Raise and Extortion is Official

Contract runs through 2020, raise to 3.6mil/year.

 

First.

 

No increase in buyout or time tar for it decreasing? If so, whatever.

 

I'm in the wrong line of work. I want a raise and extension for not doing my job well

 

There's definitely an increase in the buyout. Don't think the number has been released yet though.

 

Hopefully the buyout increase is small (or front-loaded to this year, when we're not firing him anyways). Raising his salary to just above Kentucky's coach is expected, just hoping we haven't meaningfully tied ourselves down too long

 

This is more about leverage and job security than it is performance based. I get and completely understand that people will be upset about this but, it's all apart of the coaching world now.

 

He gets a raise for beating Vandy?

 

I mean, seriously. That's what it amounts to.

Sad.

 

I don't want to be a Tennessee fan anymore if 6-6 is what we consider raise worthy.

 

My feelings, too. This is my school, alma mater and team. I just can't believe that it has fallen so far that .500 and barely bowl eligible garners a raise and extension.

If some other team really wants Butch, and wants to pay him more with more years for a .500 record and cliches, they can have him.

I just want to win again. I just want to win.

 

there has to be a significant increase in the buyout.

 

Yep. I mean we are talking about the administration of Tennessee here.

 

Glad this is over. The Michigan thing was causing me to lose sleep.

 

I think you'd have a major problem getting his agent to agree with that.

 

Significant woukd royaly piss me off.

 

Thank goodness. Had heard Ohio State was looking to dump Meyer in order to land Butch.

 

This.

 

I bet it's gone up by at least $2-$3 mil.

 

Agree with what
