Josh Heupel will receive a six-year contract that pays him $4 million annually. The MOU includes clauses related to potential NCAA punishments.

The contract includes a clause that would add a seventh year to the contract if Tennessee faces NCAA punishments in the form of a postseason ban of two or more years and/or a scholarship reduction of eight or more.

That’s a loooong time to give an unproven head coach.

I know it has been 14 years now since Saban got 8 years and $32 million, but these contracts for coaches with little to no track record seem insane.

I guess LSU is to blame for these ridiculous contracts
LSU paid Saban $1 million and nothing has been the same since.
The buyouts are the sticking point that needs to change.
Most of these coaches can find other employment after being fired. It's time to rein in the buyouts.

Nobody was touching this steaming pile of shite without time to work through the sanctions, but 6 years?

When you are facing serious sanctions, you have to over pay for anyone you get.

Holy shite...I saw elsewhere they are paying another $6mil to buy out white and heupel. Plus who knows what the hell will happen with the Pruitt lawsuit. This is just hilarious.

Just saw where Fitzgerald & Northwestern are finalizing a 10 year contract extension through 2030. Holy cow ...

I'd have guided them through probation and lost a ton of games for 10% of that. Suckers.

I'd rather hire Jim Leonhard for $2.5-3 million per year if possible.
