Lol so now next year when we wanna can Gus we can tack on the $5M owed to Steele. We all know the D taking a major step back without DB and Marlon. Got exposed in the last couple games.
This is Boog Athletics.
I'm reading this contract a different way. There are a group of power brokers that wanted to push Gus out and for Steele to be given the HC job. I think that's still their plan and they need Steele to stay here for that to work.
Being AU football here's how this is going to work out. AU goes 7-5 next season, still struggles on offense vs any defense with a pulse and now the defense is not very good because we lost all our best players. Gus is canned and the people that wanted Steele continue to push for him but he's not hirable because the defense wasn't good and people start to mention that he was a terrible HC. But then we have to hire him because we don't want to pay $5 million more.
