re: I expect BO’s extension to be similar to Campbell

How does losing money earn a raise?

Laying that at BO's feet is bullshite. A shite load of coaches deserves some of that, BO included but not a ton of it. The school's administration deserves a shite load of blame too; had they shutdown that fricked up shite 3 yrs ago, the losses wouldn't be what they are.

Seems reasonable, which is why it didn't happen

I’m a fan of highly incentivized contracts, unfortunately they aren’t common in sports.

Also the way Mizzou has structured buyouts historically isn’t based on the coaches salary. It’s been based on the coaches based pay times the number of years on the contract.

In this structure if BO gets a 2 year extension, but wins 4 games next year. Mizzou would only have to pay him about 500k more than his current buyout is. Which would be less than 2 million.

Problem is when you fire them, you still owe them the money. I have to "earn" the money I donate. Giving an extension at this point doesn't seem like good stewardship of that money.

I have a hard time reconciling your viewpoint with two wild extremes present.

On one hand, you want success from the HC but then on the other you are dead set against the administration committing towards the support necessary to achieve it.

Unless your commentary is the way coaches are paid in general then you just aren't making any sense. None of these guys "earn" it. They are all signed to multimillion dollar contracts before they even win a game at that school. This is how the game is played. The pay and years are most irrelevant. It's the buyout, and you are creating an issue that simply is not going to exist.

His buyout won't increase to a number that we can't comfortably get out of the deal at any time we wish.

Aside from all of that, if you expect a coach to win then you also need to be serious about it as an institution and a fanbase.

It can't be, "yeah, you are the lowest paid coach in the league, with the smallest asst pool, and fans don't show up for games but damnit you better go win or we'll go find someone else we won't support"

I don't know how you are making all of this make sense in your head.

Thankfully, we have a good AD who knows what commitments are necessary.

Same agent. Sexton is a master at getting more money for his clients

Jimbo is 10-10 in the ACC the last few years. Not that good for 40 million. I’d say we got a deal.

preach on brother

Certainly is. Jimbo was a DC, and has been an HC at FSU for 10 years now. He ran them up the flag pole after Winston took his butt to the promised land. Leveraging every opportunity to get one of the highest contracts in the NCAA. He bitches about facility upgrades all the time. Now he’s leveraging Texas A&M against them. For what? A .500 in conference record the last 3 years? He’s in a recruiting hot bed in Florida. 5* recruits all over his roster, and .500 is the best he can do?
At least BO wants to be at Missouri, and will still want that 10 years from now no matter if he does win an SEC crown or make the playoffs. And he won’t require a contract like Jimbo does.
Don’t be surprised if the brass at FSU let’s him out of his silly contract and waves goodbye to him. I don’t think Texas A&M is a step up from FSU either. There are many boosters that very disgruntled with him. Getting 8 mil a year on a guaranteed contract for 5 more years for a .500 team! So, the comparison of BO and Jimbo although 1 has only been a HC for 2 years and the other 10 years has more similarities than you think. BO is 7-5 and ?Fisher is 5-6...both were DC’s before landing HC jobs. One makes 4 times what the other makes, and is looking to jump ship.

Jimbo Fisher has never coached on the defensive side of the ball. He spent the entirety of his assistant career as a QB coach, then QB/OC prior to being named the HC at FSU.
