    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.

    Temporary bridge loan from the Foundation to finish construction. University issued bonds of about $9,500,000 to be repaid through donations over a 25 year period. Best guess is that the Russo donations will pay it down faster as though come in at $1,000,000 increments

    Something to consider. The liquidated damages portion goes to $0 after the 2018 season.

    Their donations amongst others from what I understand. The suite money will also be available this year to assist in paying the foundation back or so I've been told.

    Guy, they got the money already.

    All that is missing is the green light from T-Joe.

    Good to hear. I guess the only question is when does it happen? Do they have to wait till Jan 1 to lessen the cost or can they do it immediately after the season.

    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 agree, we essentially have 2 years to become a desirable program and become one of the potential 60-80 programs that make it out of the shuffle in 2020.

    Without fan support and a winning team, we wont need a bigger stadium or a high priced athletic administration when we are relagated to the Southland/Sunbelt at that time.

    This is the larger picture! Whether Dr. Savoie wants to spend the money will decide if we are in the mix.

    We are paying $1 million for a coach. We fire said coach to pay $500k each year for next three years. We hire new coach. We paid said new coach $500k until he proves himself. Thus, we pay the same with new coach as we would with old coach.

    Get out of here with your math and critical thinking skills.
