Diaz Temple Contract

[IamaCane4Life]

We couldn’t match that? Lol

Fire cuck James

He wanted to be a coach!

 

[ssvir]

$1.25M and 5 year deal would’ve been enough if made timely imho

??? The man clearly has wanted to be a head coach. He was going regardless.

 

[Home Slice]

Contract will run through 2023 (5 years) worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $8M.

Glimmer of hope for those who wanted Diaz as HCIW: same expiration year as Richt and I cannot imagine the buyout being too large regardless.

Also for those who asked in other threads: Diaz will indeed coach the bowl game.

Love the thought process man, but unless some crazy good stuff happens here in 2019, we cannot wait beyond next season.

 

[pumbaa]

He had the best defense of his career and only temple showed interest. He probably felt he had to jump on that offer.

He turned down App St. supposedly.

 

[Tad Footeball]

****, not even 2 million a year.

Plus state income tax and it's not a really cheap cost of living like if one was taking a job in Texas or a Bumblefuk college town.

Doubt it.

Agreed, he likely won’t be at Temple until 2023 either. Not sure how buyouts necessarily work but hopefully we can time it right. If it pans out at Temple, I’d welcome him back.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

It was more about getting tired of Richt than it was the money. Can’t imagine with paying state tax now he makes much more than he did here

 

[TrueFloridian]

Doubt it.

Regardless Temple is a better job than App St.

 

[pumbaa]

Doubt it.

Saw it reported

 

[ForeveCane55]

He is overated as **** the defense was all smoke and mirrors a pee wee team could of been a top 10 defense with the schedule we had

 

[Empirical Cane]

2 large boxes of pastelitos and 5 croquetas de jamon per day.

y cafe con leche.

Ahora!

 

[TrueFloridian]

I’m really shocked it wasn’t for more than that. We could’ve fired Richt and barely felt his buyout getting Manny at that price as HC.

 

[AllAboutTheU]

Dude wants to be a HC. Clearly not a salary thing. Temple is a warmup for a bigger job if you do it well. Pretty cut and dry.

 

[Tit-e-skr]

I think it's a case of Diaz wanting to leave more than it is him wanting to become the head coach at Temple. If it's true that he turned down App St for Temple then he is nuts.

I wonder what the relationship is really like between him and Richt.

 

[mainecane]

Best guess is likely combination of wanting to be HC & out from under our offense putting demoralizing pressure on his defensive players. Temple is a great launching situation to major HC opportunities. Face it - Collins goes as journeyman DC to HC at Temple 2 years and now HC at GTech. Leaves a solid program that Diaz can tweak, win and move up. Great situation for him with acceptable job pressure to transition to formidable HC. HATE seeing him go but GOOD LUCK and THANKS!

 

[deleted19096]

I knew Temple wasn't breaking the bank. I'm surprised he jumped so fast.

Judging by his last few interviews, he is probably fed up with Richt's offense.

 

[Deleted member 13422]

i think it was 700k

And you know that for a fact, Just stfu already.

 

[caneaddict]

its probably more like 2.5/year with incentives
