these guys have unbelievable buyouts. I'm not a 'gloom and doomer' fearing a crash like 1929, but its hard to imagine if Hamilton calls the UT deep pocket guys and Jacobs calls the AU deep pocket guys they would all say "hell,yea,getting the checkbook out right now."
Plus,since their programs are self-supporting,hard to see them then going to their season ticket holders and asking for more $$$ next year.
I might be insane,but you have to think the folks who have the big bucks are a little concerned about their personal finanical situations right now.

I can't believe he has a $6 million buyout.

Tubby renegotiated his buyout last year. Its now lower than before, and gets lower each season.
What is his buyout standing at now?

The contract includes a buyout that will be at $6 million in 2008, $5 million in 2009 and $4 million after that if Tuberville leaves for another job or is fired.

Also from that article:
I guess his philosophy about changing the offensive scheme is a little different though, since he fired Franklin after half a season.
quote:
"We're excited about it," Tuberville said. "It's one of those things that we worked it slow. I know people have been anxious. I haven't been looking at any other job. I don't want any other job. I love Auburn. We want to be at Auburn a long time, as long as we can be there. Good things happen slow. We're excited about it."

Buyouts are rarely ever paid in full, unless it's a really messy seperation (see rich rod and WVU) . I find it hard to imagine Fulmer and Tennesse would ever reach the point were Fulmer would demand 6 million for not coaching, given the fact that he has played there and coached there for his whole carrer. I think both Fulmer and Tennesse have a little bit more pride and class than rich rod and WVU.
As for Tubs and Auburn, finincial crises or not I don't doubt that if the higher ups think it's time for a change they will pay whatever it costs to send Tubs packing...that is just my opinion of course.
