Message: [QUOTE="rhcuse, post: 2135806, member: 1104"] I think "the contract" has been misconstrued by some. IMO, it did not guarantee Hop the job, but rather allowed him compensation if SU should choose NOT to appoint him head coach. Yes, it was probably both parties intent at the time of the signing for the transistion to occur, but SU was not mandated to make him coach. While the contract both protected and incentivised both parties along a planned series of events, each retained a choice in the final outcome. Being gauranteed the job vs. a buyout if not given the job are two completely different things. JW and JB are correct when they say there was a contract in place to allow for transistion, however, it could be executed to multiple outcomes. I think some people think it could only have ended with MH as head coach. [/QUOTE]
