what the gently caress is happening at Maryland  quote:AD Kevin Anderson has been placed on administrative leave through August 2018, as first reported by Bobby Blanco of MASN. Maryland insists Anderson is still on staff as AD. Anderson has reportedly been on leave since Oct. 1 as Maryland president Wallace Loh is upset Anderson pursued the open AD job at Cal. Update: A Maryland spokesman told ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg that Anderson is not on leave and will not be fired although “there could be an update on the situation later this week.”

So if you want Matt Campbell, you gonna owe Iowa State hella dollars  TL/DR: Matt's buyout after this year is $9,400,000. That's not a typo. E: FBScoop posted:In the closest recent example we could find, Colorado State tried to fence in Jim McElwain with a $7.5 million buyout. The Gators eventually smoked McElwain out of Fort Collins thanks in large part to a public campaign run by then-AD Jeremy Foley that made the idea of McElwain returning to Colorado State impossible for both sides, but Florida wasn’t stroking a $7.5 million check to get him. Instead, Florida paid $3 million, McElwain himself covered $2 million and Florida made up the difference by paying Colorado State $2 million for a game at The Swamp in 2018.

YOLOsubmarine posted:His reason would be to go to a school where he can actually get enough talent to win something meaningful. And to not be stuck in Starkville. He is paid $4.5 million to cruise through a division where nothing matters while Saban is at Bama. He's also a terrible interview. There's more than a few reasons he's been at Starkville for so long.

YOLOsubmarine posted:Your argument was “why would he leave Starkville” and the answer is “he would, and he’s tried in the past, he just hasn’t gotten an offer.” Yeah i should have explained that better. He's tried to leave before but I think at this point he's pretty comfortable where he's at. He's basically a god to Miss. State and he himself has hosed up previous attempts to leave anyway. I'd imagine he's pretty well planted at this point. E: Moreover, I'd imagine Stricklin wants to hire someone himself at this point. I don't think Stricklin was the full time AD at Miss State yet when they hired Mullen. DJExile fucked around with this message at 20:44 on Oct 29, 2017 |

quote:Florida: Brett McMurphy reports that Jim McElwain may only get $4 million of his $12.9 million buyout because of the “way he disclosed death threats and (McElwain’s) agent’s ties to other candidates.” McMurphy expands, noting a source told him “Sexton won’t fight it because it’s not in his best long-term interest” noting that Jimmy also represents Dan Mullen and other clients. lmao that is a loving amazing conflict of interest with Sexton. You can't fully represent McElwain becaue you want so badly to be the guy who lands the next deal. Agents are amazingly scummy.

Thoguh posted:Yeah that seems like something that would really hurt his ability to get clients if true. Word about the bad side of agents is getting out there more and more among coaches. Athletic Directors largely hate dealing with them because they're pains in the rear end. Coaches get more and more annoyed with them partly for poo poo like this, partly also because as soon as the coach has their job (whether or not the agent did much to help), they're still paying the agent large percentages of their pay every quarter because of the scummy agreements they originally sign with the agent (that the coaches themselves very rarely ever read through).

someone dug into the buyout language of Willie Taggert and he's a lot more available than it seemsquote:Florida — or anyone else — could pay $3 million up front and get it over with. Or it could prorate the entire buyout over the course of the contract. Three million dollars spread out over 48 months is $62,500 per month.

nate fisher posted:Just curious do you really think it is smart money to bring back Jones to save on the buyout? He will end up with 5-6 wins in year 5, and if he comes back next year he will be top name of every hot list. Recruiting will take a beating. Someone mentioned it earlier but I think his buyout drops a bit at the end of this season. Could be they're waiting for that.

MourningView posted:Hypothetical question to Iowa State fans. Let's say Campbell leaves. I'm less convinced than a lot of people that he will, because I know they're really supportive of athletics and will give him a good contract, and none of likely open jobs except maybe Nebraska seem like a slam dunk fit for him. But ISU is also a super hard place to sustain success, he's young and ambitious, and he very well may never be in this position again. If he leaves, do you just keep things rolling and promote Manning to HC? He seems like the obvious star of the staff and I'd think you'd want to keep some continuity with the best team you've had in over a decade, so to me that's the clear move (you could also just go after Candle, who's doing super well at Toledo and has already worked with a lot of staff, but I think you probably lose Manning to a better OC/OL job then). I'm interested in what ISU fans think though, and if they'd want to chase a bigger or more experienced name. Jury's still out on Candle for now, he's still very much running on Campbell's recruits.

lmaoFBScoops posted:Mack Brown is making a push to become the next Texas AD, according to Geoff Ketchum of Orangebloods. However, Ketchum reports that Longhorns stakeholders have reservations about Brown’s fitness for the position and that TCU’s Chris Del Conte — who worked with Tom Herman at Rice — is the name most commonly mentioned for the job. Former Longhorn football player Mike Perrin has served as UT’s long-term interim AD since 2015, and interviews are expected to begin in earnest early next year.

I think he might be a good AD in the ambassador/glad-handing sense. Like what USC has with Lynn Swann. No idea if he knows how to run an athletic department but he wouldn't be the first.

Crotch Bat posted:Anyone signing another person or entity hates dealing with agents because agents are educated and designed to prevent their client from getting hosed over which, make absolutely no mistake, every company or school will do to a perspective client or coach if given the opportunity. 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.
