Message: [QUOTE="CuseOnly, post: 1536989, member: 2804"] How he was hired is irrelevant. He was offered the going rate for a P5 HC with no experience as a HC. Shafer is in the bottom 10% of P5 coaching salaries at 1.4 mil a year. SU still cannot afford to buyout 2 years of his contract at 2.8 mil if they wanted to fire him tomorrow. They simply don't have the money to throw away. They waited until Gerg had one year left on his deal for that very same reason which is why he got a 4th year. What will happen if we hire another unproven coach for $3 mil a year and he happens to shlit the bed and we fire him after 3 years of a 5 year deal...yep $6 mil buyout which again we can't afford. See how the pattern goes, this is why we are most likely going to keep Shafer another year, which I think he deserves BTW. [/QUOTE]
