    There are things more important than money. I don't know what they are, but Crisco does.
    Prediction - he signs it but it has a low buyout specifically for Miami and he exercises it next year once the AD mess is figured out

    Still below the new market by quite a bit

    I think Cristobalz bounces if he gets the right deal and promises of support, I just don’t know if Miami has the money. $50 million for the two buyouts and for tits to get a six year/$7 mil a year contract, which is a $1-2 mil raise, made slightly better by no income tax. From the Miami Herald:

    Both trustees said Oregon coach and former UM player Mario Cristobal would be the obvious target but doubt UM could afford him.

    “We don’t have that kind of money,” one trustee said.
    A UM trustee detailed that the athletic department’s finances pale in comparison to Texas A&M and Florida:
    Why can Texas A&M afford to pay Jimbo Fisher more than $9 million annually and UM can’t pay coaches more than $4 million to $5 million?
    “Our revenue from sports is $90 million to $100 million a year; at Texas A&M, it’s $175 million, Florida is close to that,” the trustee said.

    Miami might not be it

    Mario also may be quite happy to get a big raise and stay

    Its interesting how big a jump the market took
