The story references a 9.2 million buyout - that can't be right, can it? That's crazy.
If true my first thought/suspicion would be 'kickback'.
Oh the media is gonna have a field day with Butch Jones and UT now especially after getting accused of fake news last week. So much ammo so little time (before he is fired)
Let the shots begin and as a vol fan lets just hope it doesnt make our program a laughing stock which will hurt recruiting as well

Time to go all in on Chip Kelly...every recruit and commit we have knows his style of play. The offensive recruits know they will put up video game numbers...and they fit his system already along with our roster now. Plus he can make Garauntano his Dennis Dixon (PAC10 Off. Player of the Year), Jeremiah Masoli, Darren Thomas, and future Heisman winner now Titans QB Marcus Mariota...Garauntano is a prototype like all of them. Let's not forget RB's LaMichael James and Kenjon Barner gashed teams in his spread system. Kelly, Chandler, Fils-Aime should be licking their chops the way those RBs put up insane numbers.
Tennessee is the perfect fit for Chip Kelly to walk into and be successful...and if he could pull Mark Helfrich here for OC...then find a solid DC.......Currie and the Power Boosters need to make this happen.
Yep, it's true. Unfortunately it's what Tennessee has done for a while. Give ridiculous amounts of money to coaches who aren't worth minimum wage on game day.

We have $17 million in reserves if I'm not mistaken plus SEC Network loot as well...we are not in the red like when the Kiffin/Dooley disasters happened. It will be a hit no doubt but you have to spend money to make money and to keep from going in the red from a failed product...Economics 101.

I have zero faith that Tennessee will go after a big name coach. If Butch is fired, it'll be someone who's 8-4 in the mac, or something like that.
More importantly, it's not all due at once. Per his last contract extension on 12/2015, it's 2.5M per year up to the point he gets other employment as a HC or assistant coach or even athletic administrator at a college or in the pros. At that time, the amount goes down by the difference in his salary at his new gig and the 2.5M buyout. The 9.2M figure is a maximum payout we'd owe if we fired him now before the USCe game and he couldn't find a job in one of those areas by 2/28/2021.

But they won't. Fans will still pack the stadium. 90,000+ will show up no matter how bad things may get.
