1. wrong.

they won’t net much after the legal fees given he was a TE/ST coach

3. and wrong.
Regarding 1, it's no precedent for an employer to sue an employee for branch of contract when said employee owed the employer $300,000. That's standard. It's odd that Coach Banks won't pay it. It's clear and explicit. There is simply no room for interpretation.
Regarding 2, they won't pay close to 300K on legal fees. This is an easy case.
Regarding 3, Chavis claimed that he did not resign and was thus still a coach the relevant date. Bank is making no such claim.

So are we assuming Jimbo wanted to retain Banks? Lot of loopholes in Texas law if the employer “allowed” Banks to leave.

Alabama or the coach should go ahead and pay.
In Texas, a party who successfully enforces the terms of a breached contract is entitled to an additional award of reasonable and necessary attorney’s fees. Failure of a court to award attorney’s fees or failure to instruct a jury to do so is an abuse of discretion.

It sounds like the buyout operates as a liquidated damages clause. So, I disagree.

Correct. They will pay $0.00 if successful. Bama or that coach will pay the attorney's fees.
