[QUOTE="Techster, post: 925113, member: 360"] IMO, this is a "prove it" contract. Key gets a shot at being GT's HFC, and Batt/GTAA take on a very low risk contract that if it doesn't work out in 3-4 years, GT will be on better footing the next coaching merry go round. Donors stepped up with funding for certain areas, and got they guy they pushed for on very reasonable terms for GTAA. Make no mistake, the "temperature in the clubhouse" has been lowered a lot, and the feeling is Key will at worst will be a Chan Gailey type coach that gets 6-8ish wins, and by the time the contract comes to an end GT will be on better financial footing to make a bigger move if GT needs to. Key and Batt understand each other: If Key does well, he will be rewarded in 2-3 years, and Key is doing Batt and GT a favor with this contract to help stabilize the program. This can be a win/win for Key and GT. Key's salary is at the low end of the spectrum for P5 HFCs, but GT and donors have given him more support than any GT coach has ever had. If Key takes that support and makes wise hires for his staff, he'll be rewarded once the on the field product meets the expectations the administration thinks is possible. [/QUOTE]
