I knew it. I made a thread about a guy I know saying his buyout could be as high as $8 million and it has everyone on the edge about what to do. Also being said that the buyout has a significant drop off after this year which is why they want to wait until after next year. My "source" was not 100% on all this but he definitely has some people he talks to that seem to believe that is the issue
 
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.

2. Board of Trustees. Golden still has key supporters on the Board. Their reason for liking him isn't because of potential football reasons, but for public relations purposes and such of that nature. On top of that, there are plenty of Board members who either don't know what football means to the school or just don't care about football in general. Therefore, anything involving 8 million dollar spending better be massively important for academics. There are quite a few Board members who feel exactly like we all do: That Golden is a Jersey hack that couldn't coach the 2001 Hurricanes to a Big East title. Their vehemence is directly related to his lies/excuses and Penn State-gate has not been forgotten or forgiven. Even his most ardent supporters haven't forgotten about it.

3. APR and Graduation Rates. Golden has some of the best in the business. That is worth some leeway to many because they think that'll be attractive to recruits. That's there stupid mistake.

4. Last Year. The school had record braking season ticket sales. While those statistics were skewed because of the UNC/FSU package deal, it appeared that we had stimulated interest in the football team where attendance and revenue was about to swing up. Golden was given a lot of credit for that. They still are cautiously expectant for similar sales and the potential replication of money that could bring.

5. The Cloud. A lot of decision makers are woefully unaware about the Cloud and how important of a role it played. They think he was pulling in talent while up against almost impossible circumstances. Giving Golden another year could result in a team of talent that can just overwhelm teams ala the early Coker years. Once again, that's their own ignorance.

6. The Fans. A lot of the admin don't think the fans and boosters will exodus out. They think it's a bluff and they're calling it. That's going to be their downfall.

7. General Indifference from the admin, students, and fans. Self-explanatory.

He's not getting fired this year. A bowl loss to anybody and a 6-7 final record doesn't change that. But efforts are being made for him to coach somewhere else.

That's a good portion of what information I've got for you. I'll share more when I can.

@pb5cane: I CAN'T BE SHUT DOWN.

APR was great before be got here. Second, 30% of Folden's recruits are no longer on the team.

As far as APR goes, that's true but they are happier with the Golden's face on that accomplishment.

They will not look into that fact and do not care tremendously.


A WHITE Face? I got it. :11263308176_542fcfb

Paying 7-8 mil this year vs paying what 6-7 next year when they will have to fire him. Stupid move and not in anyway a smart business decision.

Hiring the right HC could get the fan base excited and put butts in the seats.
 
In my defense, I was originally told that his buyout was much lower and that 7-5 was going to put him in jeopardy because the expectations this season were built so high. I was wrong. I'm sorry. Other than that miss, I've been right on everything else so far.

The students were tasked with finding names while the supervisors decided which ones made the cut. We were all upperclassmen and we were hardly running the show.

You've literally explained this dozens of times, and people just can't seem to comprehend it. Having a group of students research names and throw them into a hat, really isn't doing much.
Also saying going 7-5 puts him in jeopardy still isn't wrong. He is in jeopardy. He still isn't getting fired, but that doesn't mean the BOT wasn't at least considering firing him, whereas a 8-9+ record they might not have even considered it (Still stupid).
You did say buyout was $8M, but I'm pretty sure in another thread you also confirmed that it does depend on how many years we pay it over, and that there were ways to reduce it, and seeing how everyone else is saying its around $3M, maybe there is a way to make it that amount.
But If it was just a $3M buyout, I doubt the BOT would use that as a reason for not firing him.
Thanks for all your info. Keep posting it when you get it, even if some don't believe you or whatever.

So where do we go from here?

The best bit I can tell you is this isn't over yet.

Let's see. I'm really hoping we don't have to go through a God **** lame duck season just like Florida did with Muschamp. I don't want that. I know that the cost of getting rid of Al now is high, but it will pay off long term!

I think that is the unfortunate reality of the situation. I just hope it is worth the wait when they finally pull the trigger. If they wait until next year and then hire Mario I am done.

The last 4 seasons have been lame duck seasons. **** it, his entire life has been.
 
With a buyout of 8 million, no one is getting Golden from us.

All this thread says is that the buyout that UM would owe Golden is 8 Million - I haven't seen it said that it is the other way around (that Golden or another school would owe Miami that). At the time of the extension, Miami desperately was trying to hold on to Golden, so they could have agreed to buyout terms that were extremely in Golden's favor as he had the leverage and apparently our AD at the time was continuing a trend of giving extensions to coaches that no other teams wanted.

No idea if the 8 million is true, but whatever it is, it's not necessarily the same dollar amount depending on who is the one breaking the contract. Also, as others mentioned, I am sure the school would be willing to negotiate down his buyout. ****, if they were smart, they would supplement his salary for another school to get rid of him.
