Slice, why do you have the username, MaximusXIII? Why not Slice?
I have totally expected as much the whole time. Who would willingly walk away from that kind of money? Now if he blows it next year, I don't doubt they fire him. There are a lot of folks in the FF running wild convinced he's fired, leaving, or gruden is coming!
He's really not walking away from it. The B1G schools, on average, have more money than a SEC school will. The TV deals are better. For this reason a school like Purdue could offer a similar contract. It's just on his agent to secure the golden parachute in his contract.
That being said, it's not a smart move for Butch. The most frustrating part about him is how correctable all the problems are. Get out of your coordinators way, replace DeBord with Helfrich or Gilbert if you can get thrm to listen, and stop being just a douche in the media.
