Not sure these are 100% accurate, as a
couple other links have
slightly different numbers. But they seem fairly close. Bang for the buck is not there for Rice. Still boggles my mind that JK extended Bailiff when he did and apparently for as much as he did and apparently with a cost-prohibitive buyout. Even after 2013 (without getting into a discussion about how great or not great that season was), there were enough negatives on Bailiff's resume that JK should have waited to see how the team responded in 2014 after losing a lot of senior leadership.
