Honeymoon must be over.Players get the bench or kicked off the team if they perform poorly. Coaches that have long and high dollar contracts are set for life. They have no outside incentive to do anything. This is dumb.

Thinking Jimbo. Heupel has been a Godsend.Honeymoon must be over.
If you have a 75 mil buyout, incentive bonuses mean very little.I’m pretty sure that coaches have incentive bonuses related to things like conference performance, conference tournament performance, and ncaa tournament performance. Probably for even more. If what you’re asking is why there is no downside to the contract for poor performance, I think theoretically there is. It’s not getting those bonuses.
So you’re talking about a buy-out specifically? Your post didn’t note that.If you have a 75 mil buyout, incentive bonuses mean very little.
My OP did. I wasn't asking about force. I was asking why programs would do such a stupid thing.So you’re talking about a buy-out specifically? Your post didn’t note that.
In that case, the market and/or school decides. Nobody forced TA&M to offer that contract to Jimbo, and nobody is forcing them to fire him, thus owing it. It’s their decision to eat it.
Your OP mentioned high dollar contracts and being set for life, but that doesn’t specifically state high dollar buyouts. Either way we’re splitting hairs because I know what you mean.My OP did. I wasn't asking about force. I was asking why programs would do such a stupid thing.
In Fisher's case, there was already unhappiness at FSU with his performance. I believe that Saban is a self-motivator. He only cares about perfection, but most are not.Your OP mentioned high dollar contracts and being set for life, but that doesn’t specifically state high dollar buyouts.

My only guess is that they had to sweeten the pot a bit because Jimbo had a sweet deal had FSU with good job security (well, good as it can be in college football). But I agree with you. It’s excessive and really stupid.
