Since you questioned me FiveStarFan:

No soup for you, one year!
 

I'm going to question you on this reason. I would highly doubt he travels up here without knowing he would only be getting a one year deal.
 

If it is true that it is a one year deal - I all for Mike Hohensee. Give him a shot. If he doesn't work out... then we have that money plus Dunbar's salary coming off the book.
 


If this post originated from

a building at the corner of 5th St and 14th Ave SE in Minneapolis I'd 100% believe its messenger.

This is so funny to me and justifies that you either have no idea what you what you are talking about or believing the trash that someone is telling you.

I was able to see your first post, and thanks for sharing the info you heard. This is a message board, we are not forced to have all of your facts checked like a newspaper or tv station. It's to share what we've heard/know...and usually that means reading the info 1st when it's not yet verified.

What you had said, about Fitch not wanting the job due to only a one year contact, makes complete sense. I know I would have a hard time taking a job during this economy that was only a year long. I also see the U's point, on this, if true - we're already paying out a lot of money to coaches, we can't continue to do that.
 

one year contract

Most coaches are on one year contracts and I almost guarantee you (without looking) that he is currently on a one year contract at ECU. They are all yearly contracts that auto renew at a certain date, unless not renewed by the head coach or athletic department.

He has likely had a one year contract every year for the past 20.
 



All I'm saying is that having traveled all the way up here to interview on such a important recruiting weekend he had to have known it to be a one year deal. Wasn't the total reason. May be what "he" said but thats not the whole story. Whatever we move on without him!

Didn't he say he talked to Fitch himself? (in his original post before soup nazi deletion).

That is true but it is hard to pick up and move your family every year to work with a coach you have little to no history with and who may or may not be around in a year or two as the pressure and expectations continue to build.

That's a great point, but that's the thing - I think there's a lot more job stability with a job you've had for a number of years, know the system, the HC, admins, etc...vs. a school that you don't know the in's and out's of, and a program that's gone through 3 coordinator changes in the past 2 years.

I'm just saying, if it were me, it'd be hard to take that risk, and that rational makes sense to me.
 

I'm a coach who is mildly interested in the Gopher offensive coordinator job
I'm seeing how Brewster will now have had 5 different coordinators in 6 possible spots over a 3 year span
I'm demanding a multi year contract too.
I'm just saying......

Yeah, but when you salary doubles its like having a two year contract at the old job anyway. I do get the moving your family part, no doubt.
