re: Canada and Orgeron : The story

Thanks for taking the time to research all of that, actually pretty good info.

so the odds of him breaking even with the $3mil is actually quite slim.

The answer to the question of why would Canada take a lesser buyout if he wasn't doing the things being said is because doing so allowed him the possibility to make even more money going forward. Whether he will or not I'm not sure. But again, it's not out of the realm of possibility that someone with Canada's apparent ego would bet on himself in this situation because he thinks he can.

I would add that most of if not all of those schools are hiring new head coaches that are likely going to demand higher staff salaries. I don't think it's unrealistic at all to think more than 3 of the vacancies on that list will pay more than $775k for coordinators next year.

I'd also add that most of the big vacancies have been filled by coaches thatvare heavily involved in their teans offenses, and it is possible that Canada wouldn't have interest in going to those places since they would limit his power. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
