Don’t shoot the messenger. 2030 with Red???

[RedtheGOB]

Completely false. It says in the article “contract terms are not available” so this whole thing is nonsense. He signed a 5 year deal. He had small escalators in pay from the $1.8m he started with. Those are facts

If anyone bothered to click the link he uses as source (tax filings) it bounces back to Chris Carlson's syracuse.com article about Dino Babers from May 2025 .

If accurate, compare Red's contract to Hubert. Hubert at least led them to an ACC regular season championship and a Final Four, Red's contract would be about 3x Hubert's in that span. If accurate, Hubert base salary started at $400,000 and Red started at $1.7 million.

Hubert Davis buyout, contract details as UNC Tar Heels coach | Sporting News

The Tar Heels coach needs a deep tournament run this season.

I think that jump is his assistant salary to head coach.

Tony Skinn makes over a million a year. He didn't outmake Hubert.

Etan leaked the 7 year contract??

 

[Dinkyspond]

If that article is correct Wildhack should be removed from his office today.

no way he gave a first-time unproven coach a 7-year contract, impossible

I believe the "source" of that is a spoof on account twitter that someone took seriously.

Yeah agree. This is the kinda stuff that suddenly gets legs and then people when remembering JW are like "He was the worst ever!! Blah...blah 7 years and $14 mm buyout ".
People just because you read it on the internet, doesn't mean that it's true. The moment anyone saw that, the BS alarm should have triggered in your heads.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Bill Simmons probably leaked the incorrect information

yea, it's embarrassing that someone wrote this. It's simply made up.

Especially someone who should know better based on his bio…

Doug Gottleib?

 

[gilardino]

I’m not sure of exact figures, but the buyout money is already secured.

He gone…

I hope your right

 

[Elkeed44]

Not giving this any credence. No way it’s true.

I was happy to read we have the buyout $$$ ready to go though!

No worries here. I'm down for a yard.

 

[elimunelson]

Someone leaked this he says the contract goes to 2030 as a matter of fact.

 

[dwilmont44]

I choose to believe it so I can justify my anger

 

[Scooch]

This article looks and smells like AI slop.

The messenger should be tarred and feathered.

"Jeff Hauser" is the new byline of "Open AI".

I wish there was a shaking head emoji here.

 

[RF2044]

Can somebody contact our new Athletic Director, Adam Weistman, to ask what the hell he was thinking when he negotiated that contract?

this is kinda funny. Red was not given a contract until 2030. That would be absolute malpractice by Wildhack as Wildhack had alllll the leverage when putting the contract together. The buyout is also not 13 million. I think someone else previously said the buyout money is also secured already. I can also confirm that. I just can’t confirm when the actual firing is gonna happen. Looking like Wildhack is gonna wait for the day after the season ends

Seeing threads like this always makes me contemplate (a) should I be a good human and set people straight about obvious misinformation, or (b) take advantage of suckers and profit from their ignorance.

a > b.

 

[rocklloyd]

He won’t be here in 2030. Maybe Siena, but not here.

a > b.

Not in 2026 America, but I'm more of an (a) guy.
