Horrible contract by a supposed genius AD. This is contract 101 stuff. List of worst dead money contracts. [h=3]9. Will Muschamp, Florida, $6 million[/h]
Athletic directors usually put in a contract provision preventing a coach from double dipping at another job if he is fired. Florida's Jeremy Foley is an experienced athletic director but somehow didn't use such a provision when Muschamp was hired to take over the Gators starting in 2011. When Florida fired him after last season, Muschamp got to pocket the full $6 million remaining on his deal and then double dipped by becoming the highest-paid defensive coordinator in the SEC at Auburn ($2.1 million a year). What does Florida get for giving Muschamp a sweetheart deal? Muschamp got the biggest recruit in the country, Byron Cowart, to choose Auburn over Florida. Yikes.
