Is she buying players in NIL? Is she cutting a check for $50M to buyout Norvell? If not it doesn’t matter.


Sorry it was sarcasm. She 100% could not give 2 shits about FSU Athletics

Got it sorry didnt pick up on it.

To be clear, I don't have any dislike for FSU, I live not too far away and think its a great school.

I just think the list of schools that can fire a coach with a $50-70M buyout and rehire tag is really short, not completely sure Bama is on it to be honest.

Just looked it up, looks like $800k per month or ~$10M/year through 2031.

Painful but maybe approachable depending on how upset the boosters are.

Still have to hire a new guy on top of that which depending on who you're looking at is where it really starts to add up.

Even if you bring in a G5 guy you're still talking $5-7M which means your annual coaching comp is well north of the highest paid coaches in the country, think right now top of the market is something like $13M/year?

The big donors didn't put out much if anything for this roster when they decided to bring Norvell back. They were done with him

No clue where they go but most of the athletic dept needs to be cleaned out.

Alford thought there would be a true salary cap and pissed off a lot of coaches
