If you don't quit then eventually you will be fired. The contracts and buyouts are written in favor of the coaches. No one is quitting and leaving money on the table.
Still he should have finished the season unless he had health problems.

True. but eventually every coach stops coaching so the "quit". I get it. I am straining at gnats when I said what I said. I was actually trying to be cute and contrary. Yes, he quit in the middle of a season and for most that is unforgiveable, and I get that, too.
But, from a players perspective I would rather have a coach that does not want to be there leave than to go through the motions for optics sake. Spurrier had lost his fire and drive, so he quit. He should have done that before the season started, and probably shortly after the previous season ended.

Typically you don't get a buyout when you quit. A buyout typically is for the coach if he gets fired, or for a team if they hire a coach away as a penalty.
If a coach quits like Spurrier did they typically forfeit any compensation owed to them for the remainder of the contract.
