Green with Envy

Bobby Petrino is on line 2

So you are advocating for a 400% pay increase for the next HC so we can [hopefully] get out of this mess? If we had that kind of money, I’m rolling with Morris and putting $3.7M towards the OL/DL, easy.

That is a fantastic question. ————- Morris will earn a base salary of $900,000 per year, plus guaranteed incentives, including a $300,000 annual radio/television stipend.

I don’t know what is standard, but Morris getting $300K for media appearances is baffling to me.

If we beat Temple, will our guys stick around for the incredible Frisco Bowl swag or will they jump quick. 😂

He didn’t come in off the street. He was a part of the program and probably didn’t have to change a thing. What a mid-season change CAN do is change an attitude. Change a belief. Those 2 elements alone can contribute to success. Then when it starts turning positive on the field, it becomes a snowball. A mid-season change to an interim is not the same as an off-season change. Those often result in a program overhaul.

A reality check as to what type of program we are, have been and will be.

I’m over simplifying here but our alumni base is filled with teachers and musicians. It’s unlikely they supported the athletics program in full force while students. Why would they financially as alumni? Sure, there are more than just those 2 groups but you get the point. Doners that can and have supported, eventually, will stop throwing bad money away.

Aren’t all of the assistants on year-to-year contracts? Morris has a buyout somewhere around $2M. Why do we need $5-10M to make a change?

Can someone put an actual number to this?

This. I should practice more of this.

Is it a cancer or is it that we/they want to be successful so much that we’ll make uneducated or risky decisions to try to get there?

Yes. $35k for getting to a bowl game. $20k for 7 wins, which would essentially be winning the bowl game too.

Who’s ready for the off-season now?

I’m not sure I completely follow the math on the Herman contract. Wouldn’t 20 weeks always be lower? Here is an abridged version of the Morris contract. If I’m correct, my math says we can cut him loose right now for 1,980,000 —————- Morris will earn a base salary of $900,000 per year, plus guaranteed incentives, including a $300,000 annual radio/television stipend. The school would be required to pay 100% of Morris’ base salary for the first 36 months of the agreement, plus 60% of his base salary for the last 24 months if he is fired without cause.

No. I don’t want to reward my 6-7 team for beating another 6-7 team. #ReallyNewDenton

You sure said a lot for not having it in you to say 😂😂

His words are empty now.

No. Just no. In this scenario, Morris would have received an extension for beating Temple next week.

What are their athletic budgets? How deep are their donor pockets?

No. No extensions for appearances. 6-wins should not be rewarded in any way. Don’t reward mediocrity. Extension for conference championship games. Raise the standards. #ReallyNewDenton

Many will say basketball. I went to the golf course. Caught the end of the game when I got home. That’s where I’m at with this program now.
