re: Dan Mullen's buyout is $12 million a year for the life of his current contract?

The buyout always has a clause that future earnings will deduct whatever buyout costs are.

I think people are suffering from premature cooachitis.

What I expect is wholesale staff changes for Mullen to remain the HC, Mullen will be given the order to hire asst coaches who can really recruit. Smart and Saban dont go knocking on doors...they just have top notch ataff do the ground work for them. UF has to open up the purse strings to let Mullen delegate the staff. They went cheap to hire the QB coach for prime example.
