I think the guys at DD do a great job, but I haven’t seen any evidence that the football foundation folks use them to push the foundation’s agenda (I could be wrong)

Honestly it was just a topic on our minds and we wanted to generate discussion.

Well that is COA #1 in the BOT playbook, so I hope HCBC expects it.

He may be happy to see additional money go into his resurgent football program (his "baby" so to speak) rather than only into his own pocket. We have seen progress in the team record, the reputation of committed recruits and the local perception of the whole program -- with perhaps a spillover for benefit to other UAB sports. As is said, a rising tide lifts all boats.

Nobody with this information would ever post it in a public forum.

I just think that it is in the best interest of UAB to get a deal done, sooner the better. I don't want to see Clark leave, and if he does not have an updated contract by early signing period it will be used against us in recruiting.

I think we need to offer a five year deal in the $1.2M a year range with a buyout equal to half the remaining contract. We don't cripple him if he decides to take another position, and we still recover a little bit of money if that happens.

I don't know Clark personally, but I find it very hard to believe that he would leave after a year of putting this program back together.

RE: UAB Needs to Pay Bill Clark Now Before They Get Burned
Of course a concern from the AD's point of view could be the aftermatch of the Bill Clark era. That is, if/when coach Clark leaves his replacement is going to expect the same level of compensation. Is UAB ready to have Coach Clark's new deal be the standard for its head footbal coach going forward? The answer could affect the quality of the replacement.

The earliest Egyptian rulers built smaller "step pyramids" and each ruler after that built larger and more elaborate pyramids as the empire grew in power. The problem of growing coaching contracts proves there is little new under the sun. The "trick" is to hire a new coach who will leave the program sufficiently improved to attract that next more expensive coach.

We build parking decks and a Football Ops Building, not pyramids, but human nature has not changed much over that time.

The answer needs to be yes. It was Watts who started throwing around the term world class. Don't let them forget that.

It's time for our expectations of a coach's job performance to be higher. That's much easier to do when you're paying them well. Currently, we don't pay enough to be ticked when we don't finish in the top half of our conference.

RE: UAB Needs to Pay Bill Clark Now Before They Get Burned
The last thing on Coach Clark's mind is money. Obviously, his mindset is focused on each and every individual player, the team as a whole, his entire staff, and winning each game, one play at a time. He doesn't even give money one bit of a thought at this point and time. Chill out, gents. He'll get raises, that's for sure. Put this thread on the back burner and put the burn on the very next play. Kickoff is at 2:05 PM!

TBD...

"The deal is subject to final approval from the University of Alabama Board of Trustees. The board's compensation committee is expected to occur within the next two weeks."

It would not be announced unless it was informally approved. There will be no issues.
