If Brady Hoke is going to be fired by the University of Michigan, he should hope it acts quickly.

The move could be worth $1 million to him.

Under the terms of his contract, Hoke would be owed a buyout payment of $3 million if he gets fired without cause through Dec. 31, the final day of his contract year. If he gets fired after Dec. 31, the buyout payment would drop to $2 million.

That extra million would be especially nice for Hoke because his contract is not fully guaranteed. That means getting fired would cost Hoke the chance to earn the minimum of $7.8 million he would earn if he were to complete his initial six-year term.

They aren't going to wait that long to fire him if they know they want to fire him.

1 million to Michigan shouldn't be enough to sway them to wait and lose out on coaching candidates.

Why do people talk about this crap? No coach sits around thinking I hope they fire me so I can get free money. He'll probably get another job, and Michigan will probably only have to pay the difference between his new contract and his old one.

They are going to fire him, no doubt, but he is already a millionaire.

Michigan's lawyers are better than Hokes. Feilding a shitty team is a pretty good "cause"

Buyouts are so stupid. They never stop either side from getting what they want.
