Firing coaches is expensive. However, most places it’s not as expensive as Auburn made it when the Tigers fired Bryan Harsin during the 2022 season, before he even made it two years on the job.
Auburn was far and away the leader in athletics department severance expenses, as shown on the NCAA revenues and expenses reports from all 15 current and future SEC schools, obtained by AL.com. As a private school, Vanderbilt’s numbers were not made public.
The Tigers spent $19.9 million on severance in FY 2023, which ran from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. That topped out the league, far outpacing second-place Texas, which came in at $5.4 million.
LSU came in third at $5 million spent. Alabama was well down the list, in 12th place among the 15 schools.
The Crimson Tide spent $998,286. UA was one spot ahead of Florida, which spent the least out of any school that paid out severance, at $246,504.
Two schools, Tennessee and South Carolina, didn’t pay any severance during the fiscal year.
------------------------
In football, it was more of the same. $18.6 million of Auburn’s total came from that sport alone.
It’s unlikely the Tigers will remain on the top of the dubious chart when the numbers for FY 2024 come around. Texas A&M fired Jimbo Fisher and will have to pay him more than $76 million overall.
In addition to Harsin, Auburn will still be paying Gus Malzahn who it fired in 2021, so it will still be high up in the rankings. The Aggies paid under a million in severance for FY 2023, but with the Fisher numbers going on the books next time around, they’ll likely lap the field.
For FY 2023, Texas was second in football severance payments, at $5.4 million. Ole Miss was third at $2.8 million, with Arkansas, Kentucky and Mississippi State also over $1 million.
The Bulldogs will likely rise for FY 2024, after firing former head coach Zach Arnett. MSU and Texas A&M were the only SEC teams to fire their football coaches after last season.
Alabama was 10th on the football severance list, spending $491,715 on it for FY 2023. In addition to Tennessee and South Carolina, LSU, Florida and Georgia didn’t spend any money for that category.

On the bright side, at least our financial burden won us a natty.

Auburn owed Gus and Harsin roughly $37 mil, combined.
That's less than half of what Jimbo has coming to him.
