Higher salary pool but doesn’t have to pay an OC. Interesting

Damn.......

And good.

 

[mizzoufan90]

Geez. No more complaints that we were scared to step up. This is a massive commitment.

 

[austinanderson]

Big boy contract.

Big money for a DC!!!!

 

[drawnitsud]

Wowza

 

[Toast Texas]

He better win with that contract.

 

[MIZDDS]

The buyout in 2024 and 2025 gets pretty cheap, but theoretically it will never get that late in the contract. Seems like he's putting forth a good comittment as well.

 

[rbgriff2006]

Wow.
Can’t believe Mizzou did it..,
That’s SEC size investment... people should know we’re serious.

By 2024 we either won't care if he leaves or he will already have a new contract.

he'll still have 10 coaches, its like another 400 thousand

 

[ender1022]

We got jobbed on that buyout. If he is hear 5 years just a million dollar buyout? That's peanuts if the big boys come sniffing. Hell 6 mil is peanuts. This is extremely coach friendly.

The BOC did not do Sterk favors with that leak, removing all leverage for contract negotiations.

I think that’s the idea. But you should tell him in case he’s unaware

 

[zbleezy]

Good for Coach Drink. Got paidddd

If he’s here for a 5th year, he’ll be working under a different contract with different buyout amounts. The 5th and 6th years are practically irrelevant because he will never make it that far without having left or getting a new deal.

 

[DSP73]

By 2024 we either won't care if he leaves or he will already have a new contract.

hopefully he has had another 2 years added to his original deal for winning 8

 

[CamKCMIZ]

Mizzou!! LET THEM NUTS HANG

 

[Forever A Tiger]

That plus a new one!

Right. The only way the 5th and 6th years of this contract matters is if he sucks... because if he does, then that's what the 70% buyout will be based on when he gets canned. If he's successful, those years on this first contract will never be realized -- there will be completely new terms under his extension/new contract.

Should be able to pay over $1 mil for a proven DC with that pool money and not needing an OC. Let’s see who he can get.

Did anyone ask if he retains any of the current staff?

 

[Louis Winthorpe III]

Damn we really stepped up. Love it.

 

[Bluesfan94]

Yes, but coordinator jobs tend to be more expensive than position coaches. So he'll have 5.2M for one coordinator and 9 PCs.

With multiple members of current staff present, that would have been very uncouth.

 

[ndctiger1416]

he'll still have 10 coaches, its like another 400 thousand

or $520,000 average. But you're close

 

[dennyb64]

With the big contract comes the big expectations. Should win 7 right out of the gate next year and then move up to 8+ per year. Anything less than that then you got to question what are you paying that kind of money for.

 

[the mighty yehti]

AD is definitely setting him up for success. It will be interesting to see who brings from App St and who he recruits from outside the program.... can’t imagine he’ll keep anyone from Odom’s staff.

Better start imagining.

 

[Sevro au Barca]

@GabeD does that 5.2M include the budget for support staff, or is it just for the position coaches?

If the latter, its a very strong investment, on par w most of the SEC

 

[the mighty yehti]

Better start imagining.

... talk about bad timing. As soon as I post that we get an update

Trooper Taylor recruiting St. Louis, por favor.

Excuse my ignorance, but who in the hell is Trooper Taylor?

 

[boobynugget]

A guy that is good at recruiting and waving a towel on the sideline

 

[ramcrazy]

These money moves are the ones Pinkel foresaw needed to be made to have success in the SEC. Great seeing everyone step up and make a bold move!

 

[petiesarmy]

Am I reading that right, he only needs to win 8 games or a bowl to make it a 7 year deal one time or is it in both of his first two seasons he needs to win 8 games or a bowl, cause if it is just one of those in the first two years thats not crazy to think he gets two shots at lower level bowls at least

 

[boobynugget]

Barry didn’t do either in his first 2 years, so it’s not a guarantee...but shouldn’t be unattainable.

 

[petiesarmy]

or $520,000 average. But you're close

I think he is saying since you dont have to pay an OC but still needs to have ten coaches it means there are 400K that he can use for other coaches.

I think he needs to do that both years, I dont think its a one time thing.
