We will never know that buyout. Doesn’t mean Goodman is wrong or right. I do tend to agree with you that 18m just seems completely unreasonable. My guess is that was the extension amount in total. But obviously a buyout after 2 years would be at most 12m and that would be paying the full amount which is unlikely. My completely non-insider guess would be our buyout is more like half of what he is owed on the contract.
But that would assume that Ron had some sense in the negotiations. It is rare that a school puts themselves in that risky of a position on a coaches first extension. That would be a move after a long string of success.
full term with incentives maybe. Manning was 2-17 in the ACC the year before his first four run. This was a recruiting contract extension as much as anything. The idea that we were going to commit to a buyout that is more than Shaka Smart is being paid by Texas multiplied by number of years? Eh.....
