[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1230864, member: 527609"] Tampa owes Lovie $5 million each of the next two years. That money is offset by whatever we pay him. He's essentially coaching the team for free for the next two years, because he wouldn't get a dime less if he just sat on his couch. What's interesting though, is that money has moved from years 3-6 to years 1-2, which represents a pay cut from Lovie's perspective. That surprises me a bit. It could be that Tampa complained about the structure of the deal, which they would be within their rights to do. We'll see. Obviously the financial commitment to sustain this thing is going to be critical. Our immediate boost at the box office certainly helps that. [/QUOTE]
