[QUOTE="AutoPoster 3000, post: 1173148, member: 17214"] Well, in her statements to the N-G immediately after the Cubit deal was announced, Wilson specifically said that the parties had not worked out the details with respect to the second year, i.e., whether it was guaranteed money or a buyout or whatever. I thought that was an odd thing to say at that time because that seemed like the one issue that they all needed to be clear on, since it was presumed on both sides Cubit was more likely than not to only be the coach for one year. So Wilson was either lying about that matter to the N-G, there was some kind of miscommunication where Cubit got the wrong impression that his money was guaranteed, or Cubit is taking advantage of the administration's failure to set down clear terms in their discussions to leverage his way into guaranteed money now. But does it matter? In all the three scenarios, the implication is the same: incompetence, lackadaisicalness, disorganization. Laypersons put more thought and care into hiring a carpenter to replace their kitchen cabinets than we put into locking down our football coach for next season. [/QUOTE]
