Dropping an occassional public sentiment like "Gee, if only the A's could be here . . . . " from time to time is excellent lobbying for next years' salary negotation - and doesn't cost him a thing.

However, this is a pretty horrible track record of hiring that, if my understanding is correct, lets them walk off with stunning retirement packages that far outsize their lifetime pension contributions. The board needs to find a qualified candidate who will give the district some stability and then write a contract that guarantees they'll stick around.
