Briles is a good OC. KJ fell off a cliff without him

And Liberty is private like Vandy and doesn't disclose their spending on athletics - so no one really knows.
So, Hugh Freeze had it made and with all the money as some say, he bolted, so why would Liberty have so a huge buyout and contract for Chadwell, asking for a friend?
Liberty may have tons of money, but they will never be a strong powerhouse unless they get into a conference bigger than what they are in. Strong conferences are made from top to bottom, not just one or two good programs. Btw, so what the Ncaa expands the playoff teams, can't see Liberty being the next Bama. Plus I can't see Liberty having a TV interest like say the Sec or Big 10 programs.
@BrunswickDawg... That is an amazing site! Thanks for sharing.
So MSU spent $29M on football in 2022 and Kansas spent $21M
ETA: $21M is the FBS median. So we are spending $8M more than your average FBS, including Kansas.
Because they knew that Freeze would bolt the second he built them up. But when he built them up they knew they needed to stay at that level. So they went out, hired a great HC, and made his buyout 8 figures so if someone really wanted him they would have to pay up and Liberty would have even more money to go get the next coach. They are protecting their valuable assets.
Not disagreeing, point is can they keep a good Coach. Sec has way more to offer, and yes Msu can pay a good salary when needed. I do hear Chadwell is our #1 target, pretty sure he has so many days to decide then it's time to move to plan B if he says no. Also, not so sure about the buyout, I was told not even close to $12 Million but still a little high.
I learned a little about Herman also, he is not high on list.
Nobody outside knows the actual buyout. There have been multiple reports published that speculated $12 MIL +. I've seen some say as low as $4 MIL but I never posted that as I've been told it's well above that. What's the actual number? The closest I've been told is that is 8 or close to 8 figures.
I've been saying Herman wasn't high on the list since before we actually fired CZA.
