Which is when you outkick your coverage, (read, finish in top 3rd) – you get paid that year like a Top 3rd coach.
The question remains: what happens when you shank one or two?
You don’t get your bonus.
The salary is one thing – I’d renegotiate his salary to make it middle of the pack – and tell him, I’ll happily renegotiate it again if you finish ahead of the middle of the pack again. And like I said, a big fat bonus (in addition to his salary/what he already has this year) so his total salary and bonus would be slightly above the 3rd highest paid coach in the league.
I think Yow does get pretty creative on incentives – and she may be doing this. If DD is wanting Dabo or Richt money – he has to realize he asking for more than the market is demanding for his services. But this may be like that Gecko / Sir Larry Wildman negotiation in that Yow is going to have to pay some coin for getting personal (in this case, threatening to fire him.)
