[QUOTE="BCJacket, post: 901936, member: 2332"] I definitely think if Tech can get Chadwell or a similar coach at reasonable terms they need to go that way. But I'm not convinced Chadwell, Deion, BOB or the like would be willing to take on our job at this point. So, if the top names aren't on the table for us, Key wins at least a few more games and there's clear improvement the rest of the season, then the 'Brent Key scenario' that makes sense to me is: you offer to retain him at very favorable terms. So, Tech offers him a 4 year contract (minimum you can do for recruiting reasons), low/no buyout, relatively low base salary, lots of incentives/escalators. Use the money saved to surround him with quality assistants. Essentially give him a full year tryout and a short leash. Basically, what the Braves did with Snitker; giving him a year at a time until he showed he's a great manager. Key isn't getting another P5 head coaching job next year. So, does he take 700k to be an OL coach at Ironically, though, if Key gets Tech to 5/6 wins then the job looks a lot less daunting for a Chadwell type hire and maybe Tech lands a better candidate available. But, I'd prefer giving Key an extended audition vs rolling the dice on a Dell McGee or another position coach without HC experience. [/QUOTE]
