Schaus hired Saul to 5 years, mistake in my mind as well as the $550k per. He did hire Bolden, a good hire He hired Webb, a bad hire He did hire Smith, bad hire He did not hire Frank ETC ETC If I was to give Schaus a grade for his time at Ohio it would be a C. I have met Schaus several times. He is personable with small talk, but don't ask him any tuff questions cause you'll get the run around even if the question is posed for a yes or no answer. I have no insight into our new President and his position on college sports. I would be curious to learn if anyone has any insights into whether he is or is not a supporter? Does Schaus have a contract? What are the terms?

Needless to say, this hire will determine a great deal on how his tenure at OHIO is remembered.

He also gets "performance bonuses" when any OU team wins a MAC Championship, when the football team makes a bowl game or when then mens basketball team makes the NCAA tournament. He signed a 5-year contract extension in 2016 that runs through 2021. As of 2016 he was making 281k per year. https://www.athensnews.com/news/campus/ou-extends-athleti...

So he's up for a contract renewal in the next 12 months. With that in mind, I'd say his seat is warm then.

From what I have heard, his relationship with Nellis is about as good as the relationship between JS and Saul (i.e. bad to non-existent). When your boss forces you off of the NCAA Selection Committee (a lifelong, career-defining sort of goal), that more than stings a bit. Schaus was charged with spending more time fundraising instead, which is just not one of his strong points.

Also,other then dollars,I don't know much interest Nellis has in sports and or being involved in making tough decisions,like hiring like hiring coaches.

I believe you are correct that Shaus will retire if Nellis is still here at the end of his contract. I believe Dr. Nellis looks at this as a pre-retirement job. A little research at the time of his hire showed a bit of friction between him and the Texas Board of Regents. Also not sure why our Board of Trustees "punted" on this hire? As Nellis came in with no "vision" or "Big plans and goals".

At least that's how it's worked in the past, and I suspect it'll work with Nellis.

I really struggle trusting him on this search for new coach.
