Lemon?s buy out

[bigbub50]

Is the buy out more if we do it mid-season vs waiting til after season? Does anyone know the approximate cost?

[MaroonFlounder]

There's still a disagreement whether the amount of the buyout was the reason Lem wasn't fired after last season.

That shouldn't be the case if we have a 3rd straight non-competitive year.

We have to pay out his contract. His deal wasnt extended after last season obviously. It cost what it cost. If he needs to get the boot- he most assuredly will.

He signed a contract extension in July of 2021. It was to pay him $1.25 million in 2022 with a $25k raise every year afterwards. Assuming it was the standard 4 year contract (max allowed by Mississippi law), then we'll owe him a buyout of $1,325,000 after this season.

2022: 1,250,000
2023: 1,275,000
2024: 1,300,000
2025: 1,325,000

I'm not positive but I think Cohen extended him after 22

Yikes

If I were the AD, I would have a group of former players 1990 to 2023 audit the program to report back on issues. Make sure that if you fire the coach, there are no other rogue elements contributing to problems. Groupies, clingers, jock-sniffers, or local party-dorks that are making the program soft.

The current state of the program is like watching Rocky III, "eye of the tiger", when Rocky goes soft and loses his edge. LSU winning the title is Clubber Lang.

The university always publicly announces extensions. July 2021 was the last release regarding Lemonis: https://hailstate.com/news/2021/7/26...ract-extension

always? ok

[Coach34]

Does it matter?

Misses NCAA's? He will be fired

Makes NCAA's? Likely keeps job unless he is a 3 seed/last team in kind of deal then it's 50/50

[confucius say]

Let's let the season play out before we have daily threads and daily podcasts (hadad and Faulk) saying our coach is done.

[Pancho]

pay as much attention to those 2 as the weather guy. they all get paid regardless

[Todd4State]

I highly doubt his buyout will be an issue.

Not so sure about this. There just seems to be a lot of goodwill that has been burned between Lemonis and the fanbase. If he turns this around it wouldn't shock me if he pulled a Pat McMahon and left.

Mac left for a better job. Lemon won’t have that chance

Polk was a problem for McMahon

1. Not sure that I would consider Florida a "better" job than ours. We offset the lack of talent in the area with massive support. Both of us have the same amount of NC titles.

2. Depends on how we do this year and what is open and available. I wouldn't be shocked if he ends up at the Citadel.

90% of coaches would prefer the Florida job to ours.

Live in Fla
Talent all around
Same pay

My fear is he does just enough to make administration think maybe he can still be the guy so he doesn?t get fired and we continue for another year or 2 of mediocrity. Super regional or bust for me at this point.
