I’ve figured he is gone for a few days but the reports on Twitter are starting to flow… it’s over lots of smaller folks tweeting out it’s done

Go to the pro’s and don’t have to deal with NIL or transfers. Plus more money. It’s the Saban effect, he did not want to talk to kids about money and playing time When recruiting them.

Man it ain’t that much different. Players holding out, getting traded. Similar game, different lingo.

The only difference is the pros are completely about self interest. College still clinging on to interest of the greater whole, even if barely.

Does rev share not pale in comparison to big donor nil coffers?

Not necessarily unless they get “one off” contributions which I assume they’ve secured a few commitments this weekend. Keep in mind, Rev share is new money and first time budget allocations tend to be very sensitive discussions. Plus some think NIL may be tougher due to clearinghouse reviews (aka Deloitte). Rumor is LV Basketball received $3M in Rev share for this season. TN baseball was reportedly significantly less. For comparison, I don’t think TN baseball NIL has been anywhere near that number.

If we don’t hear by noon tomorrow then it means they definitely haven’t already agreed to a deal. All of this delaying then means the Giants would still be talking, looking at other candidates. They could very well decide to move on their next option instead of waiting for the guy with no experience in the MLBs. There’s some sports psychology at play too. There’s probably plenty of people inside the Giant’s organization who pushed back on the idea of hiring a college coach. The longer it goes, with them seeing their rivals playing for a World Series the more inclined they may become to push harder for a “safer” bet.

I recall several people posting about MLB manager salaries.

Here is a link to a good article I found:

frontofficesports.com

The Top 20 Highest-Paid MLB Managers

Cubs skipper Craig Counsell is the highest-paid MLB manager in 2024, after signing a 5-year, $40 million contract. Here is the full list.

Apparently Giants departed manager was at 4 mill which put him tied for 7th highest.

I simply can’t imagine a $3 million buyout is going to prevent an organization that made $553 million in 2024 from hiring their guy. If that truly is the only hang up, he’s gone.

MLB teams are the biggest cheapskates in town. They constantly cry poor even though they are all (even the bad ones) raking in at least 100mil a year. Half of them don't even have payroll that high.

I’m serious…has anyone heard the rumor that one of CTV’s nieces was denied admission to UT? I have zero idea if it’s true but that would just be icing on the cake if true.

It’s almost as if working on the current marriage and its flaws would pay much greater dues than leaving for the floozie at the bar. Quit flirting with an affair TV. Vol or not, you know what to do!
