A buyout is what the coach pays the school if he leaves for another school.
A payoff is what the school pays a coach they run off.
Correct.

Going back to his original deal, Saban's buyout has always been $0

HIs payoff has always been the full amount still owed him under his current contract (currently somewhere in the neighborhood of $55,000,000).

I remember when Bama set that deal up. I was sure they were going to regret it big time, when Saban either a) failed to live up to their ridiculous expectations or 2) walked away for even more money to another school.

I was dead wrong.

Well he was a WR. And what position do you think Damyeune Craig played? Trooper Taylor? You realize you don't have to coach the position you played.

How else do you lure him away from Arizona State?

you have obviously missed WHY you have a buyout.

It's not to protect the coach from you firing them.



Um, no. It is utterly impossible for you to be more wrong.

The point of a buyout can be to protect either the coach or the university. When the coach must pay to get out of the contract, it serves to protect the university. For example, assuming reports are correct, it would cost Petrino $10 mil to leave for Auburn. When Texas fires Charlie Strong, it would cost Nick Saban $0 to Alabama.

When the contract dictates that the coach is owed a certain amount should he be fired without cause, that buyout is in place to protect THE COACH.

Nick Saban's contract gives him the freedom to take another job at any time and neither he nor the program that hires him will owe Alabama anything. He just packs up his stuff and leaves. On the other hand, he could go 0-12 for the next two years straight and if Alabama decided to fire him they would owe him whatever is left on his contract.

Well technically he played wr but he was a starting sec quarterback


Watching GUS is like reading the book animal farm. He despised Houston nutt only to slowly become him once given power. Lazy recruiting. Offensive stubbornness. Giving jobs go his friends and pals. We all know how that book ends.


Actually I forgot how does it end

Dammit, I hate you for making that analogy.

Now I'll never watch AU football or read the book again without conflating the two

Kind of appropriate, when you think about it
