Silence

The coaching dominoes have begun to fall, and out of Butts-Mehre we have...silence.

I have said here in the past that the worst thing Greg McGarity could do is nothing, and nothing is what we have so far.  Between firing and extension, the latter now seems much more likely.

So what's the hold up?

It is pure speculation, but there could be some disconnect between what Mark Fox and his agent want and what McGarity is willing to give.  Fox may be looking to shore up the buyout clause for the next contract, whereas Georgia probably wants to keep that figure manageable.

I do think we'll see news of an extension soon.  My guess is three more years with an increase to around $2 million per year.  That would send the message to potential recruits that Fox is not going anywhere and quiet - though certainly not quash - the negative recruiting.
