A Good Article on Coaches' Salaries

This bit is particularly interesting because it shows how little the folks in Fayetteville trust Bobby Petrino.

Miles' situation is interesting because of his buyout clause. His only buyout is for Michigan, and it's for $1.25 million. Petrino's buyout in his new deal made national news because it's essentially ironclad for a few years, starting at $18 million and dropping slowly, remaining at least $7 million for the next five years. But it's a two-way buyout, applying to the coach and the school. (That's essentially what Rodriguez had at Michigan as well. He would have owed the school to leave; he received $2.5 million by getting fired on or after Jan. 1.)
