[QUOTE="Berg88, post: 1438328, member: 7871"] It's easy to bash the contract now, but at the time, having just poached him from another power 5 school, with loud rumors that his alma mater's head coaching position could very well open up the following year, the big buyout seemed reasonable to many of us here. Reasonable is probably too soft, it was critical to many of us here. Obviously, none of us, or BU or Whitman I'm sure, expected us to be here not even 2 years later. Truth be told, I can't imagine Whitman has put consideration into a coaching change this year. Too much money. Plus, who would want to take this (or any) job knowing that you may well only get 2 years to turn it around? [/QUOTE]
