How did he sign a 6-year deal? I thought state max was 4 years.
They could do a helluva lot worse. Hell, they did worse for their entire existence before him. Nobody ever built anything sustainable there besides him.
It is but OM has been ignoring it for years because most of a coaches salary doesn't come from state funds.
They could plant a cell phone in the dugout with salacious texts from one of the grad assistants from kiffins staff.
That was probably always wishful thinking. He's only 57 and due to make another 6.5M in the next four years and they thought he'd just walk away? Sure, maybe he would give up some of that money in exchange for dropping the stress and time commitments. But it was always going to cost them a few million dollars to get rid of him this year, and that's for a non-revenue sport more or less and then they'd have to turn around and commit probably another four or five million on a new coach and staff. Probably not a good use of money when they are actually sitting in a good position in football but one that takes a ton of commitment from donors.
We are all going to miss that strut to the mound of his
Ha Ha, he still wants to get paid. Too much would be left on the table.
I don't blame Bianco. I would like him if he didn't coach for a rival. I think they're dumb to want him gone as well.
I never thought he get fired, I thought the "retire" from being the coach and move into an honorary AD position. They could arrange it so his salary didn't change much.
