He'll def make us pay him the $3m (over 3 years), and I don't know if I blame him for that. That was Gene/Myers' stupid decision to enter into that contract despite having all the leverage in the world. If that's all this is, both sides simply need to be straight with each other and CTC (shout to 'Sheed).
If he wants to keep coaching or is holding out for something else that's untenable, Gene/Myers need to can his ass, but I don't think they will.
