Good to have this confirmed. Hope it supports recruiting to have the veneer of stability. I don’t really think the term is so important, really it’s the buyout that’s key. Also pleased that it leans on bonuses rather than base pay. Happy to pay for success, so I hope the targets are set right, and include major achievements and recruiting. I heard Chip got a bonus this year for 6 wins, but that is called ‘doing your job’ not something that should be over and above. Also very good that Azz is gone - assuming that was Jarmond, he’s done well.

The whole contract negotiation has been strange to observe. I felt like it was two poker players that both had nothing, were bluffing, but also knew the other side had nothing and was bluffing too.

Chip: Give me a big raise or I’ll go. Jarmond: Go then. Jarmond: Sign here or we’ll fire you. Chip: With what money? Chip: I’m walking after the 15th - who can you get then? Jarmond: ….. Jarmond: Yeah, but there’s nowhere you’re going to be a head coach, what’ll you do then? Both: Let’s just sign an extension.
