do we let new coach go to tulane if they come in and offer 1mm or do we match it and keep him?

You match, but no extensions for non winning seasons and non major Bowl games.

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.

The university is only able to pay an annual portion of his salary of somewhere around $225,000 give or take. That's it and its law. That means for all this other money he is paid it is supplemented by RCAF. I agree with Jack, I don't see how the public would go for spending public dollars to pay out a current coaches remaining contract. I don't even think it would be legal but I'm no attorney.

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.

Can someone explain Alden's role here? He is just a consultant?

[Kid Cajun]

Next contract should have most of the bonus/incentive and salary above base salary be contingent on WINNING THE CONFERENCE TITLE

You answered your own question...

Here is the question I am wondering. What is our Return on Investment on the $1MM for firing Coach Hud. How many additional Season Tickets in dollars will we sell next season? How many new donors/increased donations will have? If you can reasonable assume these two amount are greater than the $1MM buyout. You pull the trigger. If not then you need to make a plan for the difference.

I was told the numbers from this season, season ticket sales, tailgate lots, RV lots, concessions, football attire, RCAF memberships for parking passes, etc; will be given to Dr
Savoie at the end of the season. You can start with the facts that season ticket sales were around 7,600 and 200 less parking passes were purchased.

Metry, the two situations are not even close to the same thing, most glaringly, the numbers.
$17 million for a stadium
$1 million for a buyout, in installments.

If you ask me, $1 million for a fresh start in football is a bargain.

And... Metry isn't including the fact that revenues are dwindling under Hud. It is a "fresh start"... but it also places a tourniquet on the revenue bleed.

If I could do it, I would! It would be worth it just to see your reaction when Magic Mike and his tight shirt are gone.

....Damn Cajun T.....what happened between you and Coach HUD? You were helping in recruiting and semi reporting and your posts have turned to hate with name calling and other insults....what happened? But this was mentioned in the past when you went 180....Can you share your feelings???
