UT wanted to make CJH one of the 10 highest paid CFB coaches. Of course, most of them are in the SEC, so he's still behind several rivals. If UT had made the playoffs, I believe he would've been among the top 5, but his contract is structured to incentivize performance. We'll see UT HCs in the top 5 in FB, MBB and BB if the programs continue to be championship-track. WBB and softball have work to do-- but the resources are there. Everything school-- leadership in all sports, academics and the community-- is very much a thing.

One interesting note is that there is not change in the contract to the buyout of Heupel leaving on his own. 4 million after this season. Drops a million each year.

You should understand by now that very few posters here understand the nature of BB.

Ding ding ding!

They don't understand the proper way to measure success in college basketball

 

[LadyVolette]

Them and Chicago-Loyola… we would have been a shoe in for the final four. Still mad… ha

Remember the nun.. Sister somebody for Loyola? Someone help me out..

The video stopped too soon. Was it a swing that went up the other side? Did they joyfully plummet to their deaths? Inquiring minds want to know.
If it’s a swing, I would like to try it. The happy death plummet, not so much.
At least it’s not in a cave…

What if there is a small underground cave at the bottom, filled with water to cushion the blow so they don't suffer instant death. But then the impact causes them to get stuck in between rocks and unable to free themselves due to the seat belts being damaged from the fall and they slowly drown.

Yes! Well deserved! Now we can end the threads…until he earns another raise.

 

[LadyVolette]

Sister Jean

Thank you lol..

 

[butchna]

With that salary, comes increased scrutiny. Fair or unfair. Just ask Rick. Hope he is ready for it. Honeymoon phase with our fanbase is officially over.

At this job you get max scrutiny…regardless of salary. Nothing’s increased or decreased. Only ones complaining won’t pay a cent.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Yep...I mostly lived in Murray County, but still in the Dalton area from 88-98. I did live in Dalton proper in 95-97.

I lived in Dalton near Tunnel Hill from 95-98. Coached at one of the High Schools. My youngest worked for a Missions organization on Fort Mountain several years ago. Beautiful area.

That’s something that I could definitely do. Up to 75mph falling in the swing. Sounds fun.
Gimme the wide open spaces anytime.

Agreed, looks fun to me.

Not sure why people think UT won't hire a great MBB coach to replace Barnes when he decides to retire. It's not like UT doesn't know it's coming or DW doesn't know what kind of HC will be a good fit. The template is there across all marquee sports. UT's HCs get along so well because they're a lot alike in critical ways. That's not a coincidence.

Curious as to the buy-out.

Tennessee's Josh Heupel gets big raise after leading Vols to 11-win season



"If Heupel were dismissed without cause prior to December 15, 2025, then Tennessee would owe him 100% of what he would be owed through the remained of the contract. The buyout drops to 75% if termination occurs between December 15, 2025 and December 14, 2027. On December 15, 2027, the buyout falls to 50%."


Edit: Unsure what he would owe if he left. Would it be the same amounts?

Danny White is a godsend. Best hire this university has ever made. Leadership matters.

I look at Rick as a relatively high floor lower ceiling coach based on track record. You’ll finish around 3-5 in your conference. Have a solid team and usually be ranked. Which that’s what Tennessee needs at the moment. It’s made the job more attractive along with a bunch of other new developments over the last 2 years under the new administration

I don’t even know what to say. Are you paying attention to basketball at all?

 

[volbeast33]

He is truly the victim of his own success. Texas had gone to 17 NCAAT's before Rick Barnes. He took them to 16. When we hire that mid-major coach after Barnes, it will be interesting to see how people react.

I have 100% confidence in DW making that hire.

I’d trust DW to get it right. Look at the quality of coaches he has hired at previous stops.

This I don't understand people who pretend like we won't or can't get someone better. White is a respected name, TN seems to have a good NIL in place, and I think our AD will throw money at the right guy. Plus let's not forget White was the one who found Oats. It's not a foregone conclusion that we can't or won't do better.
