After 2024: Billy Napier’s buyout would be $25,670,000 (85% of 30.2M);You don't think Fisch is on the first flight to Gainesville after Napier gets canned next year you are kidding yourself? No question Napier is a dead man walking. Just a question if Fisch gets the phone call first or they go in a different direction.
Pretty soon this Cristobal contact is going to seem like a bargain.
Everyone is getting paid $8m+ now.
Absolutely, but we're talking about if Florida wants to sign Fisch in a couple of years. Washington was paying DeBoer about $4M per year, what do you think Fisch will get paid at Washington $5M or $6M? If Florida really wants the guy in a year or 2 and offers $9M - $10M per year, can Washington match that? This is why being a full member of the Big 10 or SEC is so key.
After 2024: Billy Napier’s buyout would be $25,670,000 (85% of 30.2M);
After 2025: Billy Napier’s buyout would be $19,380,000 (85% of 22.8M);
After 2026: Billy Napier’s buyout would be $13,005,000 (85% of 15.3M);
After 2027: Billy Napier’s buyout would be $6,545,000 (85% of 7.7M).
Fish just signed a 7 year, $54.3M contract. It's also backloaded. for argument's sake, though, let's evenly divide it, and assume the same 85% buyout. After one year, that buyout figures to be $39.6M after 2024.
So you're talking a $66M in buyouts after 2024 if they want Fisch, and almost certainly over $8m/year in salary. I am also aware that buyouts often end up getting negotiated in court to something lower, or a long-term payout with financing. Still, that scenario just became insanely expensive for UF.
@TheOriginalCane lmk if you're seeing different figures.
Fisch is getting 7.75M per year. Washington is in the Big 10 now.
Fisch is fully aware of Florida's situation. He is not going to leave Washington after just one year, otherwise he could have stayed at Arizona, won a watered down Big 12, and had more leverage a year from now.
Now, if Slingblade Billy stretches his disastrous tenure for another 2 or 3 years, then maybe Florida's and Fisch's timetables will eventually coincide.
Complete POS. I have a friend who has a source in the AD who has called Jedd a phony for years, i never believed it till now
I kind of feel bad for teams like Arizona. Perineally average at best with an occasional excellent year or two. Finally come across a good coach only to be poached by another program and once again need another head coaching search.
I know that’s not Canes related but remember losing Howard and then Jimmy and then Dennis and then Butch all in a row?
