It's not much money in the scheme of the business of Auburn football to assure it won't become an issue.

It guaranteed like an extra 2 mill for something that we don't see much of a reward for.

Especially since recruiting classes are generally made on one or two big pick ups right at the end of the year.

Ok. The recruiting year ends in Feb. The regular season ends in late Nov/Dec. Give him an extension then not now. Alot can happen in one season. Ask Gene.


Having your coach signed for 4 years is great in theory. But we had him signed for 3 and it wasn't hurting anything so why put ourselves in worse position for such a little benefit.

I don't want to argue about it. From my perspective you don't see the forrest for the trees. In the money of Auburn Football a couple of million really isn't much. I know of businesses with light bills that are bigger than that each month.

In recruiting kids are easily swayed. It doesn't take much. If you can point out to a kid that every other head coach recruiting him has a 4 year deal but the coach at school X then it will weigh on that kid. They are often looking for reasons to narrow the decisions. Coaches recruiting them give them as many reasons as possible about the other schools.
