I don't think DFB (like that better than HCDB) wants to renegotiate until after three years either (assuming it's a 3+3=6).  If DFB wins more each season, he can command more $$$ later on.  He's paid a top 50 comp now and that's competitive enough.

However, there is nothing stopping a deep pocket University like LSU or UT to come in and buyout everything after year 1.  I just don't see them doing that because there are other fish in the market that can deliver results.  Also their respective fan bases and supporters would have the AD heads if they went after DFB now. It doesn't make any logical or financial sense for DFB to be picked up by a LSU or UT just yet.

In three years, my take is SU better be prepared to pay a top 20-25 comp package ($4 million plus) if we become a ranked team again, start getting top 25 recruiting classes and attendance goes back up to 45,000 plus average (to pay for it all).  If DFB doesn't deliver on that promise, then SU doesn't have to do anything.  Win-win.
