ok guys/gals. you are the gm of the miami dolphins.
you want keith butler as the finz new DC. what do YOU
do to make this happen? what do YOU offer? what package
do you think it would take to get it done, a contract that
cant refuse and walks out of the interview with a SIGNED
deal?
i have said in a few recent posts that to get a highly rated, sought
after coach, you have to come up with a BIG, cant turn it down
package. salary AND percs.
here is what i would do and close to what i think it will take to land
keith butler in miami.
if I am the gm............
1. i offer him a salary that is the best of the nfl DC's or at least
close to it with percs and escalators if his defenses are at the
top of the nfl each year.
2. i tag on the assistant head coach title to give the contract more
clout and its not just a DC gig.
3. i have mr ross, our resident billionare real estate mogul offer him
up a major discount on a high end estate and property deal in the
upper crust community of he and his wifes choosing.
4. he has FULL control over his defensive staff as long as he is with
the team. he approves ALL decisions on EVERY defensive draft pic
and free agent.
5. make him a WRITTEN promise that if tony sparano is vacated from the
HC position, he will get FIRST SHOT at the position as long as his defenses are performing and are in the tops of the nfl.
THIS REALLY is not a lot. not in todays nfl. we are not talking being a
corporate manager of a denny's chain. if you look at the fact that he
is the PERFECT guy for the job, that he is WIDELY considered one of
the top assistant coaches in the game and brings in a resume of top
of the nfl lb corps, superbowl wins, and schooled by one of the top 2
3-4 defense gurus in the history of the nfl, it just isnt anything overly
outlandish. not to mention the fact that other teams have been wanting
his services as DC and is on everyones short list. he has MANY suitors.
hey, this guy will be walking away from a promise of a dc gig with a team
he has built his career on. he will have to move his family, kids in new
schools. new community, new house, new climate, etc...
concidering all these factors, it WILL take a MAJOR package to land him in
miami. and ITS DESERVED!
SO, this i what I would do if i was the gm and i think the finz will be tossing in the wind if they dont offer something like this or VERY close to it. i wouldnt count out not involving him in a small ownership of the team.
hey, if gloria estefan and marc anthony and jimmy buffet can get minority
ownership, why not a new, exciting inovative young coach?
WHAT DO YOU DO to land butler if your the gm and WHY do you think
he deserves what you offer?
tell us that. dont critisize other guys deals. just tell us what and why
you would do it.
