A lot of people are acting like a 10% budget cut is forcing these coaches / programs onto the streets. It's like everyone forgot about the years of complaining during the Jacobs era on how bloated the AD was and how we should cut the stupid expenses.

From my understanding, Greene basically told programs "cut 10% or justify why you can't/it impacts winning." I think he even gave an example paraphrasing as "if we need to impress key recruits, that's a good reason"

I don't think it is unreasonable that the AD at some point decides "Hey maybe we should rethink our budget to reallocate $ towards things that help win."

My understanding of the situation with Jacobs was that he was too top heavy with administrators. It was not necessarily a bloated operating budget for the programs.

And to me, you evaluate EACH program to see where the fat and inefficiency is. To do a cross the board cut to me is the lazy way of doing it.

And the high profile, best revenue producing programs may need that 10% to better compete in their sport.

Just bc Greene said there could be exceptions we don't know if he followed through with that.
