I believe Tressel has a "show cause" against him and any school wanting to hire him would have to appear before the NCAA before doing so.
Arky Sounds Serious About Hiring a Coach - Agree on 6 million/year Salary
- Thread starter RTR91
- Start date
Yea I dont think announcing how much you're willing to pay is a good way to deal with negotiations later in the hiring process, I'll call b.s. on this one.
I always thought winning over half your games in Tampa Bay was like winning the Super Bowl most places...
I still live here & you nailed it 100%. He created a lot of division on the team and temper he was brought in to run the offense which never really clicked, they had a separate contract for Monte & his coaches.
I wouldn't be shocked that Arky is willing to pay a salary that high. A few weeks ago I heard the growth of the athletic dept. revenue during Petrino's tenure, and it was in the tens of millions.
HOWEVER, if the powers there said "OK, we can go up to $6MM for the right coach", then it is utter stupidity to let this news get out. Now, the first candidate they offer, whether he's WORTH $6MM or not, is going to demand that salary. All negotiating power is gone. It's hard to imagine that anyone in charge of that kind of budget would be so clueless.

They should have a surplus of money since they got out of paying Petrino's salary, bonus and etc :biggrin:
A few seasons ago. Do you not remember the media's reaction to the move? :wink:
Saban is a steal for what he does and the $$$ he generates for the university.
Yes he does have a "show cause" earmark in the NCAA file, so he is not going anywhere until some time passes and he gets that lifted.
Speaking of Gundy, I think he would be a good fit with the hogs. He has the mentality of airing it out, which seems to be the focus of Arkansas. But, $6 million might be a little steep.
Not only that, but if they do hire him, whatever penalties are imposed on him are automatically cloned tot he school. IOW, hiring Tresell means you are immediately in hot water with the NCAA...
How is that possible? I thought AU already hired him. Remember its a "God thing." :biggrin2:
Yea I remember them saying how it was the wrong move and that he was the worst coach of all time. Gotta love the media these days.
The fambly has been smoking too much spice:eek2:
I got it! I will go there and coach, do awful and for my pathetic job I will get millions in a buyout. I win!
I'd take half that for a 1- or even a 2-year interim until they hired a real coach. Who do I contact?
