re: When we getting cranked up today?

Yeah, unless Gus is a super modest guy, it doesn't make sense.

Basically, he's saying he wants to coach next season, and if he fails, he's willing to be fired in a way that financially easier on the athletics department...wtf

I'm not sure if I believe the reduced buyout stuff either. Maybe we need to wait on more details to emerge, but it's being widely reported at this point.
