It's Cristobal.
He's not leaving Miami unless he's fired.
He's home.

You mixed up Wade and Thomas, but the point stands. Some were trying to push the Bear our in the late 60s because they thought he had lost his winning edge.
All that said, the pressure on the first HC after Saban will be unreal, as the cupboard will be left full and the ship built. He'll be expected to keep it in course without excuses.

Kelly was the right hire. A proven coach who can navigate LSU the next 4-5 Years to a better spot.
It's not going to be a popular rebuild among the faithful. Also think it wise to give him the big contract to protect him from the fans.
Here's a quick rundown of Kelly's guaranteed payouts through the first four years of his contract, regardless of results on the field (figuring a $50,000 annual raise built into the deal, plus a $500,000 annual bonus if he's still LSU's HC on July 1 of every year):
2022: $ 9,000.000 (base salary)
2023: 9,550,000 (base + raise + longevity bonus)
2024: 9,600,000 (base + raise + longevity bonus)
2025: 9,650,000 (base + raise + longevity bonus)
This is of course not including an additional $500,000 bonus for a bowl invite in years they are eligible.
So, if LSU goes 5-7 (or worse) in the first 4 years of BK's contract, he will still have received $37,800,000 for his troubles - and this is NOT including the other perks of his deal ($1.2 million 0% interest home loan, car allowances, private plane usage, etc).
And then they would owe him 90% of the remaining 6 years on his deal, amounting to somewhere in the neighborhood of $50,000,000 more.
tl;dr: this "proven coach" will make a MINIMUM of $88,000,000 over the next four seasons even if he fails miserably and never has a regular season over .500. Tack on another $500k for every year he manages to get them to a bowl - ANY bowl, no matter how minor.
And I thought AU's braintrust was foolish (well, they still are, but not to this epic level).

I'd be surprised if Cristobal or Napier left their positions to go to Bama, unless Bama offered an ungodly amount of money.
Napier wanted to go to LSU because he didn't want to move his family (I think he has young kids), but since he moved to Florida, I would be surprised to see him move his family again unless Saban stays around for another 10 years before the position opens up.
Cristobal will stay in Miami, unless that Ruiz booster gets indicted for fraud and the U goes broke again. Maybe then he'd leave if the price is right.

quote:Not looking it up but isn't he a Florida graduate? If he would even consider following Saban then he is not the right guy. You want to be the guy after the guy that follows Saban.
o doubt that if he is successful at Florida, he will take over for Saban.
Never mind - Furman graduate. The rest stands, though.

Could depend on how the conferences shake out. If Miami is on the outside looking in when all is said and done...
