Isn't UCLA more or less stuck with Mora as they give him contract extension after contract extension? I am sure he is owed a lot of money if he is fired...
Bryan Fischer @BryanDFischer 10h10 hours ago Jim Mora is 24-18 in Pac-12 play now, the exact same record Karl Dorrell had in Pac-10 play.
Dorrell was under contract through 2011, but it included a buyout clause that would pay him $2.05-million over a two-year period.
Jim Mora's Contract Buyout Is Currently An Absurd $14.76 Million
That's not accurate. He has approximately $11M left on his deal. UCLA can terminate him without cause and they're on the hook for 80%, $8 million, or so.
UCLA has several options to limit their financial exposure.
The contract contains an offset provision. UCLA only has to cover the difference between what Mora earns in his next job and the difference in his remaining salary, again reduced by 20% if they fire him without cause.
The contract requires Mora seek similar employment which protects UCLA if Mora sits on his ass or goes through the motions looking for another job
If UCLA fires Mora, they can claim they canned him for cause. Outbursts. Conduct detrimental to the team...
They can tie him up legally (Hi Sark) and likely force him into settling at a discount.
There are enough ignorant AD's that would probably hire Mora, albeit at a lessor salary. Even if Mora can't find a HC gig, some team will be stupid enough to hire him as a Cordinator and pay him 7 figures.
Yes, UCLA will have to eat some $. If they are serious about football, @BallSacked ?, they'll can him and maneuver their way to a favorable settlement. Sark is sober. Lane Kiffin has matured and likely earns another natty ring. They both know the LA market and are tanned, motivated and ready to stick it to their former employer.
