Dead Money

We're not doing too bad compared to other SEC schools.

 

[HomeBoyDawg]

One of the few times being last in the SEC is a good thing.

Ellis Johnson is on the list at least twice-- getting $2.1 million from Southern Miss and $2.2 million from Auburn.

Notice that the ACC is at the bottom as far as conference go and their conference sucks ***. Wake Forrest is the best football team in the Conference. "Wake Forrest" That conference probably need to fire some coaches.

That article lists Andy Kennedy as a Football HC. Who knew?

 

[Maroon Eagle]

He did start at QB for Winston Academy.

Surely we're paying Moorhead something. And Stans didn't cost anything when he "retired"?

A quarter of that list looks like a Nick Saban body count.

It's good work if you can get it.

I would think Stans has been completely paid by now. I was surprised not to see Moorhead. Maybe a lump sum was negotiated.

Does OM offer every coach they hire a buyout? 51 ex coaches they are paying. Dubmasses

I took it to mean money that had been paid since 2010. Stans left after 2012 I think. Mike Shula is on the Alabama list - so it has to include some old buyouts. No way they are paying him anything 15 years later.

That TN number doesn't seem right. They're on coach #6 since 2010. 3 of those guys were fired. Plus Fat Phil got canned in 2008 and again, as Athletic Director, in 2020.

They did fire Pruitt with cause because of the McDonalds bags of cash. So no buyout for him.

Gotcha. I thought for sure Stans got paid. Maybe it only counts when you actually get "fired" as opposed to resigning or retiring and negotiating a buyout of the contract.

I think it’s more likely that it came from Bulldog Club money?
