[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 892743, member: 630"] People want to fire Collins. That's $3mm/yr for the next 3 years. Then add another $3mm increase over current salaries for a new coach of the quality that people want and his staff (no $450K DCs will do). Then increase his recruiting budget by even $500K-plus other things you have to do to attract a top coach. That's $6.5 mm/yr--at least-- we don't have. Or, you can gamble on an up and comer for a little less, and if he doesn't work out, then you can pay another fired coach. It would be better to spend another $500K for a DC and add another $500K for recruiting and NIL. That's $1mm instead of $6.5 mm. We actually need to spend more on recruiting than a Texas does. We aren't the flagship state school in a huge state and we need to be recruiting nationally. The current "bring 'em back home to Atlanta" is the best cheap strategy, but we've seen that it has some limitations. Big donors saying they had the money to fire Collins last year weren't looking at the whole picture. How did they get so much money and be so short sighted? Texas--they can afford to spend whatever it takes--and they will. Fire all the coaches you want, but we don't have the money to play in the same sandbox with those schools in the current environment.
