We Got Our Wish

[stillavol]

It seems everyone was wanting the Gators to hire Napier. They did so hoping that's a good thing for us.

Idk if I wanted Napier. I wanted them to keep Mullen forever.

 

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

They will lose a bunch to portal over this hire

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

They’ll beat us regardless

 

[Vol8188]

If I’m calculating this right JH has a 12 million dollar buyout. Meaning money shouldn’t be a probably with our next hire if it happens

8 million.

 

[Vol8188]

8 million.

I think it’s still 12 million until Dec 15th. I know it’s 75% of his remaining salary and he’s 4m a year through 2025 right? So I’m calculating 3/4 of 16 at 12 and then 8m after December 15th

But many on here did. I don't know about keeping Mullen. He was 5-0 against us. Then again even Muschamp had a winning record against us. Hopefully the Florida curse subsides. I'm sick of losing to them!

its 8 million but money has never been UT issue.

 

[Mr French]

Heupel would owe Tennessee $8 million if he leaves for another job prior to Dec. 15, 2022. That figure drops by $2 million in 2023 and 2024, then by $1 million in the final two years of the contract, which expires Dec. 15, 2026

you're thinking buyout if he got fired. Its 20 million until December 15, 2022 if we fired him. He would owe UT 8 million if he leaves.

So based off the exit fee penalty Oklahoma has to pay to Big12 that keeps fluctuating. Do you even see them willing to chance 8 million dollars? So yes this isn't necessarily a Tennessee question I know but that exit fee is still being negotiated last I heard and the Big12 is trying to rip Texas and Oklahoma off big time.

 

[stillavol]

How long before we see a Kiffin to Okla? Let the countdown begin.

I hope you're right.

money not an issue at Oklahoma. lot of oil money. not like A&M and Texas but lots..

Normally would agree with you…but I sense a change in the wind. It is a new day on Rocky Top. The mindset is different. These kids don’t play scared anymore

Lol. It’s not a good hire for us. Napier is a much better Xs and Os coach than UF has had in quite awhile. There will be no difference in the out comes of our games. UF beats us by 21+ next year in Neyland.

I'm still in shock that Tucker got 95 million from MSU. No oil money there to my knowledge. A&M will get their money back if they win. Those extra 20k seats they've been filling will pay for the renovations. If they win.

 

[jeff1vol]

Napier will outrecruit us, more than likely. His best coaching attribute is recruting without question. Thats NOT good for us. Especially with the fact we cant beat their worse team in years.

Sad but probably true.

Michigan State boosters are providing money not MSU

 

[stillavol]

I know that. That seems to be the norm in all big time hires. I'm from Michigan and though they have successful programs (especially basketball) their boosters aren't mentioned much. Like a T Bone Pickens, Haslam etc. Winners seem to pay for themselves. I remember when Alabama was criticized for paying Saban 4 million a year. Im sure they recouped their money lol.

That was on the backs of 2 people.

You can put that right back up your butt where you pulled it from. Lol.
