9-3 (9-4 w/ bowl loss) = 1 year extension. No raise. No additional buyout.
9-3 (10-3 w/ bowl win) = 2 year extension. No raise. Additional $2.5 mil/year buyout. So it would still cost $10 mil to buy him out after next year.
10-2 = 2 year extension. Tiny raise ($100-200K). Fully guaranteed but drop the payable in 60 days clause. The buyout would still be payable over the life of the deal.

frick an extension. he's already lost two games this year, one we should have won by 3 touchdowns. the only reward he should get is being allowed to coach another season under his already negotiated contract.

we hold all the cards, nobody on our level is going to hire his arse. he's proven that he can't develop talent, can't outwit coaches with similar talent, can't instill discipline, but he's ok at recruiting.

Agreed. His agent has far less to work with this time so if he tries to pull a “he’s going to the NFL” move we will call that bluff. Don’t get me wrong, if we fire sumlin he can easily have a job in a power 5 conference next year if he wants it, someone will take a guy who has no losing seasons at A&M. But it won’t be a big football school, and it certainly won’t be at 5 million a year. I would think somewhere in the PAC-12 would be good for him like an Arizona St or similar.

If he does get to 9 or 10 wins, sure give him a one or two year extension, but no increase to the buyout, no increase to the base salary, instead add performance incentives. Top 25 finish adds 250K, sec champ appearance is 250k, winning it is 500k, stuff like that.
