The only way he survives is the buyout, which is enormous. I imagine SC is in better financial shape than FSU, but $22 million is a big chunk!
I don't understand how these agents get contracts like this. Only coaches like Swinney & Saban deserve that type of buyout, because they've earned it. The only thing Muschamp has accomplished as a coach is to get rich.
Will Muschamp's buyout at South Carolina extremely high
According to
USA Today's salary database, Muschamp's buyout — as of April 1, 2019 — is $18.6 million if fired after Dec. 31, one of the larger sums nationally. That number is a gargantuan $22 million if he's fired before the season is over.
