DRC: UNT has finalized deals with McCasland, Mitchell, is considering revisiting McCasland's deal

"Everyone lives within 45 minutes of the Super Pit," McCasland said. "We always wanted it to be about family. Our players' and coaches' families are part of it." (Vito blurb from DRC).
 

To my knowledge, no UNT HBC has ever had the BOR’s, the President & AD all on the same page as Coach McCasland.  I hope this happy marriage continues & I think it will.  He needs to be the highest paid coach in CUSA.

I’d love to see Coach Mac photoshopped in the Leo DeCaprio scene.  
 

Get me a 3rd grader, please.

Great news.

WELL DESERVED.

Great news. Hopefully Jalie can get the ladies back to a postseason tournament in a full 2021-22 season.

I am confused. I am assuming all the talk about Grant leaving is that this new contract would get bought out?

Why would he sign an extension just to turn around and leave less than 2 weeks later? Am I missing something?

BigWillie's Current Employer:   "Hi BigWillie, come in & have a seat!    Look, you've been really exceeding our expectations and we'd like to give you a big raise!  What do you think?"

...of course, your answer would be?

[1 WEEK LATER]

A more-prestigious Company's Recruiter:  "Hi BigWillie, we've heard all about what you've done at XYZ-corp, and you sound like someone we'd like to have in that same role at our company.    We'd like to hire you ASAP and we're willing to quadruple your current salary.   What do you think?"

... of course, your answer would be?

[UNTLifer]

No.  You sign the extension and then the dominos started to fall.  You can't wait on speculation.  You have to take care of yourself first.

Thanks guys, that's what I figured, just thought we locked up Grant, but this is a business and there is not much "locking" up that can happen.

Plus it resets his buyout right? So if tech does come calling they will have to pay even more to get him out of our contract.

And since Texas has to give them four million for stealing their coach away and they would definitely not pay Grant five million like Beard, they will be flush with cash for a buyout.

if Grant signs a contract extension doesn't the BOR have to approved first to make it official, so if he leaves immediately would still be on the old contract.
