Corch is correct, most of these contracts include a differential, whereby if he signs with another school for 5 bucks and our contract is 10, we pay the other 5. I believe they also have to make a "market value" offer. Meaning they cant offer him a quarter and we have to pay the other nine million.

Harsin is a young guy. A lot is his fault, a lot, but he can also, and rightfully so, blame a lot on covid, with NIL and the Portal, the school being totally unprepared for NIL, the boosters not giving him any money to work with regarding NIL, etc. And land a decent gig.

If he hangs around and waits to be fired, he will be fired and to ride this thing into the ground for the money will make him a pariah and his options shrink from Arizona State to St. Paul High School.

Exactly. He still has some value now but it could get ugly if he sticks around and decides he wants to keep battling the big boys with his 3 stars and boise staff

I don't think Harsin's contract is setup that way. And Gus's was not either.

Harsin's buyout is 75% of Remaining Contract, with 50% to be paid in 30 days. Then 4 years of paying the rest of the 50%.

If Harsin was fired end of September his total buyout would be around 19.5 million total. 9.75 due with in 30 days, 2.5 for 4 years.

Malzahn still has a couple of years of 2.7 million.
