[QUOTE="Mandingo Finkelstein, post: 1147374, member: 8763"] Thinking out loud and kinda random perhaps I admit, but one thing I've been wondering about lately is buyout clauses for assistant coaches. Now that key assistants and particularly associate head coaches and/or OC's/DC's are getting paid multiple millions in some cases, are buyout clauses instituted in their contracts similar to what we see with head coaches? And it goes both ways just like with head coaches. Meaning, if the head coach leaves voluntarily he or his new employer has to pay the institution he's leaving the buyout amount. (btw, did we EVER receive money from O'Leary's buyout from him or Notre Dame???) Or, the head coach (hello Brian Kelly and many others) gets a huge sum for firing him. I think of did Tech have a buyout clause with Faulkner, Santucci, or Gideon? If so, are we or did we cash in? If you're a G6 program and the coordinator is making 200 grand, it might not be worth the trouble to attract someone good knowing their career goal is to leave ASAP. But, when you are paying a coordinator $1M+ at a P4, seems prudent to include it in the contract for some level of reimbursement if/when they leave. I don't know how prevalent this is. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ [/QUOTE]
