Does Jimmy Sexton .............

[OrangeInKy]

OWN the SEC.
Currently reps 11 of the 14 Coaches.
He is supposedly slowing down Bamas process allowing "his" Coaches to get raises as they say NO!
Anyway just announced the Washington Coach - Deboer (who is being rumored as a top candidate.....) just switched to
Sexton as his Agent.
It is interesting and fun to watch!!

He has basically owned it for a while. Him pulling off the Fulmer extension and buyout when NOBODY was coming after him, is some tremendous work. A work of art, really. It wasn’t on Hamilton as much the others who were running things back then. He’s great at his job, and he takes advantage of the people who are out of his his league. Any of us would want someone to work on our behalf to maximize our value, create demand, etc etc. I hate they Ut was on the other end of it, but he’s good at what he does

Not that I’m aware of. Gotta think White would be making more than $2.2m if he was. Definitely would assume Byrne would be making more than the $1.5m range. Still wouldn’t be a conflict of interest if he did.

Now if he was an AD of a university, we might be onto something

If an AD and a coach involved in a search were both clients then I could see that being a conflict of interest. If he’s not reping ADs then its not a conflict, at most its a monopoly.

i guess in the fact that you could argue he’s trying to help his AD client.

At the end of the day though, he’s not making the hire(s), only negotiating the financials. It’s about who the AD (and school) wants and how much the school (and donors) are willing to pay. If they all match up, the hire is made

And coaches would cut ties the moment they found out any of their brethren got short changed

I saw an article on Forbes that said Jimmy Sexton made $31 million in 2020 from his cuts from contracts he ‘negotiated’. And honestly, I’m torn. He is a former Vol who virtually created this industry. But on the other hand, everyone knows that he is absolutely plundering taxpayer money in several states. I’m all about capitalism, but what he is doing just feels a little bit dirty to me. You know what, I had better probably sit this one out.

Coaching salaries aren't paid out of taxpayer money.

I’m just trying to wrap my head around how he reasoned this as a conflict of interest or even more mind boggling how he got several likes out of that post? I’m not sure some understand what a conflict of interest is?

I think he simply thinks that it is "unfair" (an inherently subjective term) that these coaches get raises simply because of a coaching carousel, and he has all the information because he represents 80% of SEC coaches.

Sexton isn't putting a gun to the school's head to give these raises, and all of these schools are free to call their coach's bluff if they think they're using their connection with another job purely for leverage.
