It makes sense to vet Chip, but if the stories about him being a butthole are true then I don't think it will happen. Also, you have the NCAA stuff. My guess is that Stricklin will be extra sensitive about those sorts of thing in light of the reports about Mac not getting along with anybody and the recent suspensions.

Yeah Stricklin seems pretty sharp as ADs go. I'd imagine he knows enough to make a solid hire instead of a flashy one. Then again this has been a weird rear end few years in terms of hires around the country so who knows

I can't decide if I would LIKE Chip Kelly. I have a feeling it would be really fun to be in the spotlight for a while but ultimately end up a disaster.

Norvell's buyout is just over $4m, not the highest by any means.

He’s been pretty outspoken in the past about being a Tennessee “fan”. Todd Helton to be HC with Chamique Holdsclaw as HC-in-waiting.

Chip Kelly, to play devil's advocate, was a college coach for just four years, and he took over a program that was already doing well (even before his arrival as OC). His aspirations are all NFL, he dislikes recruiting, and his physique looks somewhat similar to that possessed by Butch Jones.

But there's not a ton of expectations for the mens bball team either. Granted they're higher than that especially with noted successful coach Rick Barnes coming in, but nobody really cares.

He was a head coach for four years, he was a college coach for a long time prior to that. And Oregon before he got there as the OC wasn’t even close to the level it was at with him or immediately after he left, outside of maybe one Joey Harrington season.

I wouldn't be surprised if Darren's right on at least that second front. ADs largely hate dealing with most traditional agents and I think you're going to see them start dying off more and more as coaches keep realizing just how expensive they are.

Agents gently caress their own clients over plenty though. Jimmy Sexton literally couldn't represent his own client fully in McElwain because he wanted so badly to get the deal on the next guy going in to Florida, which is a massive conflict of interest. They also almost always tie their compensation into the coach's deal and instead of being compensated one time for the contract work (like most standard contract lawyers), they create their own contracts with the coaches that lock them into paying the agents massive percentages for perpetuity, even if they haven't done anything since the contract.

Not disagreeing but agents exist because employers try to use legalese to gently caress employees at every step of the process. It's akin to trying to hustle a 5 year old, of course the kid won't be able to keep up with what you're saying and will just shake their head at the first thing they hear.
