I think it's a good hire. He is not a HC but he is a good OC

I think you are wrong on that. I don't think that Auburn has to foot your bill for anything in that regard. He is free at this point. Why would Auburn have to pay "anything" given that we just hired a free man/coach that was unwillingly let go from another job. Arkansas decided to part ways with their current 2019 Coach. Auburn has nothing to negotiate in hiring a "former and separated" member of your staff. "You" fired him with a contract remaining. Auburn owes no one anything extra other than offering Morris a new job.
Jesus Christ man it’s not that hard.
Arkansas fired Morris and owe him his buyout. However, there’s a clause that says he must look for work to offset that buyout. We hire him and pay Morris whatever salary he negotiates. Due to that clause, the amount of money Arkansas pays Morris is reduced by the amount Auburn is paying him.
Auburn is not payin Arkansas anything but we are reducing the buyout Arkansas owes Morris.
You ask questions but then refute everybody that gives you the answer

Doesn't matter, Morris is a good coordinator, him and Gus will do well together, AU was hiring one regardless, it's just Hog fans trying to save face from the abomination their program has become.

Holy shite. From that thread:
"Morris Auburn intro pic shows him in full Auburn attire with an Auburn headset on, like he's calling plays innan Auburn game. I think he was intentionally trying to help Gus by torpedoing our program.
We don't need to ever let anyone with any connection to Gus malzahn near our program ever, ever again... Not high freeze, not Eli Drinkwitz, not Rhett Lashlee either. They cannot be trusted."

Buyouts are reduced if fired coach takes an equal title usually. We have to pay Luke’s full buyout after he got OL job at Georgia

I have refuted answers only because I was not offered concrete evidence. Only message board speculations.
That is why I asked the initial question.
Thank you for your respective replies.

On that note, I too think that Arkansas has made yet another desperate and horrible mistake.
But that is on them. Auburn has no infatuation with that program either way.

That thread is really something.
According to them, Auburn is placing spies into their program and that is the sole reason that they have been unable to succeed in the SEC since 1992.
Auburn somehow just really "hates" Arkansas according to their minds and mentality.
Auburn is their answer for everything negative historically.
Have some dignity and look inward Fayetteville. The answers are in your own City and Program, not 700 miles away in Alabama.

Well of course they did. They hired a guy that is about to collect social security, is overweight, and has no head coaching/coordinator experience. Should be fun to watch.

It will be entertaining for a couple of months, but eventually the SEC is going to have to pay for Arkansas' mistakes.
They are going to be bottom-feeders that suck money from the more successful SEC programs by not having a decent Football and overall Athletic Program.
I don't think that these stupid and desperate hires by teams like Arkansas are amusing when it comes to the overall health of the SEC.
The "more successful" programs in this Conference could use some help in the future.
Ole Miss REALLY stepped up recently in that regard. Very nice job by them!

They have baseball, track, and probably basketball again, they aren't bottom feeders. Sure, they blow at football now, but they aren't a threat to be a drain on SEC revenue.

Perhaps so, but getting on par in Education would go a long way for them too.
Track and Baseball are not very memorable accomplishments if your whole University ruins it each and every year by neglecting the real money-making sports.
They really need to give it their all soon, or they need to downgrade and leave the SEC.
Their fans are already questioning a move back to the Big-12.
I don't think that this would be a bad option for both parties going forward, honestly.

That is not a hook my friend.
That is reality hitting you in the face.
Your whole University needs to quit embarrassing the SEC with your desperate decisions.
You guys have done this and failed continuously since joining in 1992 and the SEC has had to share its Money with you for very little return on investment.

quote:I don't think this is right. Contracts usually refer to a coaching job and buyouts are involved either way. Alabama is paying pennies in hiring them as an analyst, not a coach, circumventing the wording of the contract. I think once Auburn hired Morris as a coach, Arkansas didn't have to pay him at all, no matter the amount Auburn hired him for. In fact, Auburn may have had to pay Arkansas some form of buyout, I don't know.
That’s how 95% of these contracts are structured
Look back at Les Miles. He was owed a lot of $ but Kansas couldn't afford to pay the buyout, so he settled with LSU over his salary so that Kansas could afford to hire him.
There has to be much more to it than simply a difference in pay.

Isn't this what led to an issue with Bert? I thought I remembered them claiming he was not seeking work in a good faith manner with the job he got with the Pats.

Now we are seeing what this poster was really melting about.
Why make yourself look so ignorant just so you can say you hate us?
This is sad.
