The thing about the buyout, the full 17 million doesn’t have to be paid at one time, it can be paid out over the life of the contract....
Florida is still paying Jim Mcelwain and might still be paying Muschamp...
Most of the Assistants at FSU would have to be paid off as well, that would be several million
But the issue of really paying big time for a new coach is where it might get tough...
IMO, they have no chance to get Urban Meyer, but the next coach is going to want 5 million and a bunch of other money for assistants....
And a humongous buyout if they fired the previous guy after less than 2 seasons.
