Your Cadillac has a wheel in the ditch

The buyout is so cheap. This is a nice incentive for him to win and be rewarded each year or he will get his ass fired quick. A $10 million buyout for a contract that large is pretty laughable, relatively speaking.

I could be off base here but I believe the 10 million buyout is what someone would owe Alabama to poach DeBoer. If Alabama fires him they owe him 12+ million, times however many years are left on the deal. He got a 2 million dollar raise per year for going 20-8. A crazy thought for blue blood Alabama. That’s the crux of Yellas admonishment. Worse yet, Fruit Snacks at Nebraska panicked and gave Rhule a big raise and extension for going .500 in his three years.

Somehow after last seasons coaching carousel Chum managed to keep a cool head and let Judds contract ride. Impressive really. If he goes 10-2 this season he’ll have earned a fat raise. If they go 8-4 again, he’ll be earning exactly what he’s producing. Average numbers.
 
Bama is unencumbered by the raw feelings here. They look at the totality of his record and how he followed a legend. They see the only coach to win playoff games at two schools. They know what he did here and unlike Washington are willing to pay precisely because most coaches suck

Fisch didn't get the offers he wanted elsewhere. Why would he get a raise here for being average and beating up cupcakes?

Now in year 3. Playoffs or get the fuck out for both

I'd go long on DeBoer and short Fisch

We'll see.

I didn’t say Judd deserved a raise. Don’t twist. I was complementing Chum for not overreacting to coaching rumors like Fruit Snacks did at Nebraska and giving Fish a raise for winning 8 games.

My Bama guy at work is willing to give Boner another year, kinda likes him, but getting beat by 35 in the playoffs and losing four games a year “ain’t Bama football” and according to him didn't require a raise in pay just yet. I could be wrong but Boner didn’t take the Michigan or Pedo job and he is under contract. I’d of let it play out for another year if I were Byrne. The two are tied together come what may now. No going back.
 
I didn't say you didn't didn't say Fisch deserved a raise. I said he didn't lol

If Fisch could get a playoff with 3 losses including the CCG and then got 4 in the playoffs even I'd give him a raise

I get the whole we're Bama thing. Wish Washington had it. I think because they're Bama they want to keep him until they don't

It was a long spell from Bear to Saban with only a Stallings natty to show for it

If they have a guy that can follow Saban...

“I didn't say you didn't didn't say Fisch deserved a raise. I said he didn't lol”

I had to read this a couple times. I’m still reeling.

I think you're right about the buyout. I had a feeling I was completely spacing out on some aspect of that money amount.

Pretty fair to criticize 'Bama based upon results on the field so far. He did not earn that raise. Not sure what they're worried about.
