Travis Haney Drops the Hammer

Do you like losing money?

 

Haha, I love this argument. I also love pointing out he was 1b both times and didn't make the BCS tie in bowl for conference champ.

 

Thank God we gave him the extension when we did, when he figures out how to get some confidence, he's going to demand much more money.

 

You might if you absolutely hated where you were and you were aging two years in one.

 

I've known people to take less money for better quality of life.

 

I think once you're earning in the millions, other factors play larger roles.

That's not to say he'd go from 4M to 1M, but you reach a point where you're good on money, maybe you need more happiness, less stress. Maybe not.

 

I hate where I am.

 

At some point you've reached a point where a million doesn't matter for me. Now answer my question.

I'm going to guess no to both, so you are not Botch.

 

There's no such thing as having too much money. - hatvol96

 

MO money, mo problems

 

But if you're a team who has literally never won a conference championship (historical best result is losing a tiebreaker for your division crown), don't you take a guy who has tied for the conference title in two of his three years in that conference?

 

Yeah, but the team with 6 national titles shouldn't ever touch him

 

Then your issue should be with whomever gave him that contract, with those known issues, not with his unwillingness to walk away from it.

 

I'll be the first in line to upsell his accomplishments to USF or Temple or whoever else wants to hear it.

 

My problems just start with Butch. Much like I don't put any blame on Jumper for playing middle linebacker, I put only part of the blame on Butch for being here. A majority of the blame is placed on Hart and his bosses. Except for the president, they are all gone or going away, and I feel Jones is on life support until the new AD finds a replacement.

 

I have issues with that idiot, too

 

I have issues with all of them too. But his his unwillingness to simply walk away from money isn't one of them.

 

You might if your current job was likely to end, permanently damaging your reputation and potentially ending your career, when a different job might last many years and allow you to potentially rebuild your reputation and regain if not surpass your earning power.

 

I would be making twice what I do now if I had stayed in a factory. I would have hated life, but I'd have more money. I'm glad I chose what I did.

 

I've turned down jobs for more money because I like where I'm at.
