Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (A moment of great opportunity...)

He might very well be right about this, but no one keeps a scorecard on him in terms of accuracy, if we're being honest.
The length of the contract would be about optics and power.
A five-year deal would mean that recruits would hear from other schools that he won't be around when the kid that's being recruited is a senior. A 10-year deal avoids that countdown of the clock starting in year two.
Hopefully the admin also expands the support staff. Have a Saban-like team, to help take away as much stress as possible.
I'm not sure the word splashy gets used if it's not Meyer. Stoops ain't happening IMO.
But, his dominance at the club level is such that I felt comfortable with the ranking.
Country success can be a difficult one to pin down on a single player, even if we're quick to want to rush the blame.
Or because they wanted her to get in a rep without someone taking her head off.
There's no magical drop in the buyout from what we've seen in the contract. Firing him before the 1st of dec ember would save the school $416K.
I think because of his health history, a 5-year deal is somewhat problematic. I can understand the optics of having a longer deal for protection against negative recruiting against his health.

I think they are swinging.
Much like Connor Williams, Cosmi read a lot of his draft hype in the months leading into what was always going to be his final season.
Also, like Connor, Cosmi has been ready to get the hell out of Dodge on the first train out of town.
Look up their career stats on Wikipedia. They both have tremendous stats and honors that go on and on and on.
Messi has more domestic club championships, but don’t forget that in Soain, there are two Tier 1 teams (arM & , and then there’s the rest.
The one accomplishement that simply doesn’t measure up for Messi is the greatest stage. He has fizzled, and to be the second greatest of all time of the #1 sport of the planet you can’t fizzle.
I’m not saying Messi is bad by any means, he’s way up there in all time rankings, he just hasn’t produced where he needs to, to surpass Pelé.
I just have a hard time blaming the shortcomings of the Argentina national team on Messi.Look up their career stats on Wikipedia. They both have tremendous stats and honors that go on and on and on.

There are basic ally only 5 countries the best player of all-time could come from because only a few countries are ever going to absolutely win a world cup.
That's what I was alluding to. An entire offseason spent reading how he is a top 10-level prospect pretty much gets one looking for the safest and quickest exit possible.
Agreed, he will be highest paid on a per year basis. But possibly not a total guaranteed basis. I don’t think his wife wants him signing on for 10 years, not that it doesn’t mean he could leave before that. The amount of years becomes somewhat meaningless when for him. He stays as long as he wants and he knows it.
I don't care if UM gets a 5 or 10 year deal and only coaches 4. As long as he takes the program where it needs to be and leaves it in a good position like tOSU.
Doing that will save this program and not set us back another decade.

I don't think a 10-year deal has anything with him actually trying to coach 10 more years.
You can pretty much be guaranteed that IF Urbs becomes the Texas coach this December that he won't be for 10 years.
All he has done the past 5 years has dominate at club and for Portugal. Agree with this. He is better than Messi.
If this has already been said in the first 7 pages, I apologize. But if UM is hired, it seems to make sense for all involved for Ash to stay on as DC. He’s done a good job, would provide continuity, UM knows and likes him, and UM will need a good DC anyway. Ash will need a job, and working for UM will give him another chance to learn the HC ropes, and potentially, set him up for a shot at a much bigger job at Rutgers. It would save the school money, and again, provide for continuity and some degree of insurance and potential succession in the event UM doesn’t coach his full contract. (Yes, I know he failed at Rutgers, but that was Rutgers, and he would have more years to study under UM if we decided to go that direction.)
