Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?

I'm gonna guess that in this new era of NIL and revenue sharing, contract buyouts are gonna drop.  At some point they're gonna run out of money, No?

#653

The Norvell contract makes me sad for FSU. They’re already paying for stadium renovations and exploring options to leave the ACC.

Bud Elliott has made veiled references to Saudi PE money for a conference buyout. Perhaps they rip the band aid off to make Norvell go away.

Looks like that's it for Napier

For what it's worth: Florida has scheduled a staff meeting at 1:45 p.m. ET and a team meeting at 2 p.m., a source tells @CBSSports

Yup Napier fired. 
 

BREAKING: Florida has fired Billy Napier, a source tells @CBSSports.He was 22-23 in three-plus seasons, including a 3-4 record this fall. He was 5-17 vs. ranked teams and a combined 1-4 against rivals FSU and Miami.

Glad it's comparatively small because half is due in 30 days. The rest paid out in yearly installments the next 4 years.

#663

Will be interesting to see which schools break the longterm contract pattern.  Nil and portal make turnarounds faster as well as collapses.  10 year deals are stupid.  Did DKR ever have a 10 year contract?

give the headcoach 15M/year, yearly renewal. its cheaper in the long run. especially for deep pockets like us. If recruiting is now about the best paid players, then get the best coach in, no need for schmoozers like Mack anymore. money whip who you want as far as recruiting is concerned. its not like there is a salary cap in cfb.

One of my greatest regrets is not getting into a profession where they'll pay you lots of money to not work.

Where are all these new coaches going to come from?  It’s hard to think of more than a couple good candidates right now.

A&M will be the bellwether on that front.

A lot of young, up and coming coordinators are about to become head coaches. Either by one of these schools directly or to the schools that get poached.

apparently Cignetti's buyout is only 15M

What? Horseshit. Offer him right now. Thank you for your service Steve. He'll never win a title at IU.

side effect of the win-at-all-costs mentality.

Texas wanted sec membership, so we're part of that circus now.

A lot of fan bases are going to be really disappointed and some mid coaches are going to get some crazy paydays. Wait till Auburn enters the chat.

The entire "industry" has become a microcosm of everything that's wrong with the economy/society in general. Both bubbles will burst at some point (probably at the same time).

The whole thing is a racket. Jimmy Sexton is basically a hedge fund manager.

Yep. And in Florida, student fees go to athletics. It’s insane and higher ed/college sports needs to get a hard reset.

Sometimes I feel like I dont even know the value of a dollar anymore. How can all these programs and donors just light so much money on fire?

It's a good investment if the guy actually hits, but they're giving these coaches Saban-like contracts for having 1-2 good seasons, which does not mean you're a good coach. Fucking Ed Orgeron and Gene Chizik won national championships.

I want someone to make me that meme of the cat reading the newspaper and it says “fuck, I shoulda been a cfb coach who works a p4 job for millions then sucks because I’ll get more millions if I get fired.”

#697

Good investment for whom is the question? I’ve yet to see a direct, non-funny math explanation of college athletics helping make school more affordable or better in quality for the students of a given state. Which is ostensibly why state colleges exist.

Does Texas not have an athletic fee?

AFAIK, the fee is still fairly minimal (a couple bucks per credit hour) and covers free admission to everything but football, offers discounted football tickets, and pays for stuff like intramural sports and gyms.

This summer the Florida system in general got a court decision allowing schools to reach beyond that fee and redirect other student-derived fees to athletics. Texas as a state is not better, this is just an indicator of where the whole thing has gone off the rails for most schools.
