[QUOTE="Techster, post: 217306, member: 360"] CPH's contract auto renewing meant GT had ZERO option in letting the buyout automatically work its way down like most every contract out there. GT could have had 3 options: 1. Renew for a total term of 4 years (as you said, for recruiting optics). This is still a 4 year buyout at most versus a 6 year buyout. Simple math here, but a 4 year buyout is better than paying for 6 years. Applying it to today, GT would be sitting here with CBG's buyout and not both Ex coaches. 2. Not renew until it was clear CPH had the program headed in the right direction (see Paul Johnson's contract situation before 2014 season, and Brian Gregory this year). This had the added benefit of letting the buyout naturally work its way down. 3. Leverage an extension for recruiting optics (refer to point 1) with a lower buyout. CPH would probably not have done it, but GT would have had the leverage to demand it. Because the contract auto renewed which for all intents and purposes became a "lifetime" 6 year contract unless GT cut the cord, there was never an option palatable to GT's. We just had to swallow the turd of a contract and pay all 6 years. That was GT's only option outside of the nuclear option of keeping CPH until he wanted to leave. [/QUOTE]
