Could any of you post a link to what coaches have which agents???....Like Sexton, Elias, etc. Who is Frank Wilson's agent. I know that Sabanites all have Sexton. He makes a ton of money off of them!

Great Thread




I hate $exton clients. I think he promotes his clients moving around.



I hope LSU stays away from his clients as they are info conduits for him that IMO can hurt a programs stability

Well no shite. He does well for his clients however I believe he promotes them moving around and staying loyal only to the dollar as thats what benefits him the most.

Agents do what is in the best interest of...agents. More moving around equals more money for agents

Russ Campbell - Bobby Petrino, Gene Chizik, Larry Fedora, Larry Blakeney and Mike Shula.

LINK

Jimmy Sexton - Houston Nutt and Nick Saban in the SEC and then a whole bunch of others outside the SEC.

I agree but I believe some agents do have some sense of loyalty.


I believe some agents would not really put up that much of a sales pitch for their clients leaving if Money were the same. With $exton I dont believe thats the case. JMO

Putting Elias in same sentence with Sexton is comical.

Agents do what is in best interest of their clients by definition. At the end of the day, it is the client (coach) who makes the decision to chase the money, the agent just gets the offer on the table.

Such a logical concept...yet I am constantly amazed at the number of posters on this site that think the agents have these coaches on a leash and drag them around.

wrong. Agents and coaches(and players) both want guaranteed long term deals. This is true in CFB the NFL MLB and NBA.

Sexton has said that his coach clients bring in less than 15% of his firms earnings.

The only loyalty agents have is to money. Churning coaching jobs makes them more money. Sometimes just pretending you guy is being approached (Nutt) gets him a raise. I can't imagine an agent telling his client to pass up more money and stay at Old Iveyhalls U just because he likes the team colors.
