Maybe I'm just stupid but I've never heard of a coach having to pay a buyout back to a school before. Is that really a thing?

It's a throw in clause that means little. If Kelly leaves for another job that will be paid by the new school. In relative terms it's small potatoes and it fades away pretty quickly anyway.

This is definitely a bet the farm contract barring finding some way to fire him for cause. Problem is Kelly is about as straight laced as they come and he's old, not much chance he is going to be out pulling a Mike Price.
