No offense, but this seems like something that a person with no first-hand experience with high-wealth individuals, large numbers or knowledge of how comp plans are supposed to work would say.

If you don’t think that he is motivated by money, then why did we offer him so much money??

And I never said he doesn’t work a lot of hours. I implied that he doesn’t really feel threatened by being fired because he loses very little, aside from pride, which $30MM has been rumored to cure.

Because Sexton asked for it and he got it?

Because we had a guy negotiating a contract that doesn’t understand negotiating with college coaches and their agent?

Because he beat two #1 teams in a row and had all the leverage at the time?

Did you mean to ask another question? There’s a bunch of reasons why it happened and everyone is pretty pissed about it

Jones was talking about successful people, not trust fund kids or when 'daddy' gave you a corner office to start your career

You clearly don't know many people who were 'self-made' successful then. They'll talk about how the buyout/severance was great, but being fired absolutely eats them alive.
