We’ll all get to see Jimbos buyout in 2 more years


Jimbo is overpaid, but I don't get the hate.

One of these that you posted is much different than the others and does not belong in the same presence

 did do a good job. I just dwant NT is nderstanf extending a coach with multiple years in his contract when no one is trying to hire him away. Why no t wait and see what he does next two seasons. What if he goes 8-5 or 9-4 now you’ve promised yourself a larger buyout likely if you decide to fire him. Saban is almost at the age where I wouldn’t expect much more extensions for him even if he manages to win another national title.


That's an argument I've posed before.

I can also see the other side. If you want your guy to go out and battle for top recruits, you gotta extend some good faith. Contract extensions for good work, pay raises for great work.

Ed may never get LSU into the playoff, but if he continues to recruit well, the next guy will be well set up.

I don’t know what his buyout is, but I honestly think contract extensions are for recruiting purposes for the most part. Kinda gives players a little reassurance that their future head coach is gonna be there and so other coaches can’t negative recruit on it. Just a guess on my part though.

Mullen guided Florida to a top 10 finish too. We haven't offered him an extension (yet).

Mullen has MUCH more upside and knows how to coach. Coach O is running off of talent and that's basically it.
