Bad Stats for GT email I received...

if you pay for wins ,do you deduct $$ for every player arrested,every embarrassment to the school,every kid that flunks out (esp since when he leaves the college will be penalized by NCAA for academic performance) ?

Thats a good point AG. I would think that punitive measures would be few and far between, but that you could have extra incentives for off the field behavior and classroom performance. I don't want to hijack the thread with my thoughts on whose responsibility it is to police the kids with regard to grades and behavior though.

Gailey has a $25,000 bonus in his contract for a 70%+ graduation rate

That's great, but how motivating of an incentive is that $25,000? To someone that pulls in $1.4million annually, that is only 1.8% of his annual pay. That is not going to cause someone to go too far out of their way to make sure it happens. Sure, he'll work towards it, but he won't go at all costs for it...

This goes towards the UGAg bonus as well. Per his contract, in a year that we beat UGAg, each assistant gets a bonus of 5k - nothing for the head coach. Is that really all that the game is worth for us? No wonder he says that game is just like any other - he gets nothing additional for winning.

Me? I would stake a much larger incentive on that game alone. Give him a $100,000 bonus for winning that game, and each assistant 25k. (I realize his contract calls for 100k bonus for winning the national championship, but I would make that larger as well). Give him an opportunity to earn an extra 100k before xmas just by beating UGAg, and I bet that will light a fire under his ass and make him think twice about playing "not to lose"...

This is hilarious. When the new contract was signed and the bonus info came out Tech and Gailey were ridiculed for having the bonus. The feeling was "they shouldn't need incentives to beat ugag, it's the most important game on the schedule". Now you're saying it isn't big enough?
 
If the slug remains, renegotiate his contract to include provision that would deduct $200,000 for every game lost to UGA. Then make that, the base salary for the next season. If he doesn't agree, send him packing.
 
Not really. If you Can Chan you damn well better bring someone in that can do better than 7 or 8 wins! Because 1) you can do a lot worse, 2) 7 wins for $1 million is a friggen bargain

7 wins is as good as nothing if thats all you ever achieve. Disband the program and take down the championship banners and Heisman's name. I'd rather attempt to win then settle for a guy who is a proven middle pack turd. I'll take trying a new guy every 5 years to packing it in and saying, "he may me mediocre, but that's what we are". ****ing loser.

It feels good to notice how expectations have improved over the years. I recall vividly the time Bobby Ross said he hoped to achieve some consistency at Georgia Tech with 7 or more wins each year. We were hoping he could, but feared he might be too optimistic.

Should they need incentives? No. Apparently though Chan thinks it's just another game, so maybe, just maybe, he does need incentives. Maybe incentives would make him try to motivate his team, whether he believes it works or not (cause what's been happening certainly hasn't been working). Maybe it would lead to more aggressive play calling. Maybe we would play to win instead of playing not to lose. Don't get me wrong - I don't think he actively tries to lose games. But maybe playing it safe all the time doesn't work, and if he had some serious cash tied to it, he might be a little more aggressive...

But, as already posted, I believe the contracts should be more incentivized. So I do not believe that I was one of those complaining about it in the first place. I don't exactly feel like digging through years of posts just to find out though...
