Nice deflection. Can't compare ourselves to anyone else, except we do it all the time. You included.

My point stands.

It isn’t deflection, I️ don’t think tjoe will fire him. That doesn’t make me anything more than a person giving a realistic opinion. It doesn’t make me a hud lover or want to keep him here. It doesn’t make me the problem or whatever other bullsht y’all come up with for people who don’t agree. This university is capable of a lot of things that don’t get done on a daily basis...not sure why this is such a surprise.

The buyout goes to $1,000,000 after December 31, 2017.

Hudspeth would still be owed his remaining salary and premium benefit until June 30, 2018 as well. The University itself would be on the hook for the buyout portion due before June 30, 2018. RCAF/UL Foundation would be responsible for buyout portion after June 30, 2018.

Thanks for the specifics.

Where the hell did I ever accuse you of being a Hud lover? I haven't, so save it. I understand you don't believe it will happen, but you're saying he's not going to do it because it doesn't make financial sense, which is ridiculous.

I’m saying he isn’t going to and his reasoning will be financial. Does it really matter if it’s true or not? Would you feel better if he gets another year for a different reason? This Mike Lotief situation certainly doesn’t help either

My personal opinion is, he won't be our coach in 2018.

If he gets another year here, we may not recover for 5 years. I think Maggard and Alden know that; I think the timing is imperative, especially with the NCAA TV contracts coming up in 2020. I believe TJoe is being pressured to make a move, and I think it will happen. Unlike you and Metry, I have a very good hunch the money is available for the buyout...

I did and he was, just like me at one time. This discussion wasnt' about what TJoe will or will not do concerning Hudspeth. My post have been about whether the buyout is doable or even reasonable after January 1st. I've heard nothing to suggest it isn't at this point other than several people saying he won't or one particular jackazz telling me to do it myself.

Just an observation here... but why are the donors responsible for buying out his contract. Shouldn’t that money come from the university where he is employed? He’s not my employee so why should I give any money to buy him out? If donors give money to buy him out then it possibly could mean less money for future facility improvements to football and baseball where it’s desperately needed.

Yeah, I don't think public universities paying millions of dollars for a football coach to NOT coach would go well with the public.

This comment is equivalent to "That's not my job" guy. I employee a guy like this.
The whole operation could be going south, and when you ask him why he didn't try to do something to avoid the issue, his response is "well that's not my job".
If you people are serious about winning, sometimes, you're going to have to clean up a mess you didn't make. That's the difference between us and successful programs. Everyone wants to win but no one wants to take the difficult steps it takes to over come hurdles in order to get there.

How about this.. Let's just keep the guy here until the end of his contract, erase all the money and hard work we've already put in, and then ya'll will have an eternity of ____ to _____ about..

I can't make the arguments that we should, just that it is fairly reasonable to say it is not beyound our reach to do so after the season.
