Recruiting has never been too high on ole Houston's list of priority's. He's too damn lazy, plus it interferes with his pickup basketball games.

yeah, it's hard getting by on that $2.5M a year. can't believe some teams would expect loyalty for that salary?

its what every coach who is at a school like that makes. Its not that it isn't enough. Its just the nature of the beast. Its market value.

also, loyalty runs both ways. They can, and will, fire him at the drop of a hat. Again, nature of the beast.

Good point Fischer, although the school does have to pay a buyout in most cases if the they fire the coach. Not so much the case when a coach leaves.

The place that he leaves to has to buy him out. Same thing.

True, but I'm pretty sure those buyouts are way lower than what the school has to pay the coach if he is fired. At the college level coaches have most of the leverage when it comes to negotiating a new contract.

the school signs off on the contract. If they want to have a high buyout, they can.

Not if they want a big name or big up and coming coach. The coach has way more options than the school does, thus the coach having most of the leverage in negotiations.

well, that is a decision they have to make.
Once again, nature of the beast. Not saying its the best way to run things, but that is how it goes. Can't hold it against HDN for getting his.

I thought a couple of years ago, it was the ultimate in sorriness for a coach to leave his team during the season? My how times have changed! |

Oh I agree, if he thinks he can get more than why not. I was just saying college coaches have a lot more leverage than schools when it comes to negotiating contracts. It is a cut throat business, but if a coach fails he is still much better off than the school if they fire him.

agreed finch.
Cowtown, let me clarify. Leaving for a better job or pushing for more money during the offseason is fine, nature of the beast, that's how all coaches are hired.
Leaving in the middle of the season, without talking to your players because you failed miserably and are quiting. That's sorry.
