Money shouldn't matter

[Timonen]

i understand that everybody wants to hire an SU lifer who would stay here for a decade and push away all competing options. Logic says that ain't happening. As such, our best plan is to do what it takes to hire the best chance at a "sure thing" young gun, and overpaying to do it. If we're correct that the guy succeeds, we get a big buyout from a powerhouse school that funds the next hire, which we can do from a stronger position.

It's a simple business case and the relative cost of our top choice vs somebody in our ideal budget isn't that vast.

Hopefully the powers are thinking this way.

I agree 300%.

No one in a decision making position is thinking lifer. Coyle isn't a lifer. They want to get the best coach. If he does a great job and moves to the NFL as Mac and Marrone did, so be it.

So long as they don't tell me it is their dream job.

Beware of candidates carrying three-ring binders!

Wait a second - never even considered the buyout $. Did we get anything for Marrone?

Money is an issue if they don't have it

I think you are probably wrong about Coyle. If he does things right, Syracuse can be a lifer job as an AD.

Subject line. Not ever heard anymore

He'll stay, if he can, until Kentucky opens up.

He'll stay, if he can, until Kentucky opens up.

He's 9 years younger than the current AD at Kentucky, who should be there for the next 15-20 years barring a catastrophe. He's going to be here for awhile.
