I had it confirmed for me....

[Liverpooldawg]

over the last few days. The buyout is over $9 million. Joe WILL be here next year. Rumors to the contrary are just that, rumors. He ain't leaving and we ain't getting rid of him. Our financial position is better than was, but not enough better to do THAT. This source has never been wrong, ever. So, given that fact, why don't we do a most un MSU thing and support the coach until he isn't the coach. Our decision makers are not stupid. They also don't wish for pie in the sky stuff. That privilege is reserved for message boards.

Then Cohen should be fired for extending that bullshit. But I still don’t believe that’s the number based on what I’ve been told. And if he loses to AR and OM, he’s fired.

Agreed. That is the definition of biting off more than you can chew.

[Fader21]

I don't believe the number either. One thing to also consider is not only his buyout but the buyout of the guy we hire, if it's a head coach. That's why I believe he will be here next year also.

[PMDawg]

We can always hope he takes the Rutgers gig.

[cheewgumm]

Why would we negotiate a $9M buyout for a coach with 0 leverage?

This.

[Tbonewannabe]

His entire contract is just over $9 Mil left. So that wouldn't be a buyout but just paying out his contract. I guess a buyout could extend the years in which we would have to pay him.

[Randolph Dupree]

We should NEVER put ourselves in a position where we can't buyout a coach.

Here is all the coaches buyouts in the SEC except Derek Mason, per this 247 report:

Wow

[Really Clark?]

Remember that is the buyout if fired. If he is hired away the buyout is a little below $2 MIL. $9.5 MIL is high, especially considering he had no buyout on his first contract. But he is still the lowest in the league.

Man if that's accurate Cohen should be sacked. What did Sloppy Joe do last season to deserve that big of a vote of confidence ?

He did have a buyout. That's not accurate. At all

Just going by what was reported. That his original contract had no buyout.

Nope

But he isnt being hired away. I have explained this.

No one takes you seriously. Stop posting. It doesn’t matter if you’re right or wrong. You’re a clown.

[TUSK]

meh, $9M is cheap if y’all know he ain’t the guy.

Unlike wives, it’s seldom cheaper to keep a HC (when one considers LT ROI)...

[Todd4State]

This is why MSU are rumored to be working on him leaving on his own. The feeling is probably mutual. We don’t want him and I don’t think Joe wants to be here either.

It just isn’t a fit for either one. And no- MSU fans should not support a bad product on the field because our inexperienced AD made a bad move.

If we have to buy him out I’m sure we’ll negotiate it out where it’s either lowered and/or spread out over a few years. So I’m not worried about the money not being there.
