Champagne Taste Vs. Beer Pocketbook

Let me ask you a question. If at your current job, you made $250K or more and your boss came in and said either you stay here and do nothing and get $250K for the next two years or you can leave your job and go and get a job at your previous level, which pays about $125K, what would you do, knowing full well that the $125K job (at most) will be plentiful whenever you want to go look?
He ain't leaving with us paying nothing. There will be a buyout of some level--its just a matter of how much and for how many years. Next year will be his last year on this current contract, no matter what. He will either get an extension if we are winning or he will be bought out for his last year of salary, which would allow us to pay a new coach more than what we could afford to pay Dodge while Dickey was still collecting a check from us.

I think its a pride thing. Do you really think a former DI head coach would stay on at a program reporting to the urinal scrubber?

How do we know we are going to be able to afford that? If so basically you are saying that 250k is what is holding back this decision fire TD and to hire a top notch coach.
