4 years of Holtz salary (what he is owed if fired without cause).Quote:

I don't know how they typically set it up, but if the contract posted on the site is accurate, the language is pretty clear. It's a very favorable contract for Skip. Our "negotiators" seem to have been bested by Holtz's.Quote:

I'm only repeating what I think RC said earlier. If it's only a million, it's a no brainer.Quote:

Anyway, his total yearly compensation right now is at least $1,000,000.
You are correct JL. I found the minutes from the USL Board Meeting (I could not cut and paste). I guess I just never figured we'd be so stupid after we allowed Dykes to bend us over. We turned around and let Holtz get to us in a worse way.
Maybe, just Maybe. The bama fans will want to fire Saban, for losing the game going for a 60 yard field goal. We could hire him on the cheap while he is being paid millions not to coach the tide.
You have a far better chance of winning the lotto than Holtz has of magically becoming a good coach.Quote:
