The fact is no sitting HC's worth a damn really wanted the job and Durkin has a 6-7 mil payday he cant leave until they fire him. He makes 1.8MM right now- and we aint paying close to that. We cant afford that.
We were paying Arnett 1.5 as DC and the rest of that staff was getting paid very well, along with Leach making more than Lebby. Our athletic department netted about 13 million in profit Leach's last year.

I'm sorry but there is just no way to make the argument we can't afford "close to that". That 1.5 million we paid Arnett is 1.64 now after inflation, and we have quite a bit more revenue coming in than we had at the time.
