admin prob praying Mike can turn it around (get to a bowl) this season and they can keep him for next year when they have a brutal schedule and dump him then for less $$$

also FSU will be lower on the pecking order with jobs like UF, PSU, and potentially Auburn/LSU/Mich opening this year
 
This was always the likely scenario. You can't pay $100M just for him to leave, no matter how justified it is. He's got you completely bent over the barrel.

I also think there's a decent chance he's back next year. They can't afford $100M now, but that number isn't that much lower at the of the season. Here is FSU's 2026 schedule:

OOC Schedule:
At Alabama
Notre Dame
Central Arkansas
Florida

ACC Schedule
Clemson
NC State
UVA
SMU
At Miami
At Louisville
At Pitt
At Boston College

What coach is signing up for that? They're gonna trot this loser's corpse out there again in 2026 to have him be a human punching bag while they try to fund raise and after 2026 they'll save a ton of money when they fire him due to his buyout, many of the assistant deals running out, and they have front-loaded almost all their NIL deals (as many teams have), those will be off the books.

But this is a very, very, very slippery slope for FSU right now. When you signed up to give a total loser this much guaranteed money, you're in trouble. They are not Texas A&M. There is a very good chance this program slides totally into oblivion (if they're not already there?) for the next several years. There is no "correct" or good way to do this. No matter what they do, they're ****ed.

Hate to see it.

I just don’t see with Franklin out there how they don’t make the move only because you can get a real coach for probably half the market value. Maybe they wait for offseason to save the $8m and that pays for year 1 of Franklin but this team SUCKS lmao

On the Podcast I put a link to and I’ve heard elsewhere, they discuss the evaluation of private equity being involved and if they want to go down that path.

EL - OH - ******* - EL!!!!

Saudis, Qataris, Blackrock, etc…… JFC!

Mike really does have them bent over.

Also, anyone hoping Mike would take a discount and let them off with a buy out - Jimmy Sexton would never allow that to happen.

Or hoping there is evidence of him groping an intern.

Franklin is going to command, IMO, $11-13 million a year and that doesn’t include the staff salaries.

I don’t see how they can afford Franklin and Norvell buy out unless they find a Nigerian uncle with $100 million for free or a Saudi/Qatari prince with access to oil money.
