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?

Yes it's a thing, just not as common as it used to be. Regardless, his buyout for leaving is so small compared to the contract it's almost meaningless. It's 4 million if he leaves before January 1, 2023, and 2 million after that for the rest of the contract
