re: Why are people shocked at the overpay? Did they forget who the AD is?

I get what you’re saying, but the way you’re saying it is strange. Mediocre contracts attract mediocre coaches. Would you want to be enjoying a game in TS taking a leak in a nice new bathroom while we get beaten to death on the field? There is a chicken vs egg element, but facilities are going to take a back seat to the on field entertainment. Again, I agree with you that upgrades need to be made. Just not made by getting cheap on the field.
