I thought I was still in the bball thread lol
guy in the immediately preceding post from N TX
Wait, so we’re not getting green, the IWCC DT is decommitting, and we have to go to therapy?
I would much rather have gotten another guy or two but are we completely dismissing Tyson Terry, Malcolm Simpson, another year of development for Van Poppel etc.?
I’m not saying it’s a world beating line, but with new coaches, a new scheme, and another year in the system, I guess I’m not ready to post like 1,000 messages reiterating how much of a dumb fuck and fraud Matt Rhule is until we see what Aurich can do?
Besides LBs will be absolutely better which presumably helps on the run game too.
Just seems early to fully write off a season.

and if we actually had to pay 75M we're fucked. Fortunately, that is unlikely. He has one of the tightest mitigation provisions I've seen in a college football contract.
(c) Mitigation of Damages. TheCoachshall have a dutytouse reasonable efforts to mitigate anydamagesthatthe Coachmaysustainorinc employment, including without limitation any Post-termination Payments, by using the reasonable efforts to actively seek comparable employment within a reasonable time following termination. The Coach recognizes that this mitigation obligation is an essential term of this Agreement and shall provide the University on an ongoing basis with information relating to the efforts undertaken by the Coach to secure other comparable employment and respond to any inquiries that the University may make relating to those efforts. If the Coach secures other employment during the Remaining Term, the Coach shall immediately share with the University in writing a description of the new position and the total compensation that will be paid to the Coach in that position. If the Coach obtains any other employment or is engaged to provide a service (regardless of whether the employment or engagement constitutes comparable employment), then the Post-termination Payments shall be reduced by the to the period covered by the Remaining Term of this Agreement from all sources directly related to the new position(s) (including, without limitation, salary, deferred compensation, signing bonuses, stay bonuses, or other cash compensation income, excluding the employee benefits costs associated with such position(s)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, income to Coach attributable to his activities as an investor shall not be applied to reduce the Post-termination Payments pursuant to the previous sentence. If the compensation in the new position is less than what the Coach would have earned from the University during the Remaining Term, the University within its sole discretion may choose to pay the Coach the difference through either reduced monthly payments or through a lump sum payment that is paid either by the University or a third party. Specifically, the University may elect to compensate the Coach through either of the following two options: (1) The amount of any remaining monthly installments owed by the University to the Coach during the Remaining Term shall be reduced by the amount of the guaranteed gross monthly salary that the Coach earns through the new employment; or (2) The present value of the difference between the total amount owed by the University to the Coach during the RemainingTerm and the amount that the Coach is calculated to earn during that same time period through the new employment, calculated based on the timing of such payments and using the 3-year Treasury Constant Maturity Rate, will be paid to the Coach in a lump sum payment, which 9will be treated as income to the Coach for income tax purposes and will be subject to all requisite withholdings. The Coach agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the University reserves the right to reduce the Post-termination Payments due and owing if the amount of compensation received by the Coach in his subsequent employment appears contrived to rely upon payments to the Coach by the University (examples include, but are not limited more than twenty percent (20%) per year or ymentstotheCoach cease ,ineachcase,without any circumstances reasonably justifying such increase above such threshold, such balloon, or such below-market compensation rate). If the compensation that the Coach is calculated to earn in the new employment exceeds that which the Coach would have earned from the University during the Remaining Term, the University shall be relieved of any further obligations to compensate the Coach under this section of the Agreement.
Probably true, but he'll end up at Miami
No internal salary cap - I think they probably spent almost everything they had, which means they're cash limited.
They were open about using an NFL valuation approach.
Heard somewhere, one of the talking heads, that the Cockeye Western boy he had failed a class which made it tough for him to get in to NU, Any truth to this?
I agree the defense is likely to be better than last year's. It just won't be enough better to end up with a better record.
If they spent all they had (and it sounds like they had $10M more than last year) they are wasting money. Probably paying way over market value for a number of guys, particularly retention pieces.
