Local word is that the salary isn't going to be as big a gap as reported. On paper it's about a 50% pay cut, but the "under the table" (house, car, services, appearance fees, etc) money will more than make up for it.

Another rumor is that he is a very religious man and the appeal of the Church Capital of the south was too much.

Lastly, his is great friends with Freeze. Apparently Freeze called him on Monday and sold him on the fact that the schedule is winnable and the roster is stacked for a couple of years. This could be a stepping stone to a huge payday down the road - i.e. the Texas job. More upside in the next few years than Auburn could offer.

104.5 the Zone in Nashville repeated a rumor today on air that when GM interviewed at Vandy he was asked if he could sign a sworn statement to the effect that no taint from the Cam Newton scandal would follow him from AU and he told them he could not sign it.

Didn't he also ask Vandy to commit (presumably in writing) to upgrade the facilities, etc.? If I recall correctly, Vandy was unwilling to do that.

Just spitballing here but most coaches have a buyout clause in their contract, if they leave for a lateral move they owe the school. If they leave for a promotion (OC to HC) they do not owe anything.

I've never heard of an assistant coach having to pay a buyout - I suppose it could be, just never heard of assistants signing something like that.

When u pay an assistant 1.3 that's a good idea. Something Hamilton would never have done.

Vandy offered too much money. WTF is wrong with this dude?

Noone wants to work at that sh*t school (football wise). That's where you go to see your career die. I agree he should have took it though. Vandy > Arkansas state. But only because the are mooching off of, I mean in the SEC.

Very religious man? Um didn't he bone someones wife he worked with. Sounds like a hypocrite at best to me.
