Foley's New Job

The school needs a DOGE

In some ways, it's been run pretty efficiently as is for a department undergoing a staff overhaul. Instead of being obligated to paying some processed coaches to stay the fuck away from the program, they're being demoted to handle lesser positions more fitting for them while they serve the remainder of their contract.

In McGuire's case, that ended with him getting hired at Texas Tech and we're effectively off the hook for some or all of the remainder he was owed. I can't find his salary at TTech, but he was making $285,000 annually here. Unless his three-year contract was renewed or Tech lowballed him and is making Nebraska pay the difference, that saves the department about a quarter million. If it was renewed, it likely saves the department closer to a half million. It's become a joke that Satterfield is the highest paid TEs coach in the country, but Nebraska could also be paying him the same amount to do nothing and hiring/promoting someone to handle TEs as a full time position, which gobbles up more from the assistant salary pool.

Hopefully we're at a point going forward where outgoing coaches are poached instead of demoted/fired. But if the techtonic plates beneath North Stadium had to shift to make way for the future, it's actually been handled pretty efficiently.
 
There's been some discussion of how head coaches' buyouts have gotten so huge that schools are more willing to try propping them up with new coordinators instead of just firing them. I could see there being cases where a similar idea is applied at the next level down the coaching hierarchy - reassigning coaches to other jobs instead of firing them so that you at least get something for that contract money.
 
This was 18 or so months ago so could be misremembering a bit. My SIL’s fiancé was a HC at an 8 man school in Nebraska. He and Foley met for 30 minutes or so. Said they mostly talked about his time with the Panthers. His job was to scout players they could bring in for tryouts for possible roles on special teams. Believe he said they never signed one person he scouted.
 
Does he slide into (so to speak) the Cavasos spot in the gangbangs?
