Key’s contract details

[Akinji07]

Facts and outside perception would say that when a school spends over $10 million to fire their coach and athletic director midseason specifically because the football team is not good enough, that school is interested in rebuilding the football program.

Facts and outside perception would say that if rebuilding the football program wasn't a priority, a school would wait until after the season for the buyout to drop rather than spending extra money and going through the public spectacle of an in-season firing so that they could get a new administration in place for early signing period.

Now, maybe you disagree with how they are trying to do it. Maybe you think they should have taken more financial risk now to or been able to secure more resources now so that we could have hired a different coach. But it doesn't make sense to say that a school which just committed a huge amount of money to buying out their coach and AD so that they could rebuild the football program isn't interested in rebuilding the football program.

Well said andrew.

This ship was SINKING. Did you see last year's attendance marks? How low would they have been this year if they had retained Coach Clown? They were losing money hand over fist. They had no ööööing choice but to make a change. Zero. Everyone knows he should have been fired LAST year, but they wouldn't spend the money then to do it. Of course many of us knew he should have never been hired in the first damn place. And now they've hired someone that they can pay even less than Clown. You can't even make that öööö up.

Some of you people must be driving stripped out Nissan Versas and convinced yourselves you actually got a Mercedes on a home town discount.

It's NOT about Coach Key. It's about the Mickey Mouse process and skinflint approach that Tech's administration took which resulted in the cheapest head coaching salary in the ACC . . . maybe all of P5.

Actually I'm driving a Ferrari but I spent Bugatti money on it to show people that I'm serious about cars.

Similarly, this is why I pay top dollar for all my porn subscriptions and why I give extra money to the IRS each year on my tax returns.

It might also explain the Hewitt and Collins deals (the contracts, or the porn, you decide.... or why not both)
