Integrity gets you nowhere in college football. Willingham has intergity look at how ND treated him. The only thing thats gets you anything is winning. Miles has integrity, but let him lose 5-6 two yrs in a row and see where he is. Hell, Solich has about as much integrity as one can have, the guy spent like 25 -30 yrs at Neb only to get canned after losing 3 games in a season.


Man, everything is setup in the coach's favor right now. Solich had integrity. Yes, he did. But, i wonder how much Nebraska paid him after they let him go. The schools are the ones getting screwed right now. they already pay coaches WAAAAY too much money as it is.

If a coach gets fired from a school, the school has to pay him the $$$. Like in Miles revised contract, if we fired him today, we would owe him $15 million. That's HUGE!!

Let's not use Mich as an example b/c of the buyout, but lets say if Miles left for Texas, he owes us $0. This system is in favor of the coaches. LSU would be screwed. It's absurd that college teams have gotten so desparate to win.

The schools need to swing this back our way using large buyouts to keep these coaches committed.

Not quite true, as far as I know.

Miles would owe us about $250,000 if he left for any job except Michigan, which is chump-change as far as a head coach's salary goes, but it's still more than him being able to walk away for free.
