That says nothing about a buyout, focus, that is what you stated that the U would be paying him through 2019.
The board and the President have to sign off on any contracts. So there are plenty to fire that are still here. I guarantee you the buyout wouldn't be till 2019. That's just stupid.
Charlie Weis is still getting paid by Notre Dame (he made more from ND than Brian Kelly last year), you really thing Miami has some magical out from a guaranteed contract if they terminate Golden? It took them two years and a lawsuit to settle Randy Shannons contract after he was fired.
Best case scenario for Miami is either an agreed upon termination fee, or if Golden takes another job they reduce the payment by what his new deal is.
But it's absurd to think that Miami is financially getting out of a contract with Golden if they fire him, dude is getting paid either over time or in a lump sum. Simple as that.
LOL, who said that? You were the one flatly stating we were paying him to 2019 which is the really absurd comment.
