SIAP: Husker Staff Football Salaries

Perceived lack of performance doesn't qualify...

So let's play the perception game with actual facts then..

Satt in '24 as OC was 5-4
Dana in '24 as OC was 2-2

So by just the facts alone, once could argue that Satt percentage wise was better than Dana was, but most sane people could see that the offensive spark Dana provided was a change for the better.

The facts don't bear that out, but perception wise, most can agree that Satt was horrible and that the offense stepped up under the new guy.

Maybe someone else can spend the time to go deeper into offensive production statistics between the two, but in a lot of ways, perception is reality.

Edit: just took the total offensive points divided by the number of games to get an average ppg for each coordinator:

Both guys are at exactly 23.5 points per game, well Satt is actually higher at 23.555555 versus 23.50 for Dana

Fired for cause means he has to have violated some rules in his contract. Perceived lack of performance doesn't qualify if that's your angle.

I litigated commercial contracts for over 20 years. There is always a way to assert a claim, which in turn would lead to a reduced money settlement.

Did you litigate P4 coaching contracts? I’m a former litigator too, and while I agree with what you said in a vacuum, it seems like a fantastic way to have no coach want to work for your program. No AD wants the reputation that he/she invents reasons to avoid paying contracts.

But the bad publicity and bad will would NOT be good for the program overall.

same program that just cowered from playing a scheduled non-con home and home with UTenn?

yea, I don't think the powers that be care one iota about bad press

And you'd be wrong. Very wrong. Why do you think someone like Mickey Joseph is no longer around,

see: cowering

Still litigating contract issues, and the reason the University, or any reasonable plaintiff, wouldn’t make this argument is that it would lose on day one. The contract doesn’t have a “minimum performance success” definition in it to qualify as a “for cause” issue. But I guess I’m not surprised KK wouldn’t exactly be a reasonable plaintiff.

Satt’s record included at least 3 games against bad teams that were not part of Dana’s sample set. And taking over late-season under duress is not equivalent

satt may do just fine with less on his plate. do need to adjust salary going forward.
