He'll leave for another big job in a few years too.
If you're one of the dozens of UCF fans, this should make you very happy to hear.
Would be a great hire. Good chance he was going to be our plan B if Frost fell through.
If they hire Sumlin, can he coach them in the bowl game?
If he goes there, he is getting paid a ton from TxAM so that helps the UCF budget. His buyout was huge iirc.
It was as like $12 or $16(?) million. The crazy part is that it had to be paid in full in 30 days or something insane.
Wasnt he fired? If so A&M is paying him his money.
Have there been any rumors about Riley or is he just standing in the social security line ? I saw that Kent state fired their coach who never won more than 4 games. Riley might fit in good there. Get them 6 wins and to a bowl and he would be a hero.
If Sumlin was fired, A&M has to pay him within 60 days. Depending on how the rest of the contract is worded, he may be free to coach when and where he wants.
Sumlin's buyout is not affected by his next job. Dude got away like a bandit. His agent is probably getting all kinds of phone calls since everyone found out what he negotiated for Sumlin. Haha.
He is and doesn’t have to forfeit any future earnings. His agent must be a rockstar
Well, hopefully his agent can negotiate a similar deal with UCF. Best retirement plan I've heard of yet.
That was amazing by sumlin. Payable all in one lump sum. Taxes gonna be rough. T&M pretty deep pockets to be able to afford that and Jimbo
Like Warren Buffet says no one stops being rich because they don’t want to pay taxes.
A & M has over a billion dollar endowment. No problem sending a buyout check.
