🏈 Harbaugh Gets Extended to 2025

[PurlJam]

Starting some new employment negotiations myself, I need his agent, or Jim may have some pictures of some PTB's out in the barnyard.

Looks like he took a pay cut. Seems odd you either believe in the guy or you move on. Not sure why you take this step. Maybe it saves you some money next year? Honestly I see no other reason why you keep this guy except to so a few dollars.

Maybe ...just maybe....what was better out there?.....GUS?
Like other changes..... Texas...AU....USCe even
For the money spent.....did you really make a change that OBVIOUSLY improves your lot...or make a change that was just a change....because a change was needed

Jimmy has one more year to turn this thing around otherwise the moving van will parked in the front of his house. I am surprised he hasn't done a much better job of recruiting. It's the Jimmy and Joe's and not so much the playbook.

OSU is kicking his Khaki pants azz in recruiting and it is not even close.

His pay was cut in half, right. Down to $4mm guaranteed from $8mm this year. He can bonus up and get to $7.5 or so but that requires him to win the conference and the CFP championship in order to get the max. I’m not worried about them doing that... the win for the university (and loss for the rest of the conference) is they buyout went down to $4mm for 2021. And $1mm any year after that. I bet they enact this during the season next year after a bad start. Allows the school to be more flexible with him and saves them millions of dollars whether he stays or goes.

How many of you love your job so much you’d take a 50% pay cut next year and give away a golden parachute? Not me!

From ESPN “ Harbaugh's new contract will pay him a base salary of $4 million in 2021, which will increase to $4.426 million in 2025. He can earn a maximum bonus of $3.475 million in each year of the contract, including $1 million bonuses for winning the Big Ten championship and the College Football Playoff National Championship, and $500,000 bonuses for winning the Big Ten East Division and reaching the CFP..”

Its a good way to do a contract...

for the school ...

He just saved his job....by such agreements.....

michigan...texas... and Tennessee are all bout same....
Some old history....but faded glory.....
And ( fans) still consider their programs as blue bloods....
I guess you could add USCw...UCLA in to that

Seems he must believe he can do the job better to agree to this.

A blue blood is always a blue blood even if holding a beggars cup. The real issue is whether or not they were blue bloods to begin with.

There’s a lot better out there, they have coaching jobs. When a premier program (Michigan, Alabama, USC, Texas, etc) has a job to fill, they can raid the ranks of the employed.

College football is on the downhill slide. The South and perhaps the Southwest will be the last to fold.

I guess the folks at Mich are satisfied with mediocre.

They can always get their governor to advise them

i guess. Sure each of us would they would see as blue bloods based on the time following the sport and biases

True. But still. Grabbing a successful coach doesn't guarantee success.
The Michigan coach was a success in nfl.

I tend to TRY to be unbiased and take a historical approach but I would need to start scratching my head long before I could make a T10 list if there are even 10 true blue bloods in CFB. I would throw out Alabama, ND, USC.
A lot of folks toss out Texas but I would really need to read about them. By pedigree and virtue of being second to only Bama (I think) would TN warrant being a blue blood.......shit I hated saying that.

Michigan’s claim is longevity and number of games won, not so much number of championships since real competition was invented.

 

[Elderfalsedemigod]

Him agreeing to this tells me he doesn’t want to go back to NFL more than anything else

he’s basically betting on himself to beat OSU next year and make the CFP. Kind of an all-in poker move if you will

He wanted to go, problem was, nobody wanted him. He tried though.

The Viles are not blue bloods. My blue bloods list based on historical success many times over decades:
Bama, Michigan, tOSU, Texas, USC, ND.

The UF/FSU/Miami's of the world started having success mainly in the 80's and after.
