BC AD is an idiot

If the coach were to get the Jets job BC would be off the hook for his contract money. If the President of BC were to get offered the Harvard position, think he stays? Couldnt you say that the players who play for the college "owe" it to the college to play for them for four years too?

shake ups like this can lead to players bailing-and don't forget, many colleges restrict transfers-you can't transfer to a conference rival, and many times kids have to sit out a year if they go to a fellow 1-a school. players get penalized if they move-but coaches can just move at will? not so much now, look at petrinos contract for example-a huge buyout if he should want to leave, and can't move to a sec west team. who can blame arkansas for those terms, with his track record?
how would this particular coach feel if the AD had come to him and said..you're doing good, but we can do better, so we're going to interview others and see if we can improve....kind of like what the coach is saying-i think i can improve, too bad i signed for five years. i didn't really mean it, altho no doubt he'd want the college to live up to their end regarding his money should they let him go.

I understand what you are saying but the head coach in a college program is very important and the coaches realize that. Players are screwed under the NCAA system, thats a given but the coaches are employees so they have a right to look for better employement. The issues isnt with feelings, it is about getting the best job for the coach. If pete Carroll said to BC he wanyed the job do you think they would hesitate to fire the current coach? It goes both ways and unless there is some underlying deal like the AD thinks the coach is using the interview to extort more money out of them he is being pigheaded.

Aren't the coaches contracts such that they are guaranteed they'll get paid even if they are fired? I don't see how that can be such a bad situation. If the pay is guaranteed for the term of the contract then they shouldn't have the option to go elsewhere. If the coach has the option to get out with no strings attached then so should the team.

If there is a clause then they have every right to fire him. Assuming there isn't then I don't see a chance in hell they can fire him and not pay him.

Good for Jagz. He'll have no problem finding another home.
