Being unable to raise the funds for the SEZ and being unable to take the band and spirit groups to Tech's biggest bowl ever, yet being able to find hundreds of thousands of dollars for a raise that provides ZERO assurance of the sought-after continuity is BVDV's most STUPID move to date - easily out-distancing the lion's share lunacy.
Good post

I suppose we do, but ONLY if they do their job.

The more he wins the more we should offer him, as long as we continue to increase his salary as it is deserved, he will stay. I hope in his new deal we offer him a big percentage of any BCS payday if we make it.
Seriously?

Is it so difficult for you 1%-er capitalist pigs to envision someone's job satisfaction arising from something other than just salary?

Have you read Frederick Herzberg? I'd bet that chipdog has.
Re: From the negotiating room
I rather that we don't give him a raise and let someone hire him away. So we can save our money and hire Monken.

No, having a deal done within 48 hours of the bowl announcement would have been the time to have it done. It would have beaten a lot of the coaching carousel talk and contacts that are still in process.

And if he starts Burch next year?
Re: From the negotiating room
It is not all about base salary. It is amount incentives and more importantly years. A one or two year extension makes a lot of sense, not sure three or more years does.

According to Brandon Dunn (@BrandonDunnNBC6), Sports Director at KTAL (Channel 6, Shreveport):
"Louisiana Tech working on contract extension for Sonny Dykes according to sources in Ruston Could be because Ole Miss showing interest."

Texas A&M > Ole Miss. New ball game.
Re: From the negotiating room
I'm confused after reading all of the comments about "buyouts", "extensions", etc. Why would anybody be o.k. with Sonny leaving after two more years? How could this be a good thing for our University? Why would we not do everything in our power to keep him in Ruston?
