Huff will not change, and Spears does not fire coaches?.oh wait!!!

[svherd]

We don't have anyone willing to pony up the money to buy him out. If we did, I think Spears would pull the trigger.

What is his exact buyout figure?

[herd2win]

It is not a money issue as Huff only has 1 year left.  The scary part is as Huff gets further away from using Docs players the worse the team gets.

How in the world can Huff won't try another QB.

[GoHerd35]

Huff will not change, and Spears does not fire coaches?.oh wait!!!

Spears has fired or not renewed contracts of four coaches in less than two years.

Waggoner, Smalls, Kemper, and Swan.

$755,500 i believe, less what he makes at his new gig ge gets where ever that may be.

[herdfan129]

At this point, we can?t afford to keep his sorry ass.

Firing Huff is the only thing that?s going to get most of us back in the stadium next year.

[Johnnyherd]

He's going to finish out his contract.  Why would any donor bother to waste their money?  "Here you go buddy here is $800,000 from my bank account, directly to you, now go take the full year off and enjoy yourself, for being bad at your job."

Of all the things you could waste a million dollars on, and get nothing for your money, this has to be the near worst.

Not an issue.

That is very short sided.  It will cost the university way more in lost revenue and further demise to the program to keep Huff then pay the $800k.

Yep.
It's kinda like poker...you have to know when to fold, regardless of how much money that you've thrown into the pot.

Yes, and honestly if we don't have that type of money as a D1 program then we should just give up and drop a level.  Everyone always saying how poor we are and this and that.  We spend near the top of the league in football budget.  No reason we are this bad!

[Johnnyherd]

Answer this honestly, would any of you give $50,000 towards Coach Huffs buyout? 

I'm betting you wouldn't in a million years, give your hard earned money to such a worthy cause.

Huff is gonzo

Turned down extension and no way we are extending him now.

He won't stay as a lame duck. He'll leave to try and save his career

Would you?  If I was financially able to, yes I would.

I'm hoping that the "purge the assistants" or the "move the deck chairs" sales proposal falls on Spears' deaf ears.

[Johnnyherd]

Not bragging in the least but I could,  but would I give 50 or 100k to buyout Huff?  Absolutely not.  I would never reward a coach that failed by giving him my hard earned money.

Next season is almost guaranteed to be a train wreck, even if Huff somehow leaves and the odds, of a new coach being able to recruit all the positions we are lacking talent in and install his system, are slim to none.

Next year is gonna be terrible without a doubt.  Unless we someone get a whole offense through the portal.  We lose what little talent we have on both sides of the ball.  We will be historically bad.

Yep, coaching change or not, 2024 may not be any better than this year. Unless we have a totally new staff and they make miracle gains via the portal. If that doesn't happen, we're looking at 2025 until we will have a chance to be decent. Jmho

It would be around 500k most likely, and if they don't, they will lose millions next season. I know i wouldn't renew tickets. I wouldn't be alone. I'm not to the point of cutting my donations yet, but it's not out of the question.

[Big City]

Based on what we've seen the last two weeks; time to cut bait. Need to start moving in a new direction. Heck, do it before November is over, no need to drag it out.

[bbcard1]

If we were going to get a donor to pony up 750K in this day and age, wouldn't it be better spent on NIL?

Paying NIL money for  player when the coach and his staff can't use him effectively is just a waste of money.  Can Fluff then worry about the money for players.

No

Fluff gotta go

[The Right Stuff]

Huff is not going anywhere.  He may get an ultimatum to send his coordinators packing but that is about it.
