FACTS. Kids still wanted to play for the U. No one wants to play for the Noles at this point.

Imagine what Shalala, Frenk and Blake James would have done if we had a 60M obligation in guaranteed coaching salaries. In that case, yes, we very well could have been worse off. But we owed Golden only a few million (and even then UM BOD belly ached about it) so were able to go grab Mark Richt. FSU in their wildest wet dreams will not be able to attract anyone remotely close to Richt for several years.

MR could have set us back a long ways if he wasn’t as generous as he was giving back the money that was owed. We’d of been looking at HS coaches .

He retired. You don’t pay someone the remainder of their contract when they resign. Did he give the school back the money he was paid during his last season?

Depends on the wording of the contract. If you hire a 90 year old and there is "retirement" offset language, sure.

But I think with Richt we did not anticipate that, thus his "giveback" of the remaining two years was voluntary and generous.

That is a bit different from the concept that if he had been REQUIRED to step down early over a health issue, then the rest of the contract paid out to him would likely have been covered by insurance.

He has generational wealth. I got your point about compromising on the buyout to walk away. But 25% of 60M is 15M. Why give that up. It is guaranteed unless he pulls a Michigan HC or something similar or worse.

Off Topic, but these contracts are killing programs left and right. Imagine if Lane starts off slow at LSU. Matt Campbell was 72-55 overall and 50-40 in conference at Iowa State. Imagine if he does that at Penn State. They are a dead program for 10 years.. FSU is just leading the way where others will follow ... One can only hope.

Ill just say is it worth it?
You had a good year, your name is out there in the books.
He's like the leader of Kodak when they thought camera phones were a fad. He could regain good graces by doing that.
I also get your point he's not working very hard now and getting full pop.

Mark Richt is one of the few genuine people of this earth. He gave back the contract extension when 99.9% of people would’ve told Miami to go **** themselves
