Bert should be gone, but anything around .500 and he stays. They can't afford his buyout that Jeff Long stupidly gave him. Unless they get dirt on him and can fire him for cause, they've got Bert for a few more years.

This is probably true. His fat arse deserves to be fired. I think we as hog fans have been overly gracious with our patience. Its over for him here. He has lost the fans. He will undoubtly pull out some upsets out of his arse, but it will not change my opinion he isn't the man for this job.

Ya'll Burt's buyout is like 18 million or 15 or something stupid well over 10.
He's not going anywhere.

Without sounding like one of those "our AD has soooo much money" guys, the buyout is easily afforded and will be paid if we should really REALLY tank this season (which I'm still not sure we will, see our recent history).
What a lot of people don't realize - including a lot of Hog fans - is that his buyout is structured where our AD can pay it out all at once OR over several years, I think up to 5. His new salary, should he take a new HC position, also offsets the buyout. You're talking $3mm / year over 5 years to make him go away (assuming he doesn't take a new position in that time frame), which isn't chump change by any means but is easily offset by renewed fan enthusiasm and some deep pocketed donors.
Compare this to someone like Sumlin's buyout that has to be paid in full within 60 days and it doesn't look nearly as bad on paper as it's made out to be; still a huge mistake by Long to put us on the hook for THAT much.
