[QUOTE="steeleer, post: 129429280, member: 1484359"] I don't know if 2 = "several" ( [URL]http://www.register-herald.com/sports/college_sports/lyons-has-difficult-decision-to-make-about-holgorsen/article_e2cfffb6-ec8f-5679-ba33-23b64ee7dc1e.html[/URL] ) but I'll play along. When you have someone who built a program like Bowden, Nehlen, or Beamer they essentially have the power to "renew" their contracts until they no longer want to, so your argument that the fact Bowden had an "expiring" contract makes this a different dynamic is nonsense. Those guys don't exist (and deservedly so) under those type of confines. So Bowden, unless deterred, was going to coach as long as he wanted (another year at least) and could have continued that ad nauseum until he decided differently. Setting FSU up to be in the exact same situation we would have been in if WVU kept losing this year. No one at FSU had the power to say, "You're done as coach here and there is nothing else owed to you" and simply let him go due to the overwhelming amount of power (booster/alumni money) Bowden had accrued at FSU during his time there. No one at WVU had that power here either due to the terms of Dana's contract. In short the only way out of either situation was for the coach to quit when on paper there is no inherent reason to. There is nothing in either coaches contract that says they can't hire another "HC" (the new HC could just have a different title if there was some semantics issue) and keep them on as well. FSU didn't and WVU doesn't. Both would have gotten paid their full amount, per their contract....if anything else they would be doing it for less work. In that situation Dana would have quit rather than take that insult. So no...I'm not an attorney but I can read. I also know plenty of attorneys that I wouldn't trust to close a construction loan on a doghouse. If you were worth a damn as an attorney you wouldn't have the vast amount of free time you have to talk down to people on here. FSU did what I proposed and it worked. Your attempts to make them sound different are pretty weak. In other words...find someone else to fail to impress. BTW...I really don't care that you don't care if WVU gets a QB coach. [/QUOTE]
