Lessons seem somewhat learned

Just don't give him an extension until after year 5.

Seems reasonable (given where HC salaries are now)

Seems a little aggressive for an unknown but maybe that’s what it took to get him to leave

But it’s a great deal for the Aggies!!

Well done !!

Outside the top 3 (and maybe even #3) all those dudes are way over-paid.

Napier. Good grief.

Do you think those incentives are stacked? or just for the highest one achieved?
