Sing while you can, my friend. :thumb: FWIW, the 4M for the old FB coach doesn't apply anymore. He's found other employment. Unlike some schools, we don't tend to keep old coaches on payroll for years. :wink:
And let's not forget what the LSU girl's basketball team did to Bama recently. Talk about a drubbing.
But you didn't know he was going to get that job when you agreed to give him $4M to go away did you?:dis: Assuming you are right, it's a good thing you don't keep old coaches on the payroll or you would be mailing a lot of checks every month
That specific job, no. A job, yes. It was structured in his buyout that he had to be actively seeking employment or he would default on his contract. So, in essence, I knew he would end up getting a job. Daddy Don and his influence in getting MS an interview with the Dolphins had a lot to do with the way the buyout was written.
My understanding that the agents cut a deal and Shula got his money regardless. The buy out was part of the problem in November when Saban entered the picture, Shula insisted on his money - walk away, fired or whatever. At least that is what we hear in Memphis.
