Pitt’s performance based NIL structure

I don't have a problem with it but what about the coaches and admin getting guaranteed money? Put everybody on an incentive plan if you want to be fair.

I like it, wins =$$.

With coaches that would be pretty straightforward. So with your Head Football Coach $1M for every win, or like a $2M base and another $2M for every win after six.

How do you structure that for an AD? Do you pretend like you care about all sports equally and go off the Director Cup standings? Is making money for the department part of it?

You guys that want Rhule canned...

Okay, let's look at the rankings, because you're right, that's all we have to go by. #31 and #23 overall recruiting rankings first 2 classes. So, an average of #27. By comparison, we had an average of #24 ranked class for the previous 5 years. Then take a look at some of the teams around us in those rankings. He's right there with the Arkansas, North Carolina, Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland, Miss St, NC State, Texas Techs of the world. Seems like a C rating to me, at least for us
worse because all those teams listed would or have already beaten him on the field.

mizzou, ark, texas tech would beat us by 50 if we played them this weekend
maryland is 1-0 vs rhule
UNC, NC state, UK might be good games
Miss St is the only team listed that we'd have a good shot against

I share your concerns for the most part, but I wouldn't give him a C in recruiting. I don't know how you grade that other than just going by the usual stars/ratings. Maybe he can't coach for crap, but that doesn't mean other schools wouldn't whore their mothers out to get some of the players he's landed. Personally, I think the making the right change at OC will make every other aspect look better. A team that scores points has fun and looks like it (motivation). A team that scores points makes those decisions over timeouts and challenges less critical when every game isn't a 3-7 point nail biter.

or why all his first choices told him to pound sand like Jake Peetz did
He should've went the route of hiring some guy from the FCS ranks that had a track record of putting up huge numbers and that could've brought his best players with him. Like Kade Bell at Pitt for example. That's probably still what he should do as soon as Iowa is done breaking one off in us.

Sounds like a shit show that will blow up in their faces shortly. Although, trading that in the short term for a winning season might be worth it. It's not feasible in modern college football to just stop paying your players to "make them hungry." When you go to pay the performers after the season they'll already be in negotiations with better programs than Pitt. I think the improvement at PItt is because they fired their offensive staff, hired a really dynamic OC and got a portal QB from Alabama that has turned out to be pretty damn good.

The Sporting News: It’s becoming ‘more and more possible’ Oklahoma State could fire Cowboys head football coach Mike Gundy

The Oklahoma State President issued a statement distancing the school from Gundy's statements. It's probably unlikely that Gundy will be fired after this year, even though his team is winless in a watered-down Big 12 conference. But he isn't helping his cause when the University President feels it necessary to publicly respond to his "offensive remarks."

Dear Weiberg, there is a new sheriff in town. A movement has spread across the prairie and it’s not slowing down. We are no longer hiding under our beds because some mean words were said. Harden up, Stop being such a pansy and just tell your coach to go out and win some games. Hard stop

I was watching Callahan and Sipp earlier this week and they were very clear that Satt was NOT one of Rhule's first choices for OC. They said he had difficulty putting together a staff coming from the NFL and that Satt was definitely the backup plan. Makes you wonder who he really wanted?
