Well, if the rumors are true about who wrote the big check so they could dump Willie, then, provided she is so inclined, writing another big check to pay a buyout is really not going to be much of a strain.
As much as I hate FSU, this is the truly sad part. There are human impacts to their ineptitude and fair weather fans. Hurts a lot of good people who built businesses around a generally stable program that is crashing and burning due to poor hiring decisions.
Stoops was DC for the 1996 NC team and was held in high esteem as I recall. He was succeeded by Jon Hoke who was not so well regarded and was viewed by many as a huge downgrade from Stoops.
I suspect you are correct and wonder if that will make it difficult to raise money for a potential buyout. After all, it no doubt was pretty easy to get the big donors to all agree that Willie had to go. Might be more difficult to get them to all agree who the replacement should be and commit to ponying up more dinero. After Urbs, Big Game Bob, and possibly Kelly (not sure why he'd take that job, but he's name we are hearing) who is someone they'd all be happy with, or would at least create some buzz?
It was very disappointing that Bob Stoops even referred Hoke The Joke to Spurrier when he left for OU. I thought and hoped for sure Spurrier would have promoted Bob Sanders, as he seemed much more of an upgrade compared to Hoke.
