Anyone hear anything on this?

Let’s just say this plays out and Richt walks.

Who wants to come here? And who would we pick?

The two that would want to come:
Babers
The Pirate

Anyone else?

The buyout is not more than the total payments due.

Correct. But if Richt had a good lawyer, he could well have had a slide scale where termination in a year or two after extension would be more painful than later, not just in terms of remaining payments but also how they are or are not discounted. James would likely have thought there was a close to zero percent chance he’d be terminating richt a year after extending him euphorically. So it could be an awful dynamic. No idea here, just can smell richt’s leverage in his blase attitude towards changes and accountability.

By my rough calculations, we would be losing 6-8 Million dollars a year in ticket sales alone if Mark sticks around without making any meaningful changes. I suspect that attendance would be half of what it typically would be. I'm basing this on a projected average attendance number of 30K next year. And this may be unrealistically high. Am I off here??? Why would the University not pay the buyout to get this MFer out of here?? The low attendance, the PR nightmare, the multiple years we would be set back, and the overall toxicity of the program would be far more costly than a 10 million dollar buyout. Help me out nerds

I do think you are off. It’s ticket sales that they report as attendance. Those big season ticket numbers get reduced slower than actual butts in seats. But, they don’t count butts in seats. If you bought a ticket to the game, it’s all good to UM.

life is more complicated than whatever you read in law school. Boards rarely overrule a general counsel with legitimate, serious concerns. The board of a nonprofit would be less likely to do so, moreover. Not saying that happened here, just pointing out, the general counsel has more influence on the type of contract extension being discussed here than the discussion in this thread seems to acknowledge. Whether that influence was exercised in this case, i have no idea.

I’ve been involved in big decisions like this one and the GC’s job is to clearly lay out the risks. Unless the GC is on the Board, he or she gets no vote. Clearly, any reasonable Board will heed the advice / concerns of counsel. But at the end of the day if the Board is willing to pay a buyout of $25 million, they will approve it.

By the way, I have seen this play out profesionally. I find your reference to law school laughable.

Sue under the Statue of Frauds!

Then let him out under the Parole Evidence Rule!
 
Mark Rcht is not going anywhere. Also, he is not going to hire an offensive coordinator. What he will do is give up play-calling. One of our current co-offensive coordinators will call the plays. Yeah yeah yeah, as he will say, everyone will have a say. It makes the most sense. We have Co-defensive coordinators that call plays, so we should have co-offensive Coordinators that call plays.

So, Goldberb still alibe down there?

He's after my time in south Florida. Sonny Hirsch was doing play-by-play down there when I left (and he still might be) and Luther Evans was Herald beat reporter (may still be under the nom de plume Susan Miller Degmam).

I posted this on another thread but since this is the official thread here it is. Also, I'm not claiming this guy knows anything but nobody really does it seems.

I wouldn't be surprised if you are correct. Get the banners ready to fly if this is the case.

Yup. He's alive but I'm not sure well.....not that he was every extremely well. They were wheeling him out for horse race broadcasts on occasion but I don't know if he's even still doing that.
 
I've been refreshing religiously since yesterday, waiting on some news. Any news. I'm starting to lose hope.
