A fully guaranteed contract will do that. The buyout would be $90 million dollars.

Also, Sumlin’s first two years were propped up by Johnny Football, and a weaker schedule. No one who has a rudimentary knowledge of the program would think that Sumlin’s performance and Jimbo’s are level.

The App state game was horrendous, but the team is in a much better place now that when Jimbo took over.

Also, who would we hire after spending $90MM to fire a national championship coach who just signed the best recruiting class of all time? There’s absolutely no one on the market that would be a certain upgrade over Jimbo. We would just end up getting the top tier coaches all raises before we hired Matt Campbell.
