Look at EVERY other major CFB HC's contracts and you will see very similar buyouts. Look at the Golden parachutes nearly ALL COO's have in their contracts. It is how it works at that level my fellow VOL. Executives in all areas of business write in protection of salary

In that case, if there was any chance we could land a "big fish" this year, im sure a donor could whip out 5 mil in a heartbeat.

$5 million is less than they will lose if the stadium only has 65 or 70 thousand fans per home game next year.

There are plenty of people that will still support their team and university regardless. Its the idiots that scream they wont attend games or support that think they will have the slightest effect on what happens inside the program, in which they are wrong.

Mike Hamilton single-handedly destroyed the men's athletic program at Tennessee. Football, Baseball, Track all deteriorated under his watch. Thank heavens Joan Cronan was in charge of the women's program otherwise that would probably suck by now too.

Just in case you guys have forgotten, he was the only idiot that would take this job at that time. Yes, even Air Force's coach wouldn't come here. AIR FORCE!! Most rational people realized that this was a huge mess that would take time to rebuild, so they gave him time.

There is a difference in the buyout if the coach violates the contract terms versus if the team violates it. Kiffin's buyout if he left was 800K but if we fired him in 09 or 10 it was 7.5 million. Read the terms of the Kiffin contract and it will piss you off worse. Mike Hamilton actually did a lot better on Dooley's contract as far as protecting the team.

Kiffin's contract finally completed GoVolsXtra

That's why you name interim coaches for one year. See OSU as an example.

I agree and furthermore, I'll bet that none of those that scream that they won't attend games have never contributed a single dollar to the University of Tennessee or the VASF.

Not going to start a new thread, could be posted.

On twitter @fbrumormill said "Derek Dooley telling advisers he expects to fire several coaches."

Boy, this board is full of ignorant dumbasses

Got some news for you yahoos: Dooley's contract had to be approved by a number of other people besides Mike Hamilton. He didn't do it on his own. He facilitated it for the University. It's just like a bunch of rednecks, though, to be laying blame on someone without having the first dam clue.

Got some other news for you too: Most coaches have similar buyouts at EVERY major BCS school.

This board is full of "what have you done for me lately" knee-jerk reactionaries. Sometimes I am ashamed of our fanbase. This is certainly one of those times

So for that, we shouldn't expect results?

Kippy Brown should have been named interim head coach.

Exactly. Which has no bearing on this University losing money.

It is rather funny to see people gloat about not spending another dime on this school as if it actually matters.
