The thinking in keeping muschamp is that he magically turns it around..nice idea but highly unlikely..saying that..

1. His buyout drops to 14 million by the end of 2020 but they will pay muschamp another years salary of 4.5 million in between..that's still 18.5 million he gets if he fails..


2. Big money will be spent on an oc with guarantees. That's probably another 2 million..that's close to 21 million.

If he does fail after 2020 we pay muschamp 14 million buyout and a new coach another 4 million..plus remaining oc contract. That's 20 million..

If we fire him now we pay 19 million plus 4 million to new coach and don't have to worry about an oc hanging on..

Basically sc is kicking thee can down the road another yr over 4 million..

Am I missing something?

Yes you're missing our administration being void of common sense.

The fact that Ray Tanner still has a job doesn’t bode well for any optimistic outlook of our future in athletics.

Tanner and Muschamp need to be gone yesterday. Who gives a shite if we lose coveted recruits. They’re not going to make a difference as long as those morons are running the show.

If Tanner is still our AD by the end of this next work week, we just need to accept that we’re probably fricked.

nope.

The only thing more asinine I can recall USC adminstration doing than not separating from Muschamp right now was replacing Carlen with Richard Bell.

If Ray didn't ensure a clause in WM's extension 12/2018 outlining being fired with cause for NCAA violations/probation - he should be removed today as well.

As quiet as it was kept for about 6 months ...the fact remains USC football was placed on probation under WM's watch. To hell with a buyout.

I don’t see a way that you have time to spend good money on an AD now, and still have time to let him hire a good coach in that timeframe. Especially since the market seems pretty bare right now.

Correct me if I am wrong, if you fire a coach with a buyout and he gets a job another school you only pay him the difference of what they pay him and what you owe him.

Example: you fire a coach who has 4 years and 20 million left on his contract. He gets a Coordinator job for 4 years $8 million so you’re only on the hook for $12 million.

I could be wrong, so don’t take this for data.
