I honestly don't care what we're paying him.  As far as I'm concerned, it's just carving out room in the budget for the next guy (if it comes to that).

Agreed.  He's keeping those budgeted dollars warm.

I like the message we're sending.  Win a conference title, and you'll get paid more.

It's the principle of the thing.  If he sucks and we fire him, whatever, but we'll give him more immediately if he wins.

I approve of that strategy.  Let's be up near the top 3-4 schools in the conference in terms of salary.

He still makes less than Luke Hochevar

He also makes less than Turner Gill.

Yeah, it just kind of makes sense on how it should be done.

Luke's stock is rising as Winters continues to validate his greatness. Add Luke and Winters to my list! Also, EMAWBLAST! and Tobias!

If John was concerned about the job looking attractive he maybe should have not let a successful coach leave for a last-place team. I don't know. Just brainstorming here. There's no judgement in brainstorming.

Win a conference title, get a new contract. That's nothing shocking or surprising in the least.

Get a new contract, get higher expectations. Fail to meet those higher expectations, and you're gone.

This is a good thing IMO

Place additional chips beside the original bet, and point with one finger.

MOTION!

Do you think part of the new contract involves getting a ice cream stand not to be named put outside his office window?

The only possible downside is if he negotiated some huge buyout.  Otherwise there is only upside in this.

I'd just stick to the nihilism if I were you, leave the laying it in the line to the existentialists.

Do you think oscar has ever considered getting a Cherry Cheese Shake instead of chicken nuggets?

This isn't going to happen.  It will go the other way. When he starts failing to met expectations all you'll hear out of the tucks is stuff about how hard it is to sustain success and if the guy that gave us the 1st in 36 can't do it no one can. Then they'll throw in oscar's excuse of the day (and he'll have one) and he'll still be our coach.

It was something I typed quickly so I wouldn't get Luked, don't read too much into it.
