Maybe a light bulb has finally gone off in some of these moron AD's heads. It only took 76M lol. Long term big contracts off short terms results is dumb. Kevin White mentioned coaching contracts too in that article about revenue sharing. Pay for actual results not the unknown and don't give heads i win tails you lose deals.
It doesn't matter if everyone is stupid, it doesn't mean you have to be too. In "real life" if plenty of businesses make dumb financial decisions they all go out of business. The smart, resourceful, constructive ones have the chance to survive and possibly thrive. CFB ADs don't face that reality and they operate irresponsibly because of it.
From the article:
While I recommend you listen to the full interview in the link above, Bjorks’ comments regarding a new incentive-based contract that will be given upfront in the first set of monetary negotiations is the right idea, which was avoided when Fisher was hired in 2017.
Again, this isn’t a difficult concept to understand when it comes to truly competing for championships, or at the least, contending consistently. Yes, Bjork deserves the blame for extending Fisher’s massive deal after one successful season in 2020, but everyone deserves a mulligan, and it looks like he’s learned from that mistake during this search.
In a recent interview, Texas A&M AD Ross Bjork noted that an incentives-based deal is likely in the cards for the next Aggie head coach.
