Lose and his market value tanks after the game and he goes out losing but with the deal signed before the game. Loss can be explained away because his mind was on the new job.

Win and his market value improves at Mississippi but at the risk of losing he had to sign the deal before the game.

The real question is, when will Cohen or the 5 money families sign the unprecedented 3rd coach they will buy out.

You have to think about it. Coaching at Auburn while Saban is at your main rival, your chance for an eventual buyout is 95%. You're not going to beat Bama regularly and they'll win a several Natty's while you're coaching at Auburn. Early retirement plan. Small buyout for coming for Cohen eventually as well.

One game is not going to change his value. Its actually 2 games when you throw in Arkansas, but it doesn't change anything.

Lane took UM from nowhere to 10-2 in two seasons, through amazing use of the transfer portal and solid recruiting. The expectation is that key players will follow him to his new destination, and that he will continue to attract teansfers
