Actually they copied Sumlin's contract for Strong.
Right. I guess we did beat them to the punch by a month.
We have to have the dumbest fricking legal dept in the NCAA. I don't remember Sherman's contract, but I seem to recall that it had no buyout or an extremely favorable buyout for him. Kennedy, who had absolutely zero leverage during negotiations (he was a low-major coach making a fraction of 1 mil who had no other job offers), got a contract with stupidly favorable buyout terms. And now we guaranteed Sumlin 30 freaking million, despite the fact that he'd never won a conference championship, either at A&M or Houston.
You do not give a coach who has never won a conference championship a fully- guaranteed 30 million dollar contract. You just don't.

Personally I never minded the Sumlin raise. If we didn't give him that and he went to USC then it would have proven us to be a stepping stone program and would have forced us into the same hiring cycle as Texas. To me the raise was us finally putting on the big boy pants in football, its value will always be symbolic even if Sumlin doesn't work out.
I mean the writing has been on the wall for years now that he wouldn't get fired before 2016. The Chavis deal just reinforced that.
I think if we underperform next year the money left on the contract won't stand in our way.
