It's time to get smarter about hiring HC's, starting with cheap talent having 90%+ W rates

The risk is simply too high to be locked into 10 years, or have to fork up over $70,000,000. The next hire could be the exact same thing as this again which would require forking up $120 mil over a 4 to 5 year span. That's a reality that every fan must realize. Most don't want to think that it could be, but it could be the exact same thing again.

My advice is to go get the Ferris St head coach who led them and Chambliss to 50+ striaght wins and back to back to back Nati's in D2. Sign him to a 2 year, $3 mil contract. He only makes $200k per year now. He'd obviously sign that as it over 7x's his income, along with the notoriety of HC for LSU. If he sucks, buyout is easily manageable, sub $1 mil. You can continue to do this until maybe the 2nd or 3rd one works. That's only if the 1st one doesn't work, which it could.. This is at most a 4 year process. That is significantly better than giving a head coach a 10 year, $100 mil contract who sucks, then you have to accept mediocrity for 10 seasons. It also frees up so much money for NIL which is the only thing that players care about as evidenced by Texas Tech. We would afford to buy a much better roster with a head coach who isn't as financially demanding. Revenue sharing only adds another $20 million expense to the program leaving only less money to go to coaches. That's how the NFL works. Good players make more money than coaches.

I don't care what head coach you are a team of, winning 94 of the last 100 games and 3 Nati's in a row is elite. And he's only making $200k. I think going a route like this is exponentially better. There's absolutely no risk. His buyout would be $1.5 mil after just 1 season.

College football is stuck in a model that existed because there was no NIL or revenue share to go to players, so it freed up cash for coaches. That no longer exists. I think BK has 2 more years if I'm being honest unless Todd Graves has had enough. Todd, we all love you.

I don't care if someone disagrees with me, because I know as well as 1+1 equals 2, that this is absolutely the best way to do this. Moneyball. There is no argument against it. Oh, he sucks after 1 year? $1.5 mil buyout. Next FCS nati coach comes here after him, and goes 10-2 in his first year? Bam, problem solved. And you just saved $100,000,000 that can go to NIL. Money Ball for College Football

Never assume that because a process exists today, that it means it's the most efficient. Picture life in 1400. Picture life today. That change is solely because some people thought there was a better way to do something.
