I've heard these contract require that you have to take another similar job in the field and they are only paid the difference.

No clue how the buyout is paid out via the contract.
But quick math, let’s say they agree to a reduced amount of $30 million to be paid over next year instead of $53illion paid out over life of remaining deal(6 years).
$30 million invested at a 10% return equals to more than $53 million.
So yea, I guess they’re are ways and that’s if BK agrees.

Kelly would have to decide to retire or coach somewhere else. And neither of those are happening.

The offer should be $40M and leave now, or you can stay but you aren’t getting the NIL budget you’ll need to stay competitive b/c no one likes you and it’s pretty unanimous with the boosters they aren’t helping you with their money, so good luck next year a-hole.
Pull a PlayNow on Constanza and put a lock on his door to his office. Hell he might not even notice that.

Does every AD get fired when coaches don’t pan out? Seriously, is the Penn State, Florida, or FSU AD getting fired. Auburn next? Woodward has to negotiate with agents and present to a board and his boss for final approval of these contracts. Is every executive that hires a HC to be fired if the head coach doesn’t work out?

If you think Trace Armstrong is going to let Kelly take almost half of what he is due on his contract you’re a fool. That would damage his reputation with his other clients.

Sorry, I was not clear. The money is crippling. I’d be shocked if he is fired. I’m not a booster or donor in any way. Just trying to wrap my head around a 7-5 season, which really sucks. Do not see a realistic way to move on from BK without bankrupting the alumni base.

You bring up interesting stats for the emotionally impaired.
Saban @ LSU. 75% win pctg
Saban @ Bama 85%
Kiffin @ OM 66%
Kiffin @ P4 67%
Let's revisit this when the year is over and his win % drops to 68%. And also remember he was gifted 3 wins in bowl games where we played vastly inferior opponents in now meaningless bowl games in the playoff era of CFB.
And Les was at 77%, and at no point had a 4 year run where he lost as many games as BK will lose in his first 4 years.
Even Coach O will not have a 4 year stretch where he lost as many games as BK will lose in his first 4 years, and he went 5-5 and 6-6 in his last 2 years. and he's at 72% in his 6 years.

Not when the contract is 100-% guaranteed

The stats I posted are actual history. Everything you are saying is projection. If you have that much faith in your numbers then go to Vegas and retire wealthy.
Kiffin has told Sexton to make him the highest paid coach out there. His numbers dont support that.
Also looks like you missed my point on trending.

You put this forth as if he fricking cares.
Kelly could go 3-9 without NIL money next year and he wouldn’t care. HE is guaranteed to get paid, regardless of how well or poorly he does. There is no real incentive to be successful, and it’s been that way since Day One.

This is how we will end up worse off, not better off
Please stop
It will run it course

I bet we keep Kelly and next year is a rebuilding year

not if I was guaranteed a lot more than 25 million, no I wouldn't consider it
I'm not working in either scenario

Especially when you’re clearly not working already, anyway.

It’s like winning the lottery … take 50 million over 10 years or 24 million lump sum. Give me the lump sum.
But it wouldn't be over 10 years. It would be 52 million over 6 years (the life remaining in the contract). 52 million over 6 years or 24 million lump sum, yeah, I'm taking the 52 over 6 years.
The lottery is a bit different. The amounts people win are typically much, much greater, and they spread the payments out over 29 years, not 6. It makes a lot more sense to take the lump sum in that scenario

Hate to be the one to tell you this, but I’m telling you guys it’s a strong bet. It’s gonna be Franklin that gets picked to replace Kelly
