Involves coach A coach B an AD and PTB (powers that be)
AD realizes coach B is a hinderance to getting his team to where he thinks it belongs but is under pressure from PTB to not give up on coach B
coach A and AD are having conversations, AD tells coach A you are my man, I want you to run my program, just give me some time we will work it out.
coach A at 1st agrees to be patient knowing that when coach Bs tenure runs its course the job is his, it's his dream job, a gentleman's agreement is in place
coach A's handlers sit him down and say listen you are at the top of the list for any opening that happens in the country you can't pass up a great opportunity for something that may or may not happen down the road no matter how much you trust AD
coach A has conversations with AD and explains to him his situation and says he must look out for himself and strike while the iron is hot, AD says I understand let me talk with the PTB and coach B and see if I can work something out to get this done give me a week before you decide anything. coach A agrees
AD gets with PTB and tells them I've got the guy to lead us for the next 10-15 years I'm confident he's the man to restore us to the level we belong at, and I don't see coach B ever getting us there.
PTB tell AD, although we are not 100 percent satisfied with the results coach B has had, but we think he is making some progress and has had some bad luck injuries etc. that have held his teams back. we think if we can give him more support through NIL and let him bring in the type of players that fit his system, he can lead us back to prominence on the national level, but we also trust your judgement, so let's do this you are authorized to get with coach B , and offer him up to 16 mil over 8 years to step aside , let him leave with dignity, issue a statement like I came here with 1 goal and that was to stabilize the program so that the institution I love can once again compete at the highest level, I feel we have done that and I plan on working in a consultant role within the athletic department for the foreseeable future as we transition to a new coach .
AD tells coach A we are going to make an unbelievable offer to coach B, he will have a titled role within in the athletic department but understands it's your program. you will probably never see him, and you definitely won't be answering to him. am going to meet with him soon to feel him out and will get back to you shortly. coach A says sounds good let me know I've got life changing decisions to make, you know where I want to be, but time is now for me.
AD sets up a meeting with coach B, coach B has been tipped off before AD can get into his offer cuts him off and says I'm not a ****in quitter and don't appreciate you going behind my back trying to replace me. AD says you sure this can be a win win, B gets animated says you heard what I said, maybe you could give me more support if you want better results
AD calls coach A tells him the timing just isn't right I wish you well.
Coach A took another opportunity
