Here I am.
I don't care what the admin is feeding publicly. A lot of them know Al sucks a bag of *** and there's a few reasons he is not fired now and hoping to coach linebackers at Purdue.
1. Money. His buyout is 7-8 million dollars and I have been told it's 8. Let me make it perfectly clear that the school has the money and more to burn. They just don't want to spend it.
I don't know you, so I don't know if you're trolling or from the WEZ. But, I have been told by more than one source very close to the program that it's nowhere near 7 or 8 million dollars. I've consistently been told the same number since even before the termination heat began. Totally possible for those guys to be wrong. They have been before.
Personally, I hope your number is wrong. For a number of reasons. Not the least of which it shows an absurdity in UM contracting. An 8 million dollar buyout on a 2+ million coach who had never won a meaningful game and ****ed off a lot of people with his PSU stunt? No bueno.
I am not trolling and I've never been to the WEZ.
I've been told it's 8 million or at its lowest 7 million.
I certainly hope I'm wrong. I was originally told it was 3.5 million before so I've already been wrong on this topic. But as far as huge buyouts on coaches, we just saw Colorado State benefit from having a huge buyout in place for their coach at 7.5 million.
If I'm wrong, I'll gladly admit it.
