Message: [QUOTE="721Comstock, post: 3636858, member: 5429"] It goes both ways. You want to keep a good coach. You also want to get compensated if he gets poached, so you have the resources to hire a suitable replacement. Nobody at that time was thinking - "what if we want to fire Babers"? Pretty much EVERY P5 coach gets a contract with some sort of a buyout clause in it. [URL unfurl="true"]https://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/salaries/[/URL] The top guys ones are MASSIVE. Dabo's is FIFTY MIL. Jimbo's is $53 MIL. There are SIXTEEN P5 coaches with buyouts in excess of $20 MIL. In the ACC, after Dabo, the buyouts are: Norvell - $19M Collins - $17M Bronco - $16.9M Dino - ?? Fuente - $12.5M Note that these are many of the 'newer' coaches (or in Dino's case, newly extended). That's just SOP in a P5 conference now. [/QUOTE]
