We paid for a Lexus but ended up with a used Plymouth.
With a bad transmission
I think they all have bad transmissions.
The conversation started with me taking issue with the "bad contract" comment. Relative to FBS coach salaries, Collins contract is very favorable to Tech. I don't understand why you and Animal don't get that. You may not like Collins, that's fine. I think his coaching has been terrible too, but to keep saying the contract is the issue is simply incorrect. Check out link

please enlighten me.
You are focused only on his yearly salary as compared to other P5 coaches, but ignoring the fact that he doesn't win any games, that the contract is way too long with a terrible buyout clause. He is guaranteed far too much money for far too long with almost nothing tied to performance. $1million/win is a **** deal.
Seems a little high to me. You have to consider the candidate for the job and the salary based on his record he could command. Just saying he has an "average" salary tells only part of the story.The conversation started with me taking issue with the "bad contract" comment.

I'm not saying the hire was a good (or bad) hire. I'm saying Collins' contract, in today's FBS marketplace, is not an expensive contract. And when you compare it to the other Power5 contracts, it's very cheap. That was my entire point. It's not a bad contract. It is very favorable to Tech.
No it isn't....not with the buyout given an inexperienced coach
What buyout for recently hired P5 coaches would be acceptable?
I guess everyone has an opinion if it was good or bad. I'm just not sure how it was good for Tech please tell me why you think it is good.
You have to consider who was being hired for the position as to whether it was a good contract or not, you can't just ignore that. Regardless of how he has performed, he was not qualified enough to demand that kind of money or those terms in the first place.
Relative to the P5 head coaches, annual salary is about as cheap as they come (ie that's good). We added a little more value by adding 2 years to the contract versus the normal 5 year contract. I don't subscribe to this being the biggest transformation in the history of college football, but I believed (and still believe) it would be harder than most - probably requiring a couple more years of transition (that is reasonable). Lastly, the buyout is only $7.2m after 4 years and $4.8m after 5 years. Those are very small buyouts in P5 coaching contracts today. I think you need to give a coach time (there are many HOF coaches that sucked in their first few years), but if you have to pull the trigger a $4.8 million buyout after 5 years is crazy cheap.
I’m sure it’s doable, I just don’t know if it’s necessary.
Not sure. I’m 36 so was just getting into GT football when Friedgen was here.
so right!
Isn’t that what we paid NIU for one win? Granted, it was THEIR win that we paid them for…
because otherwise I’ll be
