Wish I could get paid that much after getting fired because i suck at my job.


Coaching contracts are really stupid in many ways, but no matter what the money gets paid out. Should be performance stipulations to actually receive a check over time.

Agreed.

I do find it crazy that NFL player contracts and college football scholarships aren't guaranteed and that you're dispensable based on your on-field performance or health, but yet college and pro coaching contracts aren't tied to performance and there's virtually no contractual recourse in the event of bad performance.

I know it's an apples and oranges situation, but it's a weird dynamic, especially now that coaching contracts in the NFL are on par for the most part with player salaries.
