Willie Taggarts Salary and Buyout

[Dogma]

Taggart's USF salary was 1.8 million a year (5-year for $9 million)

 

A positive:

Terms of the contract call for him to pay USF a $1.7 million buyout, which the Bulls could use to pay off former football coach Skip Holtz (owed $500,000 a year through Dec. 31, 2017) and ex-men's basketball coach Stan Heath (owed $375,000 annually through April 2018).

Finally, we will be done with that guy.

after we pay off those dudes, what will we do with the extra $$$?

Could use it for one hell of a going away party for Willie!

I believe that was in reference to awe-shucks Skippy.

plus the $1.7M they pay us

 

he essentially coached for free this year

 

much better than having to pay a guy an extra $2.5M not to coach

Twice today I've seen reflected that Willie owes the money, example:

"According to Taggart's buyout with USF, he will owe the school $1.7 million."

I guess that's just poor choice of words, but I've seen it twice.  I think Oregon pays this.  Weird way to report.
