Yup. The big auto guaranteed money contracts needs to go away like the "coach in waiting" tag.

You would think there would be more incentive to be coach of the year. If he takes them to a 2 loss season that's probably more than 50k of work.

It’s more than $50k of work but is it more than $7,050,000 of work?
