CFB Coaching Changes: LSU loses OC, fires DC

[PhD Gator]

I’m calling BS on the legitimacy of this alleged contract. No way they pay this guy $10.5m in incentives for winning the NC. That’s a $17.5m total payout when base salary is included.

Could it be that they aren't stackable? So, for example, if he wins the national championship he gets a $3.5 million bonus. However, if he advances to the national championship but loses, the bonus is only $2.5 million. So advancing and winning doesn't get both, it is just the greatest bonus based on the criteria. Just a thought.

It's the contract. I know the AD at A&M personally.

I was in the room negotiating the contract with a few TAM bigwigs so I know better than you. It’s my lucrative side hustle.

That's how it works in other sports... we're talking NCAA football coach contract... obviously stackable!!!

I think this would be a good spot for Petrino sans the personal issues. Though more skill player talent at ATM, you know that Dumbo was in his ear all the time. If Pittman pulls this off, Petrino will have free reign.

Yes, non-cumulative non-stackable would have to be what it is, hence my comment there is no way he’s getting $10.5m in bonus $ if he wins the NC, which is how the picture reads.

I assumed you meant $10.5m in bonuses (if you add up the bonuses, they just happen to add to $10.5m). My fault for the misunderstanding.

Edit: Just went back and re-read your original post and you were saying $10.5m in incentives which would give the $17.5m total, but arguing that this can't be how the actual contract is written. Think I'm finally on the same page now and we agree that it would be non-stackable.

Obviously, $10.5m in bonuses on top of his base salary (giving him $17.5m for the year) would be even more unbelievable, so I thought this was what you were referring to.

You didn’t misunderstand, that’s what I was referring to. No way he’s getting $17.5m ($10.5m of it bonus $) for winning the NC. $3.5m total bonus is believable though.

Yeah, there’s no way I’m investing my money in any all-you-can-eat restaurants in Starkville. This fat bastard is going to put a serious crimp in profit margins.

Now you know the real reason Bert was gone from Fayetteville.....nobody wins 8 games in a season there and gets fired from that sh!tty place...

I don’t know much about the Louisville guy, but either Partridge or Robinson would be a great addition.

Think he was born in Florida, so maybe he wants to get close to home.

I suspect some of them might give us a look see, but those guys went to aTm for some serious NIL deals.
