I agree with this, keep the crazy buyouts out of the picture and try to build some continuity. I think he is doing a good job, not great but good. Give him time and let him continue to build.
I ran into a paywall, so how long did his current deal have to run? If it was two years or more, this was definitely premature. He ain't THAT good.
I think two years left, so this would take him to four.
Provided he's that good. He ain't that good.. but carry on.
It was bad. There were clubhouse problems also.
It’s fair.
Do I think he has what it takes? Nope.
But, there are certainly positive signs and he deserves a chance to prove he can fix the offense and bring the defense and overall team makeup to SEC-leading and CWS-worthy caliber.
Two more years should do it. One way or the other.
His overall compensation isn’t bad, comparatively speaking -
Yeah, that whole thing with Brian Busher was... strange. To say the least.
Yes, and the real story behind that has never come out.
Holbroke's teams got progressively worse, culminating in that inexcusable and embarrassing final year. He managed to fool a few people into having false hope after we backed into hosting a Super in Year 4.
Tommy Moody once said it had to do with insubordination. Others have said he questioned/called out Holbroke's management in front of the team (I'm assuming out of frustration that we all felt.)
You said the same thing about Muschamp's extension.
Regarding the extension, at least Kingston didn't receive the Ray Tanner Special with unjustified raises and ridiculous buyouts that put us in a huge financial hole. This is strictly an extension for recruiting purposes without all that other stuff. If things were to really take a Holbrooke-esque nosedive next year, we could still get rid of him with relative ease.
