If the current coach has won a National Title, don't make a competitive counter-offer when another school offers them a bonus that is larger than their current salary. When the proven coach questions the AD and President regarding why a new, unproven coach for another sport is hired and now making several times their salary, refuse to make any effort to keep the proven coach on your payroll.
If the below-average coach of your highest-profile program (that funds almost the entire athletic department) has no hope of ever winning a National Title, extend their contract for at least five years and give them a big raise, pricing out every second and third tier school that could have done you a favor, and making it prohibitively expensive for you to pay the buyout. However, if a wealthy alum offers to pay the buyout, tell the alum (and all alumni) to go to hell, and begin a new nationwide search for an unproven, expensive hire to coach a non-revenue generating program.
Repeat.

@Hard Way To be fair on point one, she was promoted to Director of both men's and women's track programs at Georgia. A significant promotion and likely jump in salary. Assuming we are referring to the women's track coach.
Having said that, no excuse or justification for Helton's contract extension. we were competing against ourselves. The hire itself was bad enough.
Very. Rack him. 🔥🔥
Well articulated.
