I've seen folks throwing out a multitude of different numbers regarding Johnson's buyout and the timelines of the said buyout. See below for what I believe to be the accurate information.

quote:

Should Alabama terminate Johnson without cause before April 15, 2018, it owes him $9 million. That decreases to $8 million if he’s released between April 16, 2018 and April 15, 2019 and $6 million between April 16, 2019 and April 15, 2020.

If Johnson were to take another job — college or professional — before April 15, 2018, he owes the university $3 million. If he does so between April 16, 2018 and April 15, 2019, it’s $2.5 million.


Those figures are why I'm afraid unless some huge money boosters actually care, Johnson is here another couple years unless he leaves on his own accord.

Hard to believe the worse we've ever had in basketball is stealing this much money cause damn sure not earning any of it. Frickin arse joke.

He's hardly the worst we've ever had. Grant left the program a dumpster fire. At least Avery recruits well.

Why again did we give an unproven coach a buyout?

Stuck with Avery. Byrne needs to demand he unass all the other worthless so called fricks on the coaching staff.

They doubled his fricking buyout when they extended him?? WTF were they thinking? Nobody was chasing him!!

Here's his original deal and where I was getting the $3 million after April 15th. Why did they restructure his buyout when they extended him? There was no reason to.

Just this once, I wish the FBI had Avery on those wire taps.

Naw, I don't want Bama brought into that. Could be irrepairable damages.

If we were ever going to get in trouble, this would have been the best time to do it. There are much bigger fish to fry in this ordeal. It would have given us a nice way to get out of the buyout

My only thought is...

I hope Bill Battle hangs his dusty old scrotum on a rusted nail.

Our only hope is hiring a miracle worker.

Does Ole Gunnar Solskjaer know much about basketball?

The BOT are the GD problem. Why would anybody offer such a buyout as they have for Grant and Avery? F'Um. Until the crowds for Bama men's team will fit into Foster then I don't expect them to fire Johnson.

I sure wish I could have negotiated my tuition at UA like this. If I had known what morons were running the show I might have tried!

It’s hard to imagine anyone doing any job as poorly as Bill Battle.

WRONG!!!! WRONG!!!! WRONG!!!

Bill Battle was successful in keeping all the University Club Teams from wearing our Script A. This is clearly the most important job for an AD.
