At the rate we're going, it'll be that in a couple of years.

That's not the only game that matters.

Thank you.

If the EB is just another game, get them off the schedule when the sec expands. Request to be in a pod outside them.

If we were to incentivize a win over any opponent on the schedule, it would be Bama first.

The norm in coaching contracts is incentives for all P5 wins. So, you give him incentives for all sec wins or don't include incentive for sec wins at all.

My point is Leach treats all the games the same. Rival or not. So get OM off the schedule and Bama for that matter. A sec schedule of Texas Missouri usc Kentucky and vandy would be good to me.

He didn't say it was the only game that matters just having something about winning the egg bowl in the contract.

It would be a smart move. In next 4 years, asking him to get 2 wins is not unreasonable. That would be 2-4 in egg bowl to keep job. That ain't asking for much. It would be just a little something to give the school some leverage to get out if all the other games go south too.

It would be smart so I'm sure we wouldn't do it because much of our fanbase don't get it either.

Unless you have an incentive for beating all SEC West teams I hate it. It makes us seem so little brother. We'll give you extra money as long as we beat OM. That's all we care about.

This is it - for us to grow our program we have to be bigger than just that one game. Incentives for beating all SEC Teams or making a NY6 or SEC Championship Game.

I wasn't talking about money for a win. I was talking about being able to have some contract flexibility by the school is he didn't beat OM at least twice in next 4 years. Not paying him extra for something he is already supposed to do. But if he don't show something there, we ain't paying him the bank to get rid of him either say if he goes 0-4 and averages 6 wins a year. We would want that coach gone after 6 years. It just gives us an out. If a HC is scared of not being able to go 2-4 against his rival then he ain't the right guy anyway.

You guys think Leach doesn't want to win the egg bowl and that writing a clause in the contract will make a difference ? OM has the better team this year.
What else can Leach do ? He tries to get every ounce of effort out of the players. Sometimes you just get beat.

But one thing is for sure. He doesn't cheat. Whether that means he will be at a disadvantage to the other school I don't know.

The SEC recruits differently. He's not on pace for his best recruiting class ever this year by accident.

A bunch of head coaches don't cheat. But their programs damn sure do. Don't be so naive man. You didnt come over on the mayflower..

It's not asking for much but it's also just a bad message. First, you have to look at results as a whole. It's weird to say 2-46 over a four year period with two wins over Ole Miss does not give cause for termination, but 45-3 with 3 losses to Ole Miss would be cause for terminating the contract.
Second, I don't think any coaches at any P5 schools make losing cause for terminating a contract without a buyout. That's just not market and we wouldn't help ourselves by bucking the market that way in an lose/don't win situation for the coach.
