Tulsa coach gets 10 year extension, we should do same!

[arkansasbob]

i have little doubt dooley would agree to a larger buyout with a contract extension and a raise. as others have pointed out already, any team he's going to get hired away to can afford it, and it also increases what we have to pay him to fire him (in the college football coaching profession, any job security is a prized commodity). however, any contract he signs will have a declining buy-out. otherwise, what incentive does Tech have to extend his contract before the final year? also, 10 years is way too much for one winning season. i think a 3-year extension is about right, and the time is now.

I think this is something Tech should look at doing with Dooley. If he isn't going to agree to an extension, offer him a "stay" bonus after 5 and 10 years like OU did with Stoops.

here's why dooley doesn't want a buyout ...

unless they change the way they do business in the future, lsu doesn't pay buyouts. the coach does. paul mainieri spent the 400k out of his own pocket to buy out his contract from notre dame. now there are ways to build that back into the new contract, but it's still a lot of money out of your pocket up front. we all know dooley would love the lsu job, and he doesn't want to buy out his own contract to go there.

Very interesting. I had never heard of a coach paying his own buyout, but I don't follow this stuff nearly as closely as a lot of people do, so I certainly don't pretend to be an expert on the matter.

Maybe Dooley will put in a 3-4 Mil buyout as a lovely parting gift to Tech... :icon_wink:

Whatever we pay Dooley, he will still leave next year or the year after. We can't spend money with the big boys so let's no try.

The best thing we can do is pour money into facilities. This will please Dooley and help us long after he leaves.

Dooley will be our coach for at least 2 more years if construction is started on the fieldhouse expansion. In 2 years we are undefeated and BCS busters. We beat a sec team in a BCS bowl and the MWC invites Tech, Houston and Boise to join and it becomes an AQ.

I would dance around campus with my meat hanging out if this happens.
