Official HC Speculation Thread
- Thread starter PiKA1000
- Start date
Well he did have a year as the HC/OC at TU. I guess Sonny didn’t look at the stats from that year.
Killough, from Incarnate Word would be funnier. They both would be gallows humor.
I never even researched it because I figured there was one: (there was)
"One of the more notable aspects of Kinne’s previous contract was its unique buyout clause. Initially, it included a 50% buyout provision, meaning Texas State would owe Kinne half of his remaining deal if terminated, and Kinne would owe the same if he resigned. However, last year’s restructuring increased the buyout to 75% of the then-$5 million deal.
That meant if either party were to end the contract, the other would owe approximately $3.75 million. Had Kinne opted to pursue a higher-paying coaching role next offseason, the cost of his departure would’ve dropped to around $3 million — a substantial figure for the Bobcats."

That is his former contract. I'm assuming the next one will be structured similarly to the 75% restructuring he received last year. So that would be 5 x 2m x .75 = 7.5M buyout now.
We won't come up with Wilson's buyout, (between 3M & 4.5M) 7.5M buyout for Kinne, 2.5m minimum salary, increased salaries of assistants, and significant Nil. That new contract w/ buyout made it null and void.
I would certainly throw an interview at Symons, Marion, Kinne if he would take the call and the sides were close.
Just please, no retreads.

I don’t believe it but KW owes us a gallon or two of milk. Don’t care if it’s Braum’s or Reasor’s.
That’s my bad LEC. I should have done better with keeping up with Graham’s marriage before making the joke. 😁
Come on guys. We all know this means he is the guy. Have we not learned anything over the past 10 years?
Note: I don’t know if Marion is the guy or not. We need to have a little levity.
Confident that Spavital is not on the short list. Many names are being thrown around, some by their agents or family, that are simply not in the running. This is a very tight lipped process. When we are close credible sources will send out some signals.
In the mean time we can speculate, joke or whatever else we want because only 1 or 2 posters on this board may have any influence in the decision. I think people know who they are and I definitely am not one of them. Que up a Seinfeld reference.

Nope, that's my bad waking up at the buttcrack of dawn to let the dog out and thinking I could make any sense at all.
It wasn't volunteering.
And the next time that poster has a good idea will be the first time.
You do know that the board was much more pleasant during your extended absence. Was it self imposed?
Texas has been in the running. They both broke their chains this season though. Same with SMU.
It's Thanksgiving, so I'll be grateful that we have an AD that pulled the trigger on an important executive decision. Also grateful that there's a place like this where I can interface and commiserate with other TU fans (save the lone dirtbag in here with $$ in her name). Cause for optimism after 2 seasons of ineptitude.

Here is one I don’t think anyone has thought of and is not worse than some of these suggestions I have seen. How about Cale Gundy? He resigned his position at Oklahoma in 2022. So he has been out of coaching for 2 years. Resume isn’t that bad
The comments which got him to resign at OU probably have kept and we’ll keep him out of coaching. It is too bad when people are not willing to give others a second chance.
I guess I didn’t see what he said. You are right, sometimes people make bad decisions and people do need to be afforded second chances but these guys are also allowed to be human as well and humans have feelings, thoughts and emotions and some are not going to be popular. Again I don’t know what was said
The reason given seems very minor to me. He read an inappropriate word, I’m assuming the n word, that was on a player’s iPad.
OU's Gundy resigns, read aloud 'shameful' word
Longtime Oklahoma football assistant coach Cale Gundy resigned Sunday night, saying he read aloud "a word that I should never -- under any circumstance -- have uttered" off the screen of a player's iPad during a film session last week.
