A proven head coach, with a natty and multiple New Year’s Day bowl wins, is gonna get a large buyout. It’s really only malfeasance to give a large buyout to a guy who has never won a New Year’s Day bowl.


I don't fault you guys for Jimbo's initial contract, I don't fault Florida for Napier's.

You have to make a 3-4 year commitment to a guy but the extension A&M gave Jimbo in 2021 was absolutely a disaster.

You can't keep firing coaches lol - Tennessee did that after Fulmer, Texas did that after Mack, etc...

Saban really screwed up everyone's understanding of how to build and sustain big time programs, and Kirby is now doing the same thing.

Florida got in this mess firing Muschamp after 3.5 years, McElwain within 3 years, and Mullen within 3.5 years.
