    Scott ?? Did he get back in one piece from Miami? I need a report from the game to see if it matches my livid Aggie son-in-laws comments.

    Look down the board to a topic entitled "I'm Back".

    I'm OK Larry.
    I was well prepared for exactly the outcome we got, so it didn't diminish my fun in Florida one bit.
    I spent more time trying to keep my Dad from throwing himself off the stadium than worrying about how bad we are...
    :p

    I take solace in the knowledge that Dennis' time is running out... I just hope we can find a competent guy to take the reigns now that we've spent so much money on facilities.

    Scott...

    <t>All kidding aside and I know the year needs to play out but if they finish average do you think they will pull the plug on him considering what they owe the guy? My son-in-law says yes they will.</t>

    It really does depend on how the rest of the year goes.
    Dennis has support from some VERY deep pockets. I have no idea why, but he does.

    If he manages another miracle win against texas, or OU, he will be safe for another year. I don't see it happening, but I didn't see it last year.
    On the flip side, if he gets blasted by Tech/OSU, or God forbid Baylor he could be gone in a HURRY.

    I suspect we'll end up around 7-5, which will probably be just enough to fight off the massive buyout that is required.
    If I had the cash... he'd be a lame duck right now.

    They will owe him ~$142k/month for the period of the contract, which now extends to 12/2011. So, yes, if they can him after the season (say December), then they will owe him 4 years salary at $142k/month, which equals $6,800,016.</t>

    I suspect the number could be a bit smaller than that. We could negotiate a lump payment that would somewhat shrink the bill, but it will still hurt...

    _ennis MUST GO!
