His buyout is down to $35m if im reading his contract right, and half would be payable immediately with the other half paid out in four annual installments of 4.375m.
It's alot, but doable for Auburn at this point, so I think 8-4 gets him canned, especially if some other hotshit coach is on the market.
Eta- as another said, if those four losses are respectable and the recruiting class is shaping up top ten, he could survive it.
It would be a whole lot more affordable to wait another year to fire him.

$35m is a lot to payout for an 8-4 season. If he loses to Arkansas and/or Ole Miss then it may be a different story, but I don't see Auburn shelling out that kind of money for losing to the four best teams in the conference and no one else.

8-4 won’t get him fired with that buyout.
And Auburn has probably the toughest schedule in the country. Oregon OOC, UF and UGA from the East. Even Tulane is a pretty good opponent.

The remaining value of his contract is indeed $35M, but his buyout is 75% of that remaining value, so he would be owed $26,625,000. Still outrageous, but not the amount it would have been if we had been foolish enough to guarantee 100% of his remaining salary.
Nobody's that short-sighted.
