I don't understand why this doesn't make sense to any of y'all. It appears to me that Gus is simply betting on himself. He knows this is it for him and he wants to win at the highest level, so he is willing to take a short term hit for the opportunity to turn this program around.
Love it or hate it, it seems pretty simple to me.

And here lies the problem with Gus. He really thinks he can win next season. Despite his offense being broken, despite us having the worst Oline in the league, despite our dline going to the NFL.
I hope he negotiated a clause along with his lower buyout that says he can't be fired until after next year because otherwise I don't see him making it through October.

because it's not normal at all for egomaniacs to give away something for free when that something (salary, buyout, etc.) is a primary way they feed their ego

If this has legs, I'm curious how much of a financial reduction he agreed to. I'd imagine the board low-balled him if the goal was to run him off. $32MM was the original buyout, with $15MM due in 30 days. Maybe a 50% discount to really piss him off?

I agree with this. And frankly, he should do this. Tells me he isn't greedy and genuinely wants to get it fixed. Considering he brought us to two nattys, I think that is reasonable for us to accept. We just had a 7-5 season, not a 3-9.
