With the transfer portal and NIL the window for coaches to find their groove has shortened considerably.
Some of these buyouts are rather sickening. Like is it really that important to lock up a James Franklin or a Brian Kelly? Or a Jedd Fisch, who’s had one good season and has like a $33 million buyout? It’s not like any of them are Nick Saban.
Then of course you have Foster, who couldn’t get a community college job as a head coach, getting a multimillion dollar buyout. If they had given Foster a $150 buyout and free shoes he’d have taken the job.
This is why I hope we end up with a lower FBS coach we can get for a reasonable price/exposure.
