[QUOTE="daBuzz, post: 88675, member: 56"] Yes, I agree that my analogy isn't a spot on example. But I think we both can agree that the difficulties of coaching at Georgia Tech aren't going to change anytime in the next few years. We can wish for, ask for, and/or hope for additional majors or paths through the school that don't require calculus, but the simple reality is that you and I won't see this happen any time soon. And that is regardless of who the head football coach happens to be at the time. I'm just simply saying that making a decision not to let someone go because "well, who are we going to get who is better" is flawed thinking. By that logic, we'd still have Chan Gailey as the coach because I can assure you that I had a LOT of friends, fraternity brothers, and fellow season ticket holders who were all making that same argument as the heat was building under Gailey's seat as the head coach. If your guy isn't getting the job done, you make the decision to switch and go from there. Besides, at the end of every season, there are a lot of coaches/coordinators available who are looking for jobs that weren't there during the season. You have to make your determination based on the available pool at that time because the pool is dynamic. Nope. But I'm not advocating firing him in the middle of the season. As a matter of fact, your post actually agrees with my argument. I'm not in favor of guaranteed money in any (if any) extensions are given. I happen to completely agree with Boomergump's idea. Load his contract heavily with incentives that make him a very well paid coach when/if performance metrics are met. Conversely, if those metrics aren't being met and the AD wants to replace him with another coach, let's not have guaranteed buyout money that puts undue financial strain on the athletic department like we had/have with Gailey and Hewitt.
