Sounds like vandy season might finally be over

Big time college athletics is just a strange dynamic when you have big money people who want to make the decisions instead of the President and AD who were hired (presumably approved by the same people) to do that job.

An incredibly weird dynamic caused by the fact that the team belongs to a school and is not privately owned by an individual(s), therefore benefactors to the program have power.

Any non-profit organization probably runs into the same issues. It's reliant on donors for significant portions of its funding, and therefore will be beholden to those donors when any big decisions come up. It isn't like it is owned by one guy who can tell those people off.

Why doesn't Auburn look to Dan Wolken for his pick?

The grass is not always greener, to be sure. In fact, I would say more often than not the grass isn't greener. But I think the "rules" you're talking about apply more in the real world when generational, life-changing money isn't thrown around and the raises usually aren't as substantial.

If I'm an accountant making $100k a year, I might not take a job offering to give me a 25% pay bump but would require me to move, would involve more hours, would likely be more stressful, etc.

I would almost argue the opposite. 25% is alot for someone making 100k compared to going from 3.5 million to 4.375 (25%). Again, he will make millions either way. He can be real picky when he decides to take a new job.

They're going to promote Steele and turn their program into a dumpster fire.

Seriously do not want him at Auburn. He’s a recruiting machine.

Until they have a Gruden thread equivalent, they're all a bunch of amateurs. VN knows how to do coaching searches.

Every single one. We already fish in the same pond.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Every single one. We already fish in the same pond.

Which is why we need to make a move on someone now

Gus OC for 1$ per year. Chavis style.

 

[SLICKYINC]

My vote is for him.

If it's a money issue, Oregon can match them in funds, but if secking was right about Cristobal wanting to return to the South....Well, that would suck.
