What happened to paying big money for a coach?

[JFreak]

That's a BS number. He was making over $4M at Mississippi State.

Schiano not Mullen.

Great Football Coaches do not want to be told what to do by an AD who’s a puppet for the owner of the Cleveland Browns.

I asked a former AD from a small college this same question tonight and those were his words.

This I can believe.
Can the other boosters remove Haslam from his position.
And clearly Currie the puppet needs to go

Schiano was gonna make 3.5 mil. Wtf. Why will we not go out and spend big money on a coach? What were we top 1 or 2 in revenue last year. It doesn't make sense!

Because Currie is

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Big money only works if someone agrees to take it.

And if its even offered

You mean like we did with Patterson, Petersen, Gruden, and Strong in 2012? And Gruden, Mullen, and possibly Kelly this time around? Ya that sounds like a good plan..

We’re gonna pay Schiano 20 million according to some the posters on here..

My understanding is, we were going to pay Schiano $3.6 million annually to start. The $20 million figure was his buyout, though I have no idea why in this world why Currie would make it that high, except that he is the idiot he is. The figures came from some of the news outlets, I think Sports Illustrated and CBS Sports, but I'm not certain.

I'm sure 7 or 8 mil will change a few minds imho :hi:

Exactly!!!!!

People out there trying to say reason big time coached don’t want this job is because of fans, or unreasonable expectations are stupid.

The reason we get turned down is because our UTAD and boosters are jokes. And because we are t willing to spend money, we are bargain shopping.

Our administration and boosters literally DO NOT care about winning. Our biggest pro is our biggest Con which is the fan base. And what I mean is we are too LOYAL we are Sheep we feed them money and that’s all they care about.

So that’s why empty neyland stuff was important and should have happened, and that’s why I’m so proud of our fans for yesterday! We need to start making our voice heard.

Personally I don’t care what national media thinks and what other fan bases think. We have put up with too much crap for too long. We deserve better! Keep up the pressure, especially on the HASLAMS!

Stop spreading this false narrative. It's not true now and it wasn't true in 2012 either. Gruden not coming here is not about the money.

We offer people a raise but we dont offer what it actually take to get them. Big difference.

All our money went toward upgrading the stadium. We probably have a couple hundred dollars to spend on a coach. Wait, Wait John Currier, there's a high school coach in Morristown that you can hire. He clean with no baggage. What do you think? Oh, I forgot you have to run it threw Haslam.
