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

I nominate the Arkansas athletic director for his replacement

LSU is paying Kiffin's salary plus around $9M a year for Brian Kelly's buyout

I was also kind of wondering if this had anything to do with the efforts that were discussed to try to exit the ACC or if its just booster alliances shifting?
Most places I've had connections to the AD was downwind of the politics related to onfield success, President/BOR and booster support.
If the boosters pull money changes happen quick, if the big money wants their boy in place to keep control of things he usually survives.

If Alford had his way he probably would have fired Norvell last year.
His biggest problem was the handling of NIL.

More like the end of the end.

3 mo to find a new AD to be I place as soon as you can Norvell after Thanksgiving.
Hopefully Arkansas does the same thing.

Blake Baker will be the next FSU head coach. I don't like it, but it makes sense to me.

$70 million??? Contracts are out of control.

I haven't read it yet but there's a long thread on Warchant about these ramblings. I'll never get past his 7 notebook playsheet but at least he could recruit. We're gonna find out by Halloween whether FSU wants to actually be a player or just be Nebraska for the next 100 years

How epic would that be lol

Jimbo Fisher is not welcome back at FSU. Brian Kelly would be a good fit.

I get the point you making… but LSU ain’t got 25 guys giving more money than Todd…
