oregon State after he came to GT? Maybe he doesn't read contracts...

Correction to add clarity - Pittman's has a different end date but is based on calendar years also.

I don't see the Jan 1 date as being a sign of a bad contract like some do. Contracts typically have annual terms and have to start and end somewhere. Like Pittman's, CGC's contract started on his hire date (December 8, 2018) and ends on Dec 31, 2025. It has annually adjusted terms that are...

Thanks, I had misconstrued the perpetual contract term. It was set up to have a constant buyout amount no matter when he was fired. Seems like DRad just decided to pay the buyout and it wasn't renegotiated.

The rationale for CGC's 7-year term (as opposed to the "normal" 5 years) was that he was going to need a couple of years to make the transition. I agree that nowadays the portal can allow a faster transition. That should be the thinking going into any future contract negotiations. Another...

I don't have the details, but Hewitt had a perpetually renewing contract, which basically was equivalent to an infinite (or at least lifetime) amount of $. I think (?) we negotiated it to a capped term in return for something like a lump sum that was more than the normal annual amount. Not...

Understand your sentiment, but negotiating requires give and take and consideration of the relative strengths of each party's position. Right now CGC has the buyout terms in writing. That's our starting point. In order for him to agree to extend the term, he would want something compensatory...

Looking ahead, the Understand your sentiment, but negotiating requires give and take and consideration of the relative strengths of each party's position. Right now CGC has the buyout terms in writing. That's our starting point. In order for him to agree to extend the term, he would want...

I believe the current contract calls for it to be paid off in equal monthly installments over the remaining term (3+ years at present). Pittmans's is the same way. I also recall Hewitt's was renegotiated so that we could get out from under the perpetuity clause. There's no reason to think...

Also, the more I think about the circumstances leading up to CGC's contract, I wonder if ADTS and the GTAA in general were lulled into a sense of complacency by our history of averaging 7+ wins per season. No performance-related risk mitigation clauses were included. Although we expected year...

It does, assuming the CGC contract that was linked earlier is correct and current. Lots of "carrots" to increase compensation, unfortunately no "sticks" for failure to meet certain standards.

Where can one find details about our $200M debt? For example, is it a bond, which would explain why we are only making interest payments? If so when is its maturity date?
