Some of the buy-outs for these coaches are absolutely insane.....$49M for Franklin, Jimbo's was over $70M at A&M. How the schools even agree to that is beyond me. Found the snippet below from this article....over $100M for Kirby Smart, JFC.

"According to USA Today’s coaching salary database, Georgia coach Kirby Smart currently has the largest buyout in the country at $105.1 million, followed by Ohio State’s Ryan Day ($70.9 million), Alabama’s Kalen DeBoer ($60.8 million), Texas’ Steve Sarkisian ($60.3 million) and Clemson’s Dabo Swinney ($60 million). Because Riley is at USC, a private school, the institution is not required to disclose contract terms via open records laws. Other currently employed coaches with buyouts above $40 million include Florida State’s Mike Norvell, Oregon’s Dan Lanning, Indiana’s Curt Cignetti, Kelly, Nebraska’s Matt Rhule and Illinois’ Bret Bielema."
