The question is who would take over on the staff? I just do not see anyone on that staff getting another win or two out of them this year. So I am not sure what the point is. They won't be able to make a splash hire that will bump this years recruiting. So save the 5 mill, get the right coach at end of year, and poach the portal.

Would Diaz be cheap? Just signed a new contract until 2031.

It'd be a dream for him to go to FSU, they'd be irrelevant to us.

I know that there are egos and old school ties but I think he would be foolish to leave Duke.

He can go 7-4 with an occasional better year and be celebrated there. I would much rather live in the triangle than Tally. Better recruiting area. Some smart people money.

I am assuming they would offer him more money but I don't see how they can afford for it to be anywhere in the upper echelons of P4 salaries.

If I were him, I would sit tight because he has a nice career in the works there.

If he continues to do well, there will be better opportunities in his future.

they owe him $51M -- and apparently that only drops to about $46M once the season ends.

So the savings is relatively “minimal” (in the grand scheme). Might as well fire him now.

What will be interesting is who they have to settle on. That will be dependent in part on what other jobs come available

The buyout is 85% of remaining salary. It drops weekly, and the reason it drops is because that money was paid as salary. All they’d save is 15% of mikes game checks for 2026.

$10,000,000/season / 12games/season = ~ 833k/game * .15 = $125,000/game savings on Norvell. That includes no expenses for having to pay the interim HC an escalator in salary.

It seems budget neutral enough that if they can afford it at all, they can afford it now.
