Key’s contract details

The numbers seems to match lower end of ACC pay, which makes sense. I would have preferred the buyout reducing by year 2 or year 3 for an interim coach promotion, but not surprising from how Tech does contracts...

I'm fine with Key, but I think it's clear now we weren't in the hunt for Chadwell, Mullen, Deion, any big name coach.

I'm not sure we can assume that. Let's say for the sake of argument we could've afforded Chadwell at $4 million a year but decided not to for whatever reason. Maybe we actually liked Key better. That doesn't mean we then have to pay Key even close to that much. He clearly has much less of a resume as well as no comparable options for leverage.

I do think we can probably safely say we were not in the hunt for Deion at $6 million a year though lol. Colardo doesn't even know how they're going t ocome up with the money yet.

Because we gave a coach a reasonable salary based on his background, doesn’t mean we didn’t have more money to spend.

I don’t think we were in the running for Deion because that was a high risk reward prospect.

Didn't Colorado only give 5M for assistants

It now officially makes sense why we didn't attempt a coaching search. 2.8 is the bottom of the ACC.

This is the first I've heard that we didn't attempt a coaching search. It's very odd that we waited so long to announce Key, hired a search firm, and interviewed all of those other candidates if we weren't attempting a coaching search.
 
Considering we’re keeping Thacker it’ll be interesting to see who he brings in as OC considering the $ will be there to hire a good one. Also wonder if the support staff budget saw an increase
