Well...if Fisher is out as well as Stoops, Gundy, Strong...etc. It really looks like Gruden or Dooley 2.0! If it's Dooley 2.0 I think the Vol fan base will riot! Let's pray this is all smoke and mirrors for the hiring of Jon Gruden! As Smokey would say.....Jon MF'N Gruden is about to come to the sec and....well I don't remember the rest of his quote!
 
Let’s look at this from a strictly business standpoint. I am going to use a 5 year contract for each coach. I will use Patrick’s numbers with the exception that I added to Gruden’s.

Gruden 6 mil + 5 mil for staff total 11 million

Gundy 4 mil + 3.5 mil for staff + 600K for buyout (divided buyout by 5 years) total 8.1

Strong 3 mil + 3 mil for staff = 500k buyout 6.5 million


Here is the question is Gruden and staff worth the difference? Would you pay Gruden 3 million more than Gundy? What about 4.5 million more than Strong?

Would Gruden make this difference up or exceed it with ticket sales, advertising (how much TV time. There is a marketing formula for this) , donations, clothing sales, etc.

What do you think?

I believe thats the max of grudens contract anywhere between 10 mill and 11 mill. Also I think Strong would at least pay as much as we do now for a staff at 3.5 mill.

Either way I believe he is worth it. Next year doesn't look real promising for any coach. So the only one that has a chance to make money for the university is Gruden. I believe Gruden would recruit better than either and have the talent pile up quickly. I'm not saying Gundy or Strong couldn't win in the following years but I think it would be a slower build up.

The other thing is if you pay that kind of money for a coach that doesn't get the fan base fired up and then they flame out in 3 years we will be in a worse situation then than now. Gruden at least gets the fan base fired up immediately and makes the university money in the first couple years even if he does fail later(which I do not think would happen).

Smokey X,Welcome and please make yourself at home! I tried to quote your post but the data base errors would allow me to.:crazy:

I was starting to get excited that something was happening when I started getting those DB errors. Oh well...

Freak needs to increase the number of database connections in his connection pool, or increase the number of connections allowed in his database.

.....wreak havoc and coach circles around all the other coaches.:rock:
 
I must be old because I know what this meant, but didn't correctly know what fyp meant until recently. Thought the f was something other than "fixed your post."

OK Mr Acronym.... what does "SIAP" stand for? Still havent figured that one out.
 
I will let you know as soon as I can get away from this thread for a minute of two :whistling:.... I will reserach it oneday and let you know... but computer is to old and slow to open two windows at same time..:)

So you have tried?:eek:lol:
 
the more I keep reading the cliff notes on all the other coaching suspects... the more I'm starting to come back to the Gruden theory - he might really be coming... we'll see

The University I am sure has factored these numbers in. I bet they got the same results! :)

Whether or not it's Gruden, this is pretty crazy.

Even Arkansas' search is just as crazy.
