Original Title: Beavers HC Jonathan Smith, asked if his agent is talking to other schools: “He better be, I mean, that’s his job. To let me know what’s out there. Otherwise why am I paying him so much? I mean, you’re talking about a couple million so far. Its an agent’s job to let you know what the offers are.”
The interview just concluded:
When asked about his contract with the Beavers he said “I’m not worried about my contract, it already got automatically extended based on our success this year, but I have a lot of guys on staff that also need to be taken care of if we’re going to continue to be successful here. And that’s one of the things our meeting at the end of the season will be about: letting the players know that we’re still going to be funded on a power-five level going forward, and that the program is going to be in good hands going forward.”
(note: I tried to transcribe as accurately as I could, but without a pause button in a live interview this is more of a paraphrase)
He sort of dodged the question about whether or not he would seriously consider taking another job, and didn’t leave me with a lot of confidence that if the right offer came along he won’t be gone. He kind of gave the impression that if OSU doesn’t take care of his staff that he will seek other employment, though he didn’t directly state that.
