Til like 2021 with 2.7 a year

2019-20 at 2.65 million per year...

But in reality, the contract runs through 2017-18 with automatic extensions that take it through 2019-20 season.

Some say if we fire him we would only have to pay 'the balance of the contract' through 2017-18 before the extension kicks in.

Not sure, though.

Drew said no, just that simple.

No it's not that simple - but feel free to think that. An article published before Drew "withdrew" his name. HERE >>>

...So the conversation turned to the Memphis coaching search, and the Division 1 head coach asked who the Tigers search team might be going after next.

"It could be Scott Drew."

The Division 1 head coach paused at this.

"Do they KNOW Scott Drew?" he asked.

Evidently, not. Or they know something about the Baylor coach that nobody else seems to know.

A national television commentator (by phone): "WHAT?"

An assistant coach in the SEC (by text): "Wow."

Scott Drew would be a "wow" hire in the world of college basketball, all right.

Just not in a good way...

...[b]If the Memphis Tigers hire him -- and they talked with him Friday, after formally asking for permission -- it could turn out to be the best thing for this city since pulled pork.

But that's not what people who know Drew seem to think. I made a lot of calls on this. And Drew was invariably described as:

1) A phony.

2) A man who has never met a recruiting rule he couldn't bend.

3) A lousy bench coach.

4) And, really, what more do you need?

It's not just me, saying worrisome things about Drew, either. It's everyone. Jeff Goodman, the national college basketball writer for Fox Sports, said on my radio show that hiring Drew would be a mistake. Texas coach Rick Barnes has publicly criticized Drew's recruiting tactics.

George Lapides -- a newspaperman without a newspaper -- took the extraordinary step on his radio show of warning Memphis not to hire Drew.

Lapides said he thought about saying the same thing when Memphis was on the verge of hiring Tic Price. When the Price era played out as it did, Lapides vowed never to keep quiet again.

Undaunted, the members of the Memphis search team have pressed on. One theory is that they're just doing some exploratory work on potential backup candidates as they quietly cross off the bigger names on their list. Please, please be true....

Don't confuse people with facts.

Kiss my ass, bill...

Whoa, you might want to read that again. He was fully supporting you.

It's okay Andy, I'm used to it. Wasn't even directing that at anybody in particular, either.

4 years. Way too much time. But people have made bad investments before...Enron, anyone?

I wished that ECU could get a couple of the Memphis big men. Hell, even a scrub or two off the bench is better than the big players that ECU has.

UofM is very hostile in this thread

our fans are passionate.

Who was the one passionate Memphis fan who cussed and talk down to ECU fans? He also cussed people out when people didn't agree with him.

You're ******* right I'm hostile, I won't put up with Memphis hoops going down in flames while nero fiddles, err, Pastner claps.

In fact, I'm waaay past hostile.

When does baseball start?

It is going to be very expensive for Memphis to fire Josh Pastner and very expensive to keep him. A very rough situation.

Dan Wolken @DanWolken
But I’ll say this to Memphis fans: If/when there is a change, the replacement possibilities will not be what you hope they will be.

Its hard not to like Wolken.
