re: If LSU beats Bama, will Coach O have earned his ginormous buyout?

$8M+ for Ed's buyout isn't massive?

i mean it's massive in the sense that it's 8 million more than what it should be, but as someone else posted it's not out of the ballpark for SEC coaches and in fact is on the low end

$8M+ for Ed's buyout isn't massive? Compare it to what Mizzou's buyout is for their coach who was similarly in low demand.

His buyout ranks 31st on this list and doesnt include everyone's buyout:

Also, keep in mind that's at the end of his first season, buyouts go DOWN over the course of a contract. Odom's buyout is smaller but is also at the END of the 2nd year of his contract, not his 1st year, as well as him being at Mizzou, which is going to pay less as it is being Mizzou (he makes over $1.1M a year less salary than Orgeron). After the fiasco they had, nobody wanted to go there.
