My understanding is the coaches who are fired usually have an obligation to look for a job, the salary of which goes toward the buyout. If Sumlin goes to ASU for $5M, the Aggies are basically off the hook. We know Sumlin is a good coach even though we hate him. A great coach, nah, but a good coach. He will work again.Graham will work again as too many openings with no sure-fire hires roaming around to be snatched up. The coaching carousel will be spinning these next few weeks, especially with the new early-signing period.

Not according to this: “With a little more than two years left on the deal, Sumlin is owed more than $10 million. What’s more, there’s no clause in the contract allowing A&M to reduce what it owes Sumlin if he gets a new job at a new school.”

Sumlin is owed the $10M within 60 days.

When you only have to split state oil money two ways, you can afford to make very bad financial choices and not hurt your program’s athletic budget.

Facially, that actually kind of looks like him.
