Only if Tech is getting something guaranteed in return like more buyout money AND a home and home with the hiring school (which can also be bought out). If we are just increasing his contract to keep him happy or to fend off big time job offers we are wasting our limited resources.Originally Posted by LATechBanjo
With the coaching carousel happening right now, I am glad to see BVDV doing the smart thing. Sonny D is a great coach and this raise is well deserved. Now lets get him locked up and lets take this talented team to a BCS game.
It's a 5 year contract with an $800k buyout. I think this is a ridiculous waste of money. First, anything offered will never be enough if the right AQ comes calling; and if the right one doesn't call nothing more is needed. 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.

Locked up? Are you serious?
It always amazes me when a coach wins (as JB3 did) and our fans get all excited and think a raise for a coach who did his job is in order.
Good grief! I want to know what Tech gets out of this renegotiation.
That's what Ole Miss did. They gave Houston Nutt a new contract after 2 years and 2 years later they fire him and he walks away with 6 million.
This year is a little different. With all the movement it's not the "right AQ" that you're worried about...it's the non-AQ with a little better record that may try and swipe your coach because theirs got swiped.

...and the chump change we are able to throw at him won't prevent a non-AQ from taking him either.
This should be about what Tech gets not what Dykes gets.
If that's what we're throwing at him, you're probably right. Personally, I think programs like USM would have to think long and hard before they rolled out 1.2-1.5 mil to get a new coach.
Bruce is doing and has things I'm not in favor of. Extending SD's contract could be the right thing if it's done right.

I'll say again. It MUST be structured to benefit Tech.
I'm with you...I really like the home and home stipulation.

I'm not sure BVDV or Sonny like big time home and home deals. They nixed the one with BYU.:icon_wink:
If Dykes has any AQ aspirations he would be foolish to agree to anything that strengthens Tech's position. Therefore, any "reward" to Dykes will not strengthen Tech's position.
No reward. He did he job.
I completely agree.
Why is that? You said yourself that the big AQs can pay whatever they wish. An extra 500K for Tech doesn't hurt sonny's ability to move to a big school at all.
