Chew on this for awhile, G G contract with Texas.

[choochoo]

I guess my point is, Poor Gail G. She makes about 2,000,000 a year and has underperformed miserably and If I read correctly will leave with a 1,000,000 parting gift. Oh Me Oh My! Sobbing all the way to the Bank of Texass

 

[DaddyChoc]

yup... she was treated well

Where do you read that? I see it only if she gets fired. She quit.

I'm no fan of GG, never have been. But the contract and it's absurdity, falls squarely on the Texas AD. I tip my hat to GG's agent for getting her the best deal the market would yield.

She failed miserably at Texas and it was a very public failure. I'm sure it's a very personal failure, because sports are an emotionally charged environment where folks put their pride/reputation on the line every game, every season. What's the right price to put on someone's reputation?

I have nothing but admiration for folks who are out there doing stuff, making stuff happen, taking chances. Dogs never bark or chase parked cars, just the one's that are moving.

Think he's saying there's a lot of duties and responsibilities in there, and performance incentives, etc., just reads like "a lot". But I'm pretty sure most of them are similar at that level...

 

[semper]

No different from what a lot of big execs have been getting in many walks of life. Big sports is a business, in some ways.

 

[DaddyChoc]

just a lot of words but typical stuff... new coach name will be typed in over the white-out and the pay amounts decreased a lil bit.

and the date changed

 

[alexrgct]

Or increased a lot bit.

Yeah, definitely says that the $1 million will not be paid if GG resigns. As the early reports flat out stated, she left a lot of money behind to get back a little peace of mind and take a breather. Of course, another year like this year would probably have damaged her future prospects even more. As reported, this is the first senior class for Horns to go 0-4 in NCAA tourney play.

Hmmmm....I wonder if she has Knoxville in her future?

Nah. Not after her career in Texas.
