$8,875,000

I thought once he was hired at South Carolina, that amount either went down or disappeared

We have dildos who graduated from a shopping center law school writing our contracts at UF.

I think that sounds a little suspicious to me, b/c if that is the case, then our athletic dept and/or the legal dept. within the athletic dept. is dumber than I thought. I always thought that you had to honor that contract if there was a non-compete clause or that person did not attain work. In most cases of coaching, the remaining amount of the contract is 'usually" offset by the amount of money being made at the new job.

Right, but not at UF. In fact, if you look far enough back, you can find a few epic threads of PDS defending the lack of offset in the contract.

The only rational explanation is he is one of the morons who wrote it. Your average business student with one semester of undergrad business law knows better.

That I thought was standard contract legalese in the coaching profession, but nothing would surprise me on anything Fooley signed off on.

Usually, yes. It was confirmed that was not the case. The buyout money stacks right on top of his South Carolina money.

Thanx OX and Law. For the record I took Bus. Law I and Bus Law II at UF. I was bored my last semester and took B-Law 2 just in case I decided to go to grad school. Smartly I chose not to, but I certainly did not need either class to know about how most contracts work. Nice to know our athletic dept. is not letting us down and continues to be as bufoonish as ever.

Yeah, even now the offset is only if he takes a position in the SEC and it's only a partial offset.

We are morons. We refuse to pay enough to attract top talent, then somehow overpay whatever damaged goods we buy on the cheap to coach this team.

That sounds eerily similar to how the U.S. Gov't runs and also the perfect recipe for any business to end up in Bankruptcy court regardless of what Chapter protection you seek

Stands to reason. We hired a politician to run the athletic department.

WTF is this for? Anybody know?

When we play SC, Muschamp should put up one of those instantly updating tickers on the scoreboard of how much UF is still paying him per second. Like that national debt clock.

Dan Mullen to the rescue!

If it makes you feel any better the tax implications of those salaries are significant.

Have no idea how my phone posted the above.

Nuss is getting paid about $832,999 too much.

You have a mobile phone? I always pictured you still using one of these:

As for being on the GCMB, I always figured you didn't own a computer but paid for internet time at the library.

Breaking that down, it is about $86,538. per week and based on a 40-hour work week it is $2,163. per hour. Pretty fair wage and that's not counting all the perks. IMHO, no football coach, nor player is worth that. To put it in perspective, an orthopaedic surgeon, heart surgeon and neurosurgeon who have spent around 10 to 12 years in school following high school generally make between 1 & 3 M. I think we pay Richt 4M, but at least we are showing some progress.
Anyone know what Scott Frost makes?
