Who the hell manages these negotiations?
Bjork? Vitter? shite. And people want to talk about Luke not being ready for prime time. Maybe he's more ready than we think-at least in contract negotiations.
This is bush league bullshite. He ain't walking and he's taking whatever they're giving-and $3mil/year was the deal? Holy frick. My dog negotiates better for a treat.
We're supposed to be saving money, not giving away the farm.
Who is getting the kickback from this? Damn it.

I’m disappointed in the Luke hire, from the stand point is what the underlying message is as to what they think is going to happen with NCAA. This is pretty much saying their hands are tied, and Luke can keep things relatively competitive for the next couple of years.
However, it makes me feel much better knowing the shite fest that Drew Richmond is having to go through right now. He didn’t win a single SEC game this year and that program is a dumpster fire without NCAA sanctions. It’s petty as hell, but that makes me happy.

I know this isn’t what any of y’all want to hear, but from an athletic department standpoint you can’t come off as “cheap” in this situation. Could you have probably low balled the shite out of his salary? Yes. But from an outside POV it looks really bad. Media would light us up and it would rub potential hires the wrong way for underpaying a guy even though he would have taken less. It’s still an SEC job requiring SEC level or work. All things considered it’s a discounted rate compared to the average power 5 salary.
ETA: we still come out ahead in terms or saving money but don’t get a black eye for being cheap asses with Luke’s current pay structure. Paying Luke $1M a year is a big frick you to him and shows you have 0 confidence in him. That’s not the message the university is trying to send.
