Why don’t all universities have some sort of performance standards written into coaches contracts? Lots of schools paying millions on buyouts for people who sucked at their jobs. 

Not the business model in place and universities who have the cash have set the standard

Because that's the status quo and nobody will challenge it and the big brains think if they change away from guaranteed contracts nobody will ever hire a good coach.

It’s just insane. The universities have all the power over the coaches. If they all stopped with this guaranteed money crap what would the coaches do? They’d have to accept it or find a real job.

I’m sure FSU wishes they didn’t have to pay slick Willie 17 million.

Good lord. Guess we did not pay much the past two years.

That's kind of how I'm reading this too.  Just glad it's off the books in 2 years.  Yeah it's a lot of scratch, but you have to be willing to spend it.

That is alot of money.  And now we have to spend money on a new coaching staff.  We have to assume some big boosters had to have stepped up.  Thank you to those unnamed people.

This coaching decision has big financial implications too.  We have to get this one right.  We need to hit a homerun.

I read on one of the news sites reporting it not sure which one but the 5 mil is coming out of account USF has that has a 700 mil value. So USF isn’t really hurting for money like everyone suggest.

Then they have no excuse not to pry Nick Saban or Dabo Swinney away from their current jobs.
