quote:Gustav's buyout is $7 million.
They can’t pay 20 plus million for Gus’ buyout
quote:But that would get us off the hook for the $20+ million we would owe him if we were to terminate him in the next two or three years. Might be worth it in the long run.
The only stupid move would be for our AD to negotiate the buyout down to help Gus leave
I've reached the point where I've come to expect Gustav to go 8-5 pretty much every year, with the occasional chance to win 10 games. If that's what we're stuck with, well, it could be worse. But with Jimmy Sexton as his agent, we will eventually be faced with the decision to continue to pay top dollar for that performance, with the threat that our recruiting will deteriorate if we don't extend his deal.
THAT'S when things will get interesting.

To hell with any dealings with Jimmy Sexton.
I'd tell Gus (or whomever) their price/worth drops every time I hear his name. The guy is a piranha on college sports and the sooner it cost coaches money for signing with him the better for the game. And it needs to come from the NCAA head office under the guise leveling the playing field. Something like a collegiate coach can't draw over a certain percentage of gross per institution.
Why should a coach or agent not be shackled financially when all the other participants are?
