[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 843812, member: 2957"] Much as I hate to admit it, Collins is here for a while. The normal process is for a university is to raise prices $5 and pay the buyout. At Tennessee, that instantly nets $4 million a year. Throw on the revolver and you can swing a $12-15M buyout without breaking a sweat. Tech can't. With 22,000 STH, we would net around $700K, which means we could afford, at best ... a buyout of about $3.5M unless Geoff landed a similar gig. Which he won't. So firing him is not an option. TStan should think NOW about a slate of candidates that will be available in 2 years and start schmoozing them today. If he could make a hire that could "consult" the football program, you would have someone who is slowly familiarizes themselves with the community. Personally, I think anyone with NFL experience is a plus because that is the offer that TStan/Geoff came up with and we might as well see it through. I still like the idea of restructuring Collins' contract but there is no reason for Geoff to agree. He can take the money and go work in the front office of an NFL team, which is what we has often said he would do anyway if college didn't work out. Regardless, TStan can't do NOTHING. He is going to have to do one thing (fire Geoff) or another (surround him with others) to try, as much as possible, to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. [/QUOTE]
