    I see that working somehow. Guy may never be a head coach again, but he has an impressive list of guys he’s helped get to the NFL.

    He needs to go under saban to rehab his image

    He is an asst with the rams which cuts into some of what he's owed I believe.

    Smiff is building a perennial 8-4 staff
    Idk man, he looks pretty good. Maybe 9-3 given how challenged they are offensively in big 10. Can see him competing for the big 10 tittle every 3-4 years
    8-4 in the big 10 is good.

    If Lake gets hired, we stop paying him, right?

    If so, Smith is doing us a double service since we'd free up some cash and get to kick his ass twice every 5 years

    And a team like Iowa isn't ever going 10-2 in the
    B1G again. The west was the biggest clown division in sports and Iowa is slotting back into obscurity now they'll play an actual TUFF schedule again.

    MSU has more potential, but contending every 3-4 years is a bit generous given the strength of competition.

    I have no idea how it works but I’ve always understood the buyouts to work like this:

    Coach gets $3 million/year in buyout money.

    Coach gets new job paying $500,000.

    Buyout money from school is now $2.5 million.

    Again, that’s just my understanding. I have no idea how the money works out because I’ve always been paid in nacho cheese sauce.
    That's correct. Lake is with the rams but making like $100k so we're still on the hook.

    It’s all in what’s negotiated. There’s no set rule.

    Yup, Jimbo didn't have this clause so he can get another head coaching job and continue cashing full checks from TAMU.
