I forgot that TANNER gave MUSCHAMP a

[permacock70]

4 year contract extension.

Result: A cumulative record of 17-22 vs. the SEC and only 11-8 vs. mainly weaker non-conference foes.

it's hard for me to understand the need to have ever extended his contract.

Were there other teams knocking down Muschamp's door to hire him away?

There goes $12.9 million we will never see again!

This, plus supposedly yeah they thought he might be up for poaching after going 9-4 and winning that Outback Bowl. Were worried about LSU and Auburn primarily

It was the second extension after a meager 7 win season that really put us in the hole. Muschamp already had 4 years left on his contract at that time and Good Ol' Boy Ray saw fit to extend him again.

Exactly right. Good Ol boy Ray.

Its because Will Muschamp knew a little known fact about Ray Tanner, that Tanner is part Eskimo

Right, because we were poised to go undefeated the following year after failing to score in the second half against Akron and getting hammered by UVA in the Belk Bowl.

But it's water under the bridge now.

Is it? Seems to me we're still paying for it.

 

[atl-cock]

Regardless of coach, you have to back him/her that they will be around for all four years that a potential recruit is. Muschamp, Spurrier, Beamer, etc, notwithstanding.

Wait until you hear about the Louisiana Purchase.

I blame that 9 win season on Skai Moore !

We paid alright.

We bent over and grabbed our ankles 15 million times ...

We're also paying with this recruiting class.

Just reported that Chump has been hired by UGA as an "off field analyst" at $300k per year. THEIR AD apparently knows how to deal. Hope UGA gets some of the fine input from Chump like we did...

It's a "rolling contract." It extends annually until stopped....once it stops, the coach is gone...and that also doesn't look good for recruiting purposes. Plus the last one had some concessions to hire the new OC.

South Carolina extends Muschamp, assistants

South Carolina has extended head coach Will Muschamp's contract through the 2024 season.

www.espn.com

That's not the way this sounds, especially since it was announced that his and other coaches' contracts were approved by the BOT. Did all those other terrible coaches also have rolling contracts as well?

 

[gamecockjosh]

This is often overlooked, but he was a key reason we won 9.

I still wonder what happens if Bentley hadn’t found a way to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat against Louisiana Tech that year. If we lose that game, we probably spiral downward like the past few and not even Ray gives an extension. Muschamp might have been gone after 3 years.

Oh well, it happened. Can’t do anything about it now. Now we just have to hope Beamer is something special and shocks the world.

That's not correct. Every extension was negotiated and approved by both parties. There were no automatic extensions.

And the contract happened right after we got BLOWN OUT by UVA in a bowl and humiliated on national television after a horrible season....... (shakes head) How was it approved and allowed?

Interesting. I stand corrected. I thought there were a couple of years where they simply added the additional year with no other adjustments to the contracts being made.

From my understanding, there are very few of these coaching contracts that can be defined as an "automatic" rollover, but they are simply treated that way by both parties after the appropriate end-of-season "review."

Let it go. We're not an independent anymore and this is not 1990. Auburn just paid $24million to get rid of a coach who won 2/3 of his games. They then doubled assistants salaries that they poached from us.

Tennessee paid $12million to get rid of Pruitt, worst coach in school history who is gonna land them on probation. They extended Pruitt last year and he never had a 9 win season like Muschamp.

If you're piss gonna piss with the big boys, you have to offer up extensions and buyouts that stack up to the rest of the league. Those fan bases don't cry about a buyout. They use the $50 million dollars in tv revenue alone, and pay it, and move the hell on.

If you don't think Tennessee fans are crying about that Pruitt buyout, you aren't paying attention.

Also, there literally was no one looking to hire Muschamp at that time. USC had zero chance of losing him to another school yet Tanner offered the big bucks anyway. The buyout amounts were insane in context of Muschamp's value on the market and his performance.

Unless something has changed, UT didn't pay Pruitt's buyout.

Pruitt was fired for cause Monday for alleged NCAA violations under his watch, according to people at the University of Tennessee with knowledge of the situation. Firing for cause means the university will not pay his buyout.

They think they're gonna get away with not paying it because they fired him "with cause".
No chance. He's already hired a top notch law firm. Ole Tennessee will be writing a fat check for fat Fulmer's awful mistakes.

If being hit with NCAA sanctions is considered being fired for cause in his contract, the best he can hope for is a negotiated buyout.
