    Regardless of who actually pays for the BO, the state and its tax payers are the ultimate guarantor on a contract between a state school and another party. That's how I interpret it. Will this ever come to a point where the money is coming out of the state treasury? No. They will find the money from somewhere or they wouldn't have fired him.
  2. They got the money by not hiring janitors. It's well documented, as you can see in the tweet exchange between Joe Burrow and his professor at LSU.
  3. Thank god Sark has prioritized "big humans." The results are just night and day!
  4. Last year, we couldn't put any team away. That was last year. Oh wait!
  5. Can't wait for Aaron Butler to light it up on Saturday.
  6. Is this the thread where we chime in if we think Caldwell will or should starts?
  7. Shadeur wishes he was white?
  8. Do you even "backup can't be any worse," bro?
  9. Nothing will matter unless we fix our atrocious OL. How do some of you watch the game and think if we put somone else at the QB position, we will play better?
  10. Hey man, if he was 8-0 with an explosive offense, I could tell you for a FACT that his absence was due to a much needed rehab and that he came out steonger than ever.
  11. It's nice but we have a backup QB who only throws TDs.
  12. This thread is going to be so much more fun if we lose to Vandy at home.
  13. Nothing in that interview leads me to believe that she made up the whole thing. She didn't backtrack from her reporting. She stated why it's a big deal and that Sark didn’t really refute her reporting by saying he was staying at Texas. She seems to be implying that we would just have to wait and see how it plays out. She also wanted to make it sound like it's understandable if Sark indeed wanted to coach in the NFL.

    If they are negotiating a BO that's less than 50% of the amount owed, I would guess that the offsetting language will be removed. Otherwise, his agent is an idiot. Kelly has had enough success as a coach to land another high paying job, so this $20M could be a nice windfall on top of his regular salary going forward.

    I think they pay out the BO money monthly over the reminder of the original contract, so It's possible the payment gets revised down if someone pays him more down the road unless the settlement amount is fixed. Jimbo's contract had an immediate payment clause, I believe, which is the dumbest thing you can do.

    Kelly's contract has an offsetting clause where his BO would be offset by his earnings from other jobs. LSU doesn't have to pay the full amount. That's why they can negotiate it down to $20-30M based on some assumptions about how much he could make from other jobs during the reminder of the contract. Herman had the same deal. UT didn't pay him the full BO.

    I think we are seeing these mid-season firings so that the fired coaches can find other jobs next season to offset the buyout. Perhaps the days of waiting till the end of the year to fire a coach are over if it's clear he ain't the guy.
  18. If Vegas believes we are the favorites, then it's not a miracle when we win the game, is it?
  19. I think coaches should refrain from commenting on fan reactions on the internet. Comes across as thin skinned like this one. Texas_coach_Steve_Sarkisian_snaps_before_the_Alamo_Bowl.mp4
  20. We're Texas! That's why.
  21. The program is in a much better shape than what Sark inherited, for which I am very grateful, but it's obvious that he is not capable of taking us to the finish line. He is not learning and adapting from past mistakes, which is a red flag. If we are going to make a change, do it while we still have a good team and culture.
  22. I don't get why LSU and Arky always have trouble beating Aggy even when they have the superior teams. They, however, bring their A game when they play us.
