re: Reminder: Avery makes $2.9 million per year.

I really don’t understand the buyouts. It’s not like the NBA or basketball blue bloods come poaching coaches from Bama. We may not be a hoops blue blood, but we’re not a damn mid major either. We pay well, it’s a good league, you can win here and make some deep runs in the Dance occasionally. Coleman needs some work but it’s not a shithole. It’s just stupid to give buyouts like that because it only protects the coach, not Alabama. It makes them virtually unfireable until it’s way past time. Grant was kept 2 years too long and almost a third because of a dumbass buyout.
Hell, I wish we had the problem of worrying about someone stealing our coach. That would mean he built something pretty damn special in Tuscaloosa.
