His contract is the reason he was able to stay so long.

Hahaha, touche!

I'm surprised Tech found a way out of that contract.

Hewitt had it f'n made.

 

[yont sum iss?]

Finally!

Congrats.

The ACC is ripe for GT to step up. Too many good players in Atlanta for the Wreck to be so lousy for so long.

They had a lot of those good players too. How you don't win more with the talent Hewitt had is disturbing. Folks in Atlanta should be rejoicing right about now

I think they all are celebrating with this news

GT could owe him up to 7 million though

Will be interesting to see who GT hires to replace Hewitt.

If I get a 7 million dollar buyout, I want an interview

They were going to have to pay through the nose to fire him whenever. Per GA (IIRC) he had a rolling 5-year contract that auto renewed every year at some exorbitant amount along with extra buyout moneyz.

Worst contract in the history of evar by GT.

Yep. The buyout never was going to get much less.

If Hewitt could have stayed in the vicinity of competitive he could have kept the job forever. his ACC record is flat out comical for a coach that stayed around so long.

Amen to that.

He was 72-104 in ACC play. And I believe he only had one winning record in conference play in 11 seasons.

Still unbelievable that one season got him the proverbial "lifetime contract."

 

[GAVol]

If Tech ever gets the right guy, they could become a force without even getting on a plane to recruit.

 

[GT09]

Still unbelievable that one season got him the proverbial "lifetime contract."

Amen.

Our old AD sucked...he's responsible for the Hewitt contract and Chan Gailey.
