Oh, ok. Didn't catch the two tweet thing. I don't spend much time on Twitter. And yes, the extension has been on the table for 2 years. Maybe it is a new one?It was two tweets. you can only have so many characters in one tweet.
I think he said he would look at the possibility of an extension. Hopefully it is one with a low base-salary.About the only reason it makes sense now is for Recruiting or to complete a deal that has been done for sometime. But didn't Pres K, state nothing would happen until a new AD was hired?

I thought it was just during the season?
Maturi extension? I guess Tubby is getting fired next season.

It was with the lawyers for 2 years. Who knows what that means. Could be practice facility related.If the contract has been on the table, as an offer from the U of M and not Maturi, doesn't Tubby just have to sign it? Is Tubby waiting for a Practice Facility Clause?
Wait...Dpo...are you telling us you follow Reusse on twitter?
If so, good lord, why?
Yes. *Hangs head in shame.* He is an insufferable d*ck, but he does pass along good info from time-to-time (case in point). I actually have quite a few people I follow who I can't stand because they pass along good info. Joe Schmit, Marcus Fuller, Myron Medcalf (when he was here), Justin Gaard, etc. Phil Mackey is the biggest knob on the planet and I even follow him.
And how about a contract that is 90% incentives based for Tubby and guarantees a practice facility?
Seems like it would make everyone that is neither Tubby nor the U happy.
A couple points I disagree on:At this point the offer should be base pay of $1 mil
$500k for a .500 BIG record
$250k for selection in the NCAA Tourney
$250K for a top 20 recruiting class the following spring (based on Scout not on Rivals or ESPN. I be willing negotiate the average of the three however, if i were AD)
$1Mil in deferred compensation that is used to purchase stock for Facebook thus yielding $20 mil & naming rights to the "Tubby Smith Practice Facility." 5 years from now we can break ground on it.
A couple points I disagree on:
I'd say $350k for a .500 B1G record then add $650k for B1G regular season champs
$250k for winning the B1G Tournament
Why does the rankings need to based on scout?
Why would we wait that long to break ground on the practice facility when we need one NOW?
Who cares what the players are rated as long as they win?
Absolutely!
It means the contract is now virtually encrypted.It was with the lawyers for 2 years. Who knows what that means. Could be practice facility related.
