Oregon State reached out to Butch Jones!

[Orange defense]

Coaching rumors: Oregon State reportedly reached out to Butch Jones about job opening
If he takes that job, then how much money will the University gain from his contract?

 

[Burhead]

I really doubt that but if they did, and he turned them down, than he is even more foolish than I thought. That is probably going to be his only chance to catch on with a team that is in a power 5 conference this year.

Agree

LOL and he already comes with his own bricks,trashcan and champions of life trophy.

Hope it's true

He is smart. He wants to retire on our buyout.

 

[dougvolfan]

Its a start. Lets start campaining for botch to take a good paying job so we can use his buyout money for a new coach.

Good god. Why would he do that

Wow, he's got a set, I'll say that. He has to look for comparable employment to keep the buyout coming. Turning down positions could let us off the hook if he ends up not coaching. Keep making those questionable game day decisions, coach!

His buyout is $2.5 million/yr minus his new salary

 

[Elhanan]

This would be awesome. I hope they keep offering him more and more until he takes it

I don't think UT has to pay buyout if the sign him to the same contract.

Funny how many people apparently don't click the link to read the story.

Waiting on the Florida job?😜

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Legend in his own mind. Probably thinks he can get another SEC job

 

[NorthDallas40]

Hmmmmmm... so the clause about trying to find gainful employment to offset the buyout. Wonder if he keeps turning down “overtures” that could be construed as bad faith to comply with the clause? Honestly have no idea.

Don't the buyout clause usually say the coach has to find gainful employment. If so, then how can he turn it down?


What you find in a college football coach's contract buyout

 

[TennTom]

That will probably be the only Power 5 offer he gets. He's got a lot of nerve and arrogance to think anyone else in P5 will want him.

lol

Story planted by Jimmy Sexton. For more info call 555-urfs.

It is suppose in be in his contract to do due diligence in finding a comparable job. If he sits back and does that, it could possibly lower his buyout IF Tennessee has the guts to challenge it.

His buyout supposedly requires him to reasonably seek employment elsewhere. If he overtly turns a job down, I think he loses money from the buyout. Legit legal minds please intervene here.

What are they like 1-10?? That’s a 27 year rebuild for Butch!
