Message: [QUOTE="Owens guy, post: 5377721, member: 5156"] Ex-Minnesota coach Ben Johnson is very similar to Red. He is a lomg-time assistant coach with his first-time ever being a head coach job at a Power 5 school. Johnson got fired after 4 years. Was 19-15 last season & 15-17 this year. Lack of NIL took away most of his returning team this year. Johnson originally got a 5 year contract at $1.95 million per year. Lowest paid coach in B1G. MN added a year to his contract after his 1st season (13-17) for some reason & his buyout was changed to 100% so Johnson will get $3.9 million now. However, his contract says to collect the buyout he must seek comparable employment in a timely fashion. If Johnson finds a similar job (Power 5 head coach or any college head job?) then MN will cease his buyout payment. I wonder if Syracuse has similar contract language for Red? [/QUOTE]
