This week's matchup pits 2nd vs 3rd highest paid coaches in the P12.

USA Today's annual CFB coaching salary database just dropped. It lists only three Pac-12 coaches among the nation's 25 highest paid:

#19 Shaw (Tree)
#24 Whittingham (UU)
#25 Petersen (UW)

They've also including some interesting buyout data this year. Helfrich, for instance, has an $11.6M buyout.

Time to stop posting J

Time to turn the Pac-12 into a pea patch.

I want Oregon to hire Chip Kelly back so we can have a REAL rivalry.

All you fags rooting for Oregon to suck again are the biggest doogs here.
If you don't revel in the pain and disappointment of others you won't last long

Helfrenfreude?

I can tell you the exact day I stopped rooting for our P10 rivals "for the good of the conference."

Fuck everyone. Bow down to Washington.

WRONG!

I want to end their undefeated season every year and beat a TUFF USC team in the conference championship. Doogs want a cake walk in a weak conference.

Our rival is WSU. Oregon is a rivalry because they were our jealous cousin who we never even thought of... then all of a sudden they were rich and like 'in your face' - then doogs were like, 'that's our rivalry'.

Some fucking rival.

There have been like 2 competitive games in the last 20 years. I could see if we'd played them a million times for the P12N championship or if we had some scandal where we fucked them or they fucked us or whatever, but really it was never a rivalry. We were dominant and then they were. The end.

I mean, I enjoy some good Oregon schadenfreude, but IDGAF.

WSU is an actual rival. I hate them, they suck. Their way of life is inferior.

The only teams IGAF about beating in this conference are WSU and USC and the rest can suck my dick so long as we win the P12.

Oregon is a better rival than the Cuog.

I don't give a fuck if every team in the conference sucks as long as UW is good.

Wanting a great rivalry is some doog shit imo. It ranks right up there with hoping nobody on the other team is injured so we can get their best shot.
You sir, are just not classy, I NEVER root for injuries. So classless of you.

By the way, Marcus Williams looks like he won't play this week for Utah, this devastates me. I was praying for a speedy recovery for him. UGH

Obv didn't pray hard enough.

Something-something doomed to repete blahblah

haie

Whitingham is an overrated, fake piece of shit. His pre game and halftime speeches are dreck. He pumps iron to look like he isn't a shitty overrated coach. He is a boring piece of shit just like UU. I hope he dies. I wish him and his tired fucking act were in the Mountain West fighting it out with Boise where he belongs.

I heard that Helfrich has a unique clause in his contract where if he wins fewer than 5 games in two consecutive years his buyout is 0.

If this is indeed true, it would behoove Oregon to give Helfrich more time.

If not, they should still give him more time.
His contract is public record....can't imagine this hasn't been mentioned by anyone before.

***edited**** I couldn't find a clause that said anything about actual performance on the field.

Looks like it's 50% of the buyout, not zero. Unless I'm totally mistaken, which is possible (not a lawyer).

What the clause garauntees is "Helfrich gets more time"

After 5 or fewer wins in '17, Buyout drops by more than 50% due to one year closer to termination plus the loss of 50% of garaunteed salary.

Love it. Sets Oregon back 4 years (1 with Helfrich + new coach's obligatory 3), so our 5-17 becomes 9-17 (W/L vs Oregon over last 26 yrs)

Helfrich needs more cock
