So, if they waited for 2 more losses they could have saved that money?

Because Pittman's overall record since 2021 was above .500 (29-27), per his contract Arkansas owes him a buyout of nearly $9.8 million.

A Weird feeling about firing Pittman.

Close loss to OM - unless you think they are overrated after what they did to LSU -

Crap loss to Memphis - that was dumb game management by Petrino.

ND game was the only one they looked overmatched in.

He needs to wear a ski mask when he picks up that last check.

We would have saved around $3M if we waited 4 more weeks. We have a bye this week then it would take the 3 straight losses.

$3M wasn’t worth waiting

That tells me Petrino isn't your admin's first target. Hmm... Lashlee is my guess.

I’m sure it was a tremendous relief to get away from all that pressure. Now he can relax at his house on the lake.

Pfft.

I’m old enough to remember the scandalous headlines when we paid a Jackie $1 million (over 4 years).

We have a history of being a head of our time. Soon, everybody will be drawing up unconditional contracts for 9 figures written up by desperate alumni and punctuating them with blank trophies and custom boots.

Good lord, that period raised hubris and idiocy to a whole new level.

The AD should have been fired on the spot. That's the real issue.

From what I understand he has a mitigation clause where he has to find work. But, he just wants to retire and has negotiated the buyout down to get rid of the mitigation clause. At least that is the rumor

Possibly the best OL Coach in College Football. Wonder if the buyout has any clauses about him taking non-HC positions at other schools. If so...maybe he would like to be a "consultant/analyst" for someone. Not that he will need the money, but I think with his personality he won't like sitting around and not working on something.

I don’t know why he would have negotiated in finding another job when he said this would be his last job.
