It’s pathetic how reactive these ADs are. Anyone with a brain knew Saban, Meyer Dabo etc were worth 20 million/year. I don’t understand how every major coaching search doesn’t start with “make sure Alabama is paying Saban what he’s actually worth” then commence with the actual search.

Probably not.
I doubt he fixes these coordinators leaving and he is out at Clemson sooner than later.

this, but he was well worth it with the NC, etc. Can you imagine a coach winning an NC at Arkansas? Dude, ....
But, what happens with Briles/Odom gone. How does pitt do then. Do we wind up with Chaney? Lordy Mercy!

So what is going to happen is this... Yurachek is going to respond to that offer with a counter offer. They are going to haggle over terms, which is what ADs and agents do. They will come to agreement for something a bit less than what Sexton wants and a bit more than what Yurachek wants.

Florida is in the tenner mode if bad season equals coaching search. That has a price tag attached with going into that situation.
As far as Sexton, his clients who are mentioned for every opening are hai clients who want to be mentioned for every opening. Nutt wanted this attention and to be mentioned for every opening to create a demand for his coaching even if it was a false demand. He even tried to get his name in the bama coaching search before they hired rich rod and Saban.
As far as the 6-6 bonus, it isn't about going 6-6 as it is a base salary for coaching, increases in pay for performance. 6-6 gets a bowl which should pay more than not making a bowl for the performance. Each whine above that should be worth additional money. Think of it this way the decision to go for 2 at ole miss to win the game had monetary consequences for Pittman, not just maybe we win maybe we don't.

Thats fricking ridiculous if true. Briles is a $2 mil/yr coordinator and it's not even a question. Pay him what he market value for a big time SEC top assistant coach.

I find it crazy that we wouldn't retain him for a sideways position at whatever his salary demands are.
With that said if Pittman requires these other high level guys, at expensive salary he's a CEO coach he should know how to split up a budget

It is. Some guy that knows him was hinting at it over the weekend on 247 and then Miami media dropped today that he’s their #1 target. The fact that they had reasons why he’d want to come their allegedly straight from his party is what makes me nervous.
The guy on 247 essentially said that Yurachek was slow playing him and that he wants to stay at Arkansas but has to take care of his family.

Fire him and pay Briles and Odom 3M each. Let Sexton explain that one.

Then in 2007, he left his wife, and that family he had to feed sued him for $200 million. He lost his yacht, defaulted his $1.5 million mortgage, had to pay over $3 million in taxes, and later lost his other house. We're talking about a guy who made $97,060,000 over his career and now has a net worth of $50,000. That's just incredible.

WTH! So the majority of folks in Arkansas make less than 50 grand a year. Again, seriously... WTH!

Except this would have been Latrell Sprewell saying that in 1994. Briles is still in the early part of his career and is going to get paid big time whether it’s us or another school. The question is do we want to man up and pay like the big boys or watch our staff get raided and lose the sure thing to take a gamble on someone else.

Exactly. If bilking the Hogs after a single decent season is really top priority here for this staff, maybe these aren't the folks who will be invested in succeeding here

Damn y’all I was paraphrasing what he said. My bad for my choice of words. I’ll go get the exact quote so you guys settle down.
Here’s what the guys us said on the subject:

He doesn’t WANT to leave Arkansas. Unfortunatley sometimes you are forced to do things you don’t want to do. He is number 1 on Miami’s list. Lets hope Arkansas does the right thing. A little or unknown fact is he turned down Miami 2 years ago to come here. What he has done against this schedule in this conference warrants a top 5 OC pay in the country. This

I bet it gets done and he stays but it isn’t rocket science and shouldn’t take this long.

It kind of seems HY isn’t the most proactive when it comes to new contracts. show lessquote:
This is an extremely accurate statement.

Things are in the works but with what this coaching staff has done on Saturday after Missouri as the AD who has been made to look very good, i would have been doing everything in my power to keep them quickly.
quote:
You guys are answering questions on why someone may leave. They just had the best season that anyone could expect. Maybe one of the most unexpected in Arkansas history. If they are 6-6 next year everyone is disappointed. Thats fine for Sam because hes set for life. For everyone else it is why they have to make hard decisions. Pay them like you want to keep them or expect them to leave. Period.

For future success, I am not sure if this is a "Smart" move...
Pittman hasn't proven enough for that type of cha ching yet... yet....
When he loses Odom, and Briles... who does he depend on, what will he bring in to replace those positions? I would not offer 6 million, Yet....
And if we go 6 million + what about our assistants? This is where we have lacked severely in the past...
he's leveraging for his assistants

He is forced to interview, take new jobs, move cross country every year and take a raise? I'm still not feeling sorry for someone making over $1,000,000.00 for a single year of coaching a game. If it's such a "hard decision", then please go elsewhere

I mean if someone’s offering you $2 million and your current job that is the greatest place in the world is only offering $1 million you’d be crazy not to take the $2 million. Every single person here would take that job even if it meant leaving the place you love.
He just posted this in response to someone saying what makes him think Briles deserves $2 million from us:
It honestly sounds more like Yurachek has ruffled some feathers taking this long to get deals done. I don’t think anyone would disagree that speed to update contracts is one of Yurachek’s faults.

Want 2 million? YES!!!!! Thinks he gets 2 million from Arkansas? No way. 2 million from Miami? Yes. Arkansas doesn’t have to match Miami. I can’t speak for him but they probably don’t have to get close to it. Respect would be nice at this point. Not just for kb but for sam.

I’ve wondered if part of Sam signing with Sexton is due to HY being such a hardass in not wanting to pay big money. If he’s fighting to get KB and Odom money and HY is saying no, what better way to throw the finger than signing with the biggest money leach in the country.
