I hope we win.That was not to be made public. We are in closed negotiation. And by the way, they aren't the only coaches expressing interest in our football head coaching vacancy that have requested I "accessorize my ensemble". The sacrifices that I am willing to make to have a great football program cannot be overstated. So far, I have agreed to wear a scarf on cooler days... and lip balm and wrist bands on warmer days.
Dr. Maggard and Dr. Savoie are 100% behind me (the best view) on holding our ground contractually. Each additional accessory any candidate requests of me, we are deducting $100,000 off of the base pay offering... and for each loss in a given season... I am allowed to remove an accessory for the next game... and the next... and so on. We are currently at an impasse as to whether my thong stays on or off if I'm out of accessories. Dr. Maggard voted it stay on... Dr. Savoie voted it comes off... I have the final and deciding vote.
As you can imagine... we are negotiating this contract to guarantee wins... or else.
