Kirby gets a new contract

[Diseqc]

7 years at $7mil per. Holy shit. That’s retarded.

 

[aeromech]

not as retarded as automatically renewing

What's his bonus for losing to Alabama?

I’ll send the pants I came in when that pass was completed.

 

[LegendaryGT]

Well, he's no Jimbo Fisher.

 

[xenoabe]

They have the $$$ and he just went to the Championship.

$2.26

What's his bonus for losing to Alabama?

It was $250,000 for winning the SEC and $250,000 for winning the Rosebowl (per AJC)

 

[Dirty Jacket]

What the öööö does that have to do with shit on the GT football forum? Off topic at best.

 

[gogt5]

No reason for them to do this. He wasn't gonna leave

 

[BuckNasty]

I guess that is what getting to the big game nets you. That 3.x mil raise is still pretty astonishing. Richt was a few plays away of getting them into the MNC game two times and I don't think he was making Kirby's raise even adjusting for inflation.

They do have the money and the landscape has only been changing during the last decade.

But there is not enough money to pay the players

 

[WracerX]

Here’s to hoping he’s the next great Weis.

[DressCheeseSideSeaboard]

Is that more than Dr. Pepper was paying him?

 

[User 8976]

it’s amazing how much money the dawgs have left over after paying their players

agree w the original post. adjusted for COFH

 

[MEwreck02]

Could you imagine what GT would pay CPJ if he ever made it to the big show?

But there is not enough money to pay the players

There's not enough money to pay them AND to pay the women's archery players and various other non-revenue athletes.

Or perhaps you think they should just pay the players in proportion to their contribution to the athletic association's bottom line?

Are they paying the women's archery coach $7M?

I wish it was more so in 2 years they would be looking at an even greater buyout when they try the next Saban acolyte.
