re: More Details Emerging on O's buyout

Ahh, okay. But that quoted clause —whether in the original contract or the separation agreement— doesn’t prohibit O from coaching anywhere else. Any such prohibition would be in a non-compete type clause.

Again, I haven’t seen the separation agreement, but it is reported to only prohibit employment as a Head Coach, in the SEC, for 18 months. Not, as you said, “They basically said we give you the buyout money but you’re not going to coach anywhere for 4 years.”
