re: Pittman has lost his team

Why wait another year? Is it the AD waiting for the buyout to drop after next year?

The buyout difference is about $5M, maybe a little more difference but they are about to have to blowout the entire offesnive staff and have to overpay for a new one because no one wants to come OC for a lame duck unless they are going to get rich doing it.

The AD also does not know how to hire a FB coach (his specialty is basketball) and he has openly made enemies with Sexton, so many of his clients won't even talk to the school now.

The AD is also arrogantly tied his wagon to Pittman, so much so that the school is basically just thumbing it's nose at the fanbase at this point.

The Board of Trustees are also pretty toothless and scared of "optics" of burning through coaches every 3-4 yrs.

Overall, the big time boosters are actually too rich to actually care that much about the program and the admin is too arrogant and egotistical to actually bend to the will of the fans and admit they were wrong.

The high ups despised Petrino because he didn't kiss their arse and told tjem to fuk off but they are happier now with 4 wins and a basement program but the head coach kisses pumps plenty of sunshine up their asses.

It's a complete shitshow and has been really ever since Frank retired. He was a lot of things and he ran off a lot of coaches, but he did not tolerate losers and apathy.
