When will the AD ever learn? And did it during the pandemic. Brazen and they shouldn't make any excuses about financial distress.

I’m sure that’s why they made a point to forego the raise until next year.

This is gonna be a long year, a winning season will be tough. The extension is an attempt to keep the recruits committed. Not for a job well done on the field.

I"m totally on board with the wisdom of the extension. It's critical that our coaches be able to ensure those high value (4 and 5 star) recruits that there will be continuity in the program. That said...I'm not comfortable with a guaranteed $8,000.00 per week RAISE. Seems VERY premature at this point, regardless of how we THINK Coach Pruitt is doing. I like the guy. This isn't a comment on Pruitt himself, it's a question about how we compensate him.
Perhaps someone can enlighten me, as I don't follow coaching compensation packages. Is there any precedent in the NCAA for performance bonuses..?? Set some performance goals for the program..number of wins for example and when they are met...Coach gets a nice fat check. Beat Florida..add $$. Beat Bama..add $$$$. LOSE to Vanderbilt...YOU OWE US.
Just a thought.

Agents would never allow that.

I would think if anything this would help recruiting. For example, 21' Recruit Dylan Brooks said that he would remain committed and sign as long as Pruitt is still coach.

I like the move. Just think it’s odd because everyone’s finances are messed up this year. Must have had some outside support pick this up.

In 2008 before the season started Fuller signed a deal that extended or increased his contract for a 8 win season.

He is/was the 12th highest paid coach in the SEC. In 2021, he'll probably be 9th or 10th . . . so it's the cost of doing business and he's a good deal.

Maybe this has already been discussed? I think it's pretty cool, if it has been posted, it's deserving of a second post.
He declined a 400k raise, in order to help the athletic department.

This will be my first controversial post since joining this board but I think the optics on this are bad. The program is bleeding money and hitting up donors like crazy and then they announce a 400k raise to the highest paid guy there? I don't get it. I love Pruitt but I doubt anyone is out to get him right now, and even if there is someone wanting to poach him we can always counter and outspend anyone. Again, I am glad Pruitt is getting paid. I still think he is the coach to get us out of the basement. I just think the timing of this stinks.
