and Dip - I thought you went to another board?

For Cubit and his son, big picture, that is a pretty sweet buyout. I mean not too many people get a million with their walking papers, and for the young Cubit a chunk of change if wisely invested can insure his retirement.

Congrats to McGarigle for being retained by Lovie Smith.

Yep.

But I occasionally feel compelled to throw cold water on the gushing Fleck man crushes.

I was going to say, poor Cubit Jr for the first time will have to compete on the open labor market for jobs, as opposed to having his old man give him jobs like the ridiculous $75k job he got right out of school. This buyout will certainly salve that wound.

How much were the buyouts for Cubit and Cubit Jr?

1 million for Dad 375000 for son

Thad Ward (former WMU assistant under Cubit) was hired as RB coach under Lovie.

Tim Knox also retained. Good guy, happy for him.

With McGarigle being retained, still lots of Cubit spillover on the new staff.

He won't be out of work long... He's a good coach with a great resume... I expect he finds a coordinator position with a P5 before start of next season.
