Haith Extension...
- Thread starter cbark21
- Start date
It's supposed to be more of a restructuring, but I have not heard yet that anything has been completed.
So basically we are looking at another "winning" season with no hope of post season play. That should pack the seats full at the don-Rey!
I know there have been negotiations...but anything can still happen.
Can't find the words to express my frustration with this
What pathetic leadership
Tulsa is a has been program for much of the past 20 years...
What’s another 2-3
I am done
No more $$ to ghc or college of law

Continue to believe what I mentioned a couple weeks ago is happening. Restructure/Extension with easy to get out of contract. Salary with incentives but low buy out. Could easily see 3 year extension, (that gives 4 years for recruiting affect) yet still allowing easy unwind if direction does not improve. Not sure about requirement of new assistants but Leito certainly must be an option. Toby is Franks right hand guy and I just can't see him moving on.
Andy Kohut was Doug Wojcik's right-hand man, but Wojcik still dropped him like a bad habit. But that was just Woj being Woj.
Feels like we are embracing the mediocrity. I would get it if we were completely cash-strapped, but it's been said on here many times that isn't the case regarding a buyout. I am as rabid as the rest of you, but am quickly becoming apathetic. Sad.
If we are not cash strapped for a buyout why are we not doing a buyout. If we don’t buyout the contract we will have an answer to if we are really cash strapped or not.
He is in Frank's ear nearly all the game apparently making game adjustment suggestions unlike Shea or Kwanza. I would rather have suggestions from a veteran coach (Wainwright type) than a video coordinator who coached as head boys basketball coach at Goessel (Kan.) High School (a 1A school) years ago as his only head coaching experience. We can ask Kim English to hire him...............
Heard they’re replacing Haith’s large retention bonus with a Big Q and a medium pizza.
Only one snackle?! Haith’s agent must be awful, I could’ve definitely negotiated for 2 snackles as his bonus.
Sources from NW Arkansas have confirmed that Haith gets 2 free cheese conies and a large drink after every win from the 11th St. Coney Island!!! Wow his agent knows how to do some cut throat negociating.
I knew the extension a few years ago was a terrible idea, and I said as much when it was done. Man, I hope I never see Gragg on the street... he would get a piece of my mind.
Who wants to set the over under that our coach is fired mid season after losing to Either A) Lamar B) ORU C) SE/WOSU.
At least we might get to see Seals given a chance...

lol, I think that was the dude Woj always sent down to the Brook to pick up lunch for the staff. I'd be loaded at the bar and tell him to let Doug know I said hi.
If we can beat ORU going forward or will be an upset being that it’s the game we now will have circled on our calendar. Ughhhh....
How many years in the extension and why is this not in the press release? They don’t want to damage season ticket sales any more than they will be next year as we are preseason pick of 11th out of 11 teams,
The extension could be for 1 year. Could also be a restructuring of the terms such that he can be cut with no buyout and a reduced pay base structure that puts incentives on NCAA tournament wins to get more money.
If Rick is smart, there must be some changes in the assistants as well. Toby must be terminated, pronto.

I don't get it. There are many posable coaching candidates that would give us hope and potential. After 7 years we know that haith can not give us hope or potential.
Somebody pinch me so I can wake up from this nightmare.

Did you ever tell him Serious Cat loves The Beach Boys?
I have met Coach Haith several times. He's a good guy, cares for his players, & is a good "Father" type mentor. But as a coach? As a winner? As a person who produces 20+ win seasons on the court? Once TU hired John Phillips & went away from "hiring" Top Young 'hungry (wanting 2 prove themselves) Asst Coaches, TU was done. A small fan base was tired of the revolving door, but the argument was those coaches who won & won Big would eventually move on to Bigger, more $$$$, & Prestigious programs. So, it was decided to get coaches who would stay Longterm . How's that worked out for the fan base? Enthusiasm? Attendance? NCAA bids & wins? Yawn.

I'm sorry, I got spoiled under Ken Hayes, thru Nolan, thru John Phillips 1st yr. The fun, the must see, must B there, event, fizzled out along time ago. When you have had a taste of excellence, you cannot go back to mediocrity. (Maximillian Degenerez)

Wainwright was a breath of fresh air, instructing our players on new techniques and installing a much better defense. He was not a “nice” guy at practice. Now we have Toby Lane.............
This downhill slide started when they hired Buzzard Peterson and has continued with bad hires every year! Buzzard, then Phillips, then Wojcik, then Manning, now Haith... How many good programs ever came after any of these guys? Is TU preparing the fan base for a drop to D2 sports?

I did not! But there was another time Dougie and staff were entertaining a recruit or two. Again at the Brook. And of course I’d had a pop or two. Dougie walked by me and I asked if he needed some help sealing the deal. I don’t think he found it amusing. This was before the Call Me Incident of 2009. Otherwise he would’ve thrown a punch.
