Well that is not correct. We owed the moron $36 million total. He has been paid 3 year of salary now at $7 million per year which is $21 million. So how do you still owe $27 million?

Not much. I’d say around a couple thousand average maybe and that may be high.

Isn’t Steele basically coaching for his state of AL retirement?


I have no idea what the AL retirement plan is, but Steele's latest contract pegs him at 2.6 million a year, and he has been making high, and I mean high six figures for a couple of decades....I dont think he is concerned about a pension check.

He is a very good coach and has proved it over and over again. You have to have some help from the other side of the ball.

I checked, looks like he is vested and his retirement would be close to 700 grand, now that is a nice pension.

State Retirement benefit tops out way below that. His salary for the 'average highest 3 of the final 10' would only be considered up to somewhere in the 300k-ish range. He wouldn't get 700k per year, more like 150k bc of age/years of service

I have explained this numerous times. I also tried to explain how returns from his investments will be way more than any retirement funds, but they don't understand.

I checked the couch cushions, but I’m still short over 26 million.

Gustav’s deal went into effect on 1/1/18 and runs through 12/31/24. That’s 7 years.

To keep the math as simple as possible, lets assume he makes an even $7 million every season. That means at the end of this calendar year AU will have paid him 3 years ($21 million) and have him under contract for 4 more ($28 million).

His buyout is 75% of his remaining deal, so that means if we fire him as of 1/1/21 we would owe him $28 million X .75 = $21 million, of which $10.5 million would be due by 1/31/21, the rest paid in monthly installments over the remaining 4 years.

tl;dr its easy to spend other people’s money.

Options:
1) Keep Malzahn for 4 years for $28 mil

2) Fire Malzahn ($21.5 mil), Hire new coach for a $20 mil - 4 year contract. $41.5 mil total for next 4 years.

3) Wait a year, Malzahn makes $7 mil next year, buyout would be $16.2 mil ($23.2 Total), hire new coach for $5 mil/year. $38.2 mil total for next 4 years.

This does not include assistants.

To me, the wait a year for buyout argument, is dumber than the argument of we can't get a better coach than Malzahn argument.
