It sounds like the guy just wanted to coach football. Not to have to deal with recruiting, boosters, NIL, etc.  It just doesn't work that way.

Could've gotten $20 million.

After seeing Jimbo's buyout I told my Badger friends they need to up their budget big time if they want to "compete for championships".

We have just stupid money here

When Fisher leaves, you probably won't be willing to pay even a quarter of his buyout, will you?

And you call yourself a TAMU fan!

I don't see the big deal, he was just speaking facts

Speaking of 'stupid money', how much does Michigan State pay their coach per win?

That defense of their's is woof

Is giving up over 600 yds with 10 min still left in a game bad? (at home)

The amazing thing is so many years ago, The Spartans and their Board of Trustees  did not want to pay Nick Saban top dollar so he left to go to LSU and the rest is history .

That was forward thinking to have money set aside for the cost of having a pedophile rapist on staff.

Oh wait, the tax payers paid that.

Your right, poor decision by MSU.

[MU82]

ND with some butt-ugly unis.

How bout them Huskers 2-1 tied for lead in the Big Ten Worst

The Athletic says Matt Rhule "will have his pick" of available college jobs after the season, and it specifically mentioned Auburn, Nebraska and Wisconsin.

I'll be quite shocked if it's Wisconsin

[The Sultan]

Yeah, it's Leonhard's job to lose. But I think McIntosh is going to want to hear how he plans on fixing the program as much behind the scenes as anything. Recruiting has been an issue.

I think Leipold would be next up before Rhule.  Could be way off base here

That's my guess too. Rhule doesn't have any real ties to that areas. His only tie to the Big Ten is playing for Penn State 25 years ago.

Maybe if Leonhard bombs, Leipold goes to UW and Nebraska goes for the biggest name.

Feels like Rhule's agent has a friend at The Athletic that likes to get his name out there.

A huge problem with Chryst's approach is that it drove Joe Rudolph away. This year's O-Line is as bad as it gets at UW and last year was not much better.

[The Sultan]

But Rudolph was a terrible coordinator.

I would say average at best rather than terrible, but a very good Line coach.

They've whiffed in recruiting.  Line busts based on recruiting services aren't uncommon.  Madison usually avoids the busts but not recently.

Quite possible.
