Timmy Chang (Hawaii) is $56,000.
I can literally pay that myself. In fact I might call up the AD at Hawaii tomorrow and demand a coaching change and tell them I already have the personal check written just so I can feel like a super-rich booster for one moment of my middle class life.
Timmy is off to a good start this season. Better hope his agent hasn't already duped the AD into another contract extension and a bigger buyout.

Agreed- and also there is NIL to spend that money on now too.

Imagine being so bad they pay you millions to NOT work.
Imagine having no incentive to work due to a guaranteed generational buyout.

Who the hell set the precedent about coaches getting these insane buy outs for being crappy at their jobs?
It’s the fans and the over importance we put on winning in college football. When a big contract is signed, the program is usually out of desperation and the hot prospect coach is the promise to bring the program to elite status. That promise (whether it will be realized or not) gives the new coach leverage. And he knows that.
In the end the fans as a collective is responsible for this. They are the source of demand because winning is a drug high in our sports addicted culture. And currently no price is too high for that.

AD's are stupid
pay them more per year to get that buy out lower. instead, they give extension, raise pay and buyout.

I thought most of these have some sort of stipulation they have to try and work and anything they make is removed from being owed?

Why are buyouts so confusing?
Actually Franklins isn’t necessarily guaranteed. He has a clause that he has to actively look for another job and he will get less money once he gets another job. Goes from 49 to 18 or so million.

goes from $49 to minus whatever he's paid in the next job so instead of Penn st paying $8.5 mil a year they will only have to pay $3-4 most likely

Right. I should have explained that. The reason I said 18 was a host said that number because of what they expect him to get at his next gig. Either way he isn't going to get all that money from Penn st.

Kirk Ferentz was one of the first when he signed a 10 year extension in 2004.
Retard crooked grill AD Gary Barta loved getting gangraped in a contract negotiation.

Don’t pay one, and you won’t ever get a good coach. It’s not rocket science.
Every contract should be fluctuating IMO. You start with a player/coach and their agreed contract... which should and probably does have bonuses tied to getting them the max. BUT how many players/coaches have money taken back or withheld due to a bad season?

I was predicting that in the NIL era these would never get paid because if given the option between paying a coach $50M to walk away or paying less than that (pick a number) to just buy an amazing team and stay with your less than ideal coach...you'd think most would take the latter option.
I'm hoping that's what the badgers do. Don't pay Fickell $25M to leave. Use $20M and buy an awesome team for next season (cuz if you haven't watched us yet this year, this team is bad....really bad...next Saturday may be the first game in college football history that the home team requests ending early via a mercy request).

The question is, does he have to take that? I recall seeing a report about a coach that took less money because for every dollar he earned, the prior university would reduce his buyout clause by the same amount. Therefore, he took less so the university had more money for the OC & DC and there was nothing the prior university could do.

Scott Woodward's dumbass started it with the Jimbo contract. Then he came over here and gave Brian Kelly a decade-long contract. Asinine for ANY coach's contract to be longer than 4-5 years.

the next A&M AD then extended Jimbo's contract.
Arkansas AD (Long) extended Bielema when he was 2-14 in SEC play. Same AD then got sued at Kansas for firing their coach to hire Les Miles.
Kevin Sumlin recieved a lum sump from A&M of over $10 million, the same week he signed a $15 million contract with Arizona, where he was fired after going 9-20.
Florida State had to pay buyouts to both Taggart, South Florida, and to Oregon totaling over $22 million, Taggart won just 9 games there. Now Florida State owes a buyout of $63 million to a coach that in year 6 only has 2 winning seasons.
