Cryin’ Sherrone Moore, Sniffles, HC TCUN (Dead Man Walking)

I think they realize that things are about to go down the tubes rapidly and Moore was at least a link to their recent (ill-gotten) success. I think they are just smart enough to realize they weren't going to find a HC worth a damn on the open market with 2 major NCAA investigations hanging over their head. Moore was a safe, comfortable hire that they're hoping can somehow shepherd them through the rough times ahead, and if not, he will at least get them through the sanctions as a fall guy.

He's 100% the fall guy from day 0. And he's too dumb to notice i guess, or didn't get an offer to SoCal.

Although a lot of coaches would agree to be a fall guy for $6 mil a year, doncha know.

At first it makes sense. But if you're already a 1mil/yr coordinator... does it make sense to ruin it all for a one-year hit of 6mil?
Then again, maybe he knows he's got nothing without Stalions. But still, he could have continued the grift ala Grinch. Failing through all the bluebloods for a decade.

He'll get three years. Roughly figuring, he takes home 12M. Agents and business managers take 2 of that. Say, he's somewhat frugal and spends a million of that to live for those three years. That's 9M in an investment fund. Set it up in a no-tax state like Nevada, and you're paying nothing except capital gains tax on any increases in the portfolio. Treat it like an endowment and disburse 4% a year and then hope that the fund's annual return is at least 4% + the inflation rate. IF you can average that, you have an annual salary of 360K taxed at capital gains (roughly clears 25K/month) with no state income tax, and you're not touching the principal. And of course that's if he decides to retire right then and there instead of going back to being a 1M/year coordinator.

In other words, he's set for life if he doesn't decide to live like an NBA player. It's totally the right call.
