Coyle leaving for Minnesota AD job

The guy wanted to be closer to family and Minnesota is a special place to him. How about we wish him the best and thank him instead of all the hate spewed on here. We will move on and find someone who's more than capable. Good luck Mark!

No mention of Coyle's family issues from the President of the Univ or Coyle. Very rosy intro.

The Gophers have announced the hire, with a five-year contract paying Coyle $850,000 annually.
Search firms really cashing in on Coyle. Probably a 300k raise?

I assure you SU wasn't paying that much. Big raise, and chance to "go home". Yeah keep bashing the guy smh

It means he hired a good in demand candidate who was/is getting opportunities elsewhere. Again, why take it so personal? Congratulate the guy and move on.

I have been at my firm for a bit over a year. Since I have been here I have formally declined two offers of employment elsewhere. These were totally unsolicited offers made by people I have worked with in the past. I'm sure my boss would have been upset if I took one of those, matter of fact, I told him about the latest one and they made me a better offer to stay. He wasn't upset, he "gets it". It's not personal.

I'd rather hire really sharp guys that other people want as opposed to a bunch of bums no one wants.

This is the natural result of hiring people who are capable and in demand. You're right.

On the one hand, I get the ire over another "lack of loyalty" display. On the other hand, college athletics is a business and this is a reality of business these days. I mean, Marrone still gets skewered by some of this fanbase because he left for a NFL head coaching gig AFTER his 4 year contract was up. I guess we can be thankful that Coyle didn't say this was his "Dream Job" so we don't have to listen that that for eternity.

Poor question by one of the reporters about having to fire the football coach (Shafer) to clean things up... Poor characterization, IMHO.

Coyle totally dodged the timing question.

Dream job. Good luck Mark!!!
 
So much for the platitudes about "stability" and "building trust". lol. He got the the Babers deal done but little else. For the "solution" to take the first flight out for money, I mean, you really have to question his motives and his professionalism.

Bring back Pete.

In this day and age, there is no way to handle it well. There's an old cliche, "its not personal, it's business". A lot of folks on this board take everything so personal. He took a job, and stayed for almost a year. Decided he could do better. For whatever reason, pay, hated the area, hated the people he was working with etc. I dont get why this board gets so emotional about people leaving for what they perceive to be greener pastures.

I guarantee you EVERYONE in this board would leave their current job for a competitor if they got a 20% plus raise. Every single one.

I may very well be in the minority, but, I'm the exception to your guarantee.

BS. This departure was an unprofessional embarrassment. Ten months after promising "stability" and "trust", he's chasing a paycheck out of town. The only place where people "do business" like that is here (Godfather):

He was looking to leave and has been. If Minny hadn't been available it would have been somewhere else.
 
So given the shortness of his tenure and the time and expense of SU hiring him - you would think the Very Least he could do is go out the right way. Not too much to ask really.

Right in the middle of ACC meetings. Fuker.
