There could be a lot of dead money on the books

If you get rid of Phil Bennett, you're looking at about $1 million in buyout that probably won't be paid in one lump sum.

You're already paying Jimmy Tubbs not to coach here. Roughly $500K? Help me with that.

We would have two dead-money head coaching salaries on the books that were incurred within 6-8 months of each other.

In turn, you're going to give Bennett's successor more $$ and fund more to the staff.

Just something to consider.

Actually, that shouldn't be considered. Get the best man in to take us to the next level and that issue won't be one.
