Can't think of any names mentioned seriously that I would like less than this hire unless you count Saunders which no one seriously thought was a possibility. Otherwise I would prefer everyone else mentioned.
Literally no one with a brain ever considered the cost of the buyout a few years down the road. It's meaningless. The only thing his salary currently means is he was wildly overpaid for what it would've taken to get him + it shows we could've gotten an actual proven coach with a good track record.
Because one was the hottest name in coaching and could've picked where he wanted to go... the other couldn't get a mid major head coaching job and was wanted by zero other teams.
The point is that if you're hiring someone based on how easy it is to fire them in a few years, you should be fired right now for even considering that in your hiring.
Coyle desperately trying to justify this and sounds like he wasn't prepared to be questioned. Why in the world does he think that Johnson is going to be a great in state recruiter? Bamboozled. I wonder if the many head coaches he consulted were our rivals
Slept on it. Still incredibly disappointed, even more so considering how much he got paid. I would somewhat maybe sort of kind of not really understand it if he was paid half of what he is going to be... but that salary he got shows that it was nowhere near a budget issue why he was hired...
