Jurich doesnt believe in buyouts. The BOT wouldnt like him. Below is a 2013 Louisville article, when he wrote in a 5 mill buyout for Strong if he left.
LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- For University of Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich, "buyout" has always been a bad word.
He didn't believe in buyouts, didn't want them, had little use for them.
If a coach didn't want to be at U of L, Jurich didn't want to hold him or her against his will. If it took a contract clause to keep somebody, he'd rather go find someone who wanted to be there.
Steve Kragthorpe asked for a modest buyout in a reworked deal. Bobby Petrino supposedly did the same in a long-term deal he broke the season after it was signed.
But when it came to reworking Charlie Strong's U of L contract over the past two months, it was Jurich who hammered home the buyout.
