If Tech is 1-4 after 5 games...(poll)

[recktification]

If Tech beats Western Carolina, but loses to Ole Miss, UCF, and Pitt...will head coach Geoff Collins be fired and an interim named for the 2022 season?

 

[BioJacket06]

Someone remind me what the buyout situation is. Do we need to keep him the length of the season to avoid a massive buyout?

He should have been fired 3 games ago.. so who knows.. Vad Lee

 

[TypicalTechFan]

Vad Lee?

 

[BranMart]

Should he or will he? Post and poll ask two different questions.

“Should be” and “will be” are two different questions.

Should? Definitely.
WILL? Remains to be seen

Edited. Thank you.

"Collins’ buyout would be approximately $12 million (salary plus other guarantees) if he were to be fired after this season. The buyout drops to $7.2 million if the move is made after 2022, $4.8 million after 2023 and $2.4 million after 2024."

 

[BainbridgeJacket]

At this stage, you have to see out the decision that was made at the end of last year. I do have hope for a negotiated reduction in buyout to make him go away.

 

[BrentwoodJacket]

No for purely monetary reasons.

However the AD should be gone.

Maybe Collins will decide to take a reduced buyout at that point to avoid the pain and the further damage to his coaching record. Unfortunately, I suspect he will choose to maximize his payout.

Keep Collins until it costs us less then can him. Simple as that. No amount of complaining via snail mail, email, or message boards is going to save us millions.

 

[TechRush]

Are we assuming Tech beats WCU now?

 

[GTJay]

He will not be fired in that scenario, though he should be—it’d just be too expensive with the buyout.

Fire him before mid-December (can't remember exact date), it's $10M. After that mid-December date, it's $7M. After '23 season, it's like $5M.

Some of you clearly haven’t been paying attention until very recently. This has been discussed over and over again in the off-season. That tells me you aren’t vested enough in this to be outraged.

 

[BrentwoodJacket]

If we are 0-5, it may be unavoidable.

 

[MACHETE]

If we are 0-5, it may be unavoidable.

No doubt.

If Geoff really loves Tech as well as he says he does, the best way I can see this going down is TSTAN coming to him and saying that we need to go in a different direction, we'll go ahead and pay you your 2023 salary which is around 2.9 million and Geoff agreeing to that and both sides parting ways amicably.
