re: Will Jimbo ever get another Power 5 HC job?

Just an assumption, but his buyout more than likely contained an offset clause. That means that any pay he got from another coaching job would count against his buyout. While money from other things necessarily wouldn't go toward offset (tv appearances, NIL, booster paid appearances, etc) the salary would.

In essence, why coach for free? Why go through the stress and strain, to make nothing more? He'd be wiser to get a college commentator gig on TV/radio/podcast. That money he would get to keep in addition to his buyout.
