Contract buyout question

[HOUCajun]

Napier left in 4 years (but could have been 2 or 3) because of a) his pedigree and b) his extreme success while here. People that have both are few and far between. I expect most successful coaches will be here 5-8 years in the future.

I don’t know about that. Remember when stAte lost coaches 3-4 years in a row? If Napier does well at UF, I could see us losing a couple coaches very quickly assuming they produce wins

If it's not recurring money, only a fool would spend it on recurring expenses.

Sort of like our State government!!!

Thanks for the clarification.

If you stay successful yes, then only if you spread it out over 4 years.

So using a portion of the idle money on a guaranteed return on investment becomes prudent.

Guaranteed return on investment? Maybe you think you’re peddling ‘Hadacol’ to a bunch of arthritic folks. There’s no guarantee in sports unless you’re Joe Namath.

What is the cost of Marlin's buyout now and after the season?

[CajunEXPRESS]

Someone said $100K

Quick guarantee.

Use the football money to buy out Marlin, offer the next coach $400k. There sits your money back guarantee.

pays for itself.

Offer the next coach $300k, double the investment.

Either way, renewed interest makes even more money.

Napier might have screwed the pooch on Big Fish’s show . . .
