RPI Offseason Thread: Six Languages of Drivel

Re: RPI Offseason Thread: Six Languages of Drivel

Rick Bennett gets a contract extension through 2022. They keep extending him and he will still be the coach 5 years after he's dead.
I'm not a fan of 7-year contracts. Too much can happen and the school can be locked into a bad situation. Besides, these deals tend to be one-sided in favor of the coach.

When you punch RPI student athletes, supposedly you can do no wrong.

Winning a National championship cures all ills, at least in Schenectady.

Yes we are well aware of bad long-term contracts.

Remember, the two coaches that won national titles at RPI also had some issues. That is often the case with successful people. They push the limits and sometimes cross the line, at least in the minds of some. It all depends on your priorities and motivations, but it is certainly much more difficult to run a successful executive out of an organization.

Terrific honor, and well deserved.

Let it go Louie. Let it go. One incident in an otherwise stellar career shouldn't taint the guy forever. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

One incident that we know of. This kind of behavior doesn't come out of thin air.
He had a great season and he deserves praise for that, but I don't think that we have heard the last of his anger management problem.

national championship - Yes
Rick Bennett - No.
If it takes the second to get the first, I don't want it.
