He's making $5 million in base salary this year and the total value of his contract is worth $44 million through 2022. How much higher than that do you really think TAF is willing to go? I know you'll get to spread Les' buyout over 8 years, but close to $2 million/year in buyouts + Jimbo's salary would be pretty steep.


Buyouts get negotiated ask the Chiz. In reality we will raise the money to pay for Les's Buy out and then paying our coach what is expected in this market is just part of business. We are top 5 in revenue off of Football. We can swing 6-7 Mill a year for a head coach if we wanted to.

Alleva came from Duke.

He is a lot more likely to hire someone who is a younger version of Cutcliffe than Jimbo Fisher.

Jimbo Fisher has a bad rep for player discipline, just don't see Alleva hiring him.

Jimbo may have won a national title more recently than Les (with a Heisman QB), but I don't think he's a better coach. The only possible upgrade I see even possibly in play is Chip Kelly.
