re: What does Luke have to do this year?

Then why would Bjork tie himself to that? He’s not a complete idiot. He knows 6-6 is the absolute best we could do.

Because Bjork signed Luke, Longo, and McGriff to ridiculous contracts. The contracts are so ridiculous that he should be fired for that alone.

So if he were to fire everyone right now and pay out it would show how big of an idiot he is and he'd probably be fired too.

So instead they fire McGriff, because somebody had to be fired. They give Longo time to find another job so they wont have to pay all of his buyout, and he holds on to Luke as long as possible to try and knock some of the years off of his contract.

I would imagine he hopes that will buy him time before we fire him so he can find another job, or he prays Luke finds good coordinators and turns the program around.
