where is this stated. he was fired in january of 2009 with 3 years left on his contract. 2009 season, 2010 season, 2011 season. why would anyone agree to an extra year of the terms of the contract if they were fired? maybe its written in the contract that if contract is honored upon termination payout will be an extra 12 months from date fired? just trying to figure this out.
His buyout wasn't a few million. Look how long it took to pay Phil. It will be the same for Dooley. If he takes a coaching job before the buyout is complete , he loses that money. No harm waiting on that.
