Reading some rumors that Taggart is at the top of the list for Florida. He has a surprisingly low buyout at Oregon.

According to the latest USAToday article on highest paid coaches, his buyout is $8.1M.

That list confused me a bit.  Is the "buyout" the amount that other schools would have to pay the current school if they hire their coach, or is it the amount owed to the coach if the coach is fired?  I read it as the latter, or is it both?

I assume it's both.  

Edit:  It is what the school owes the coach if they fire him.  It's listed at the bottom of the article

Some people have wondered if there will be a meltdown if we don’t hire Frost.

I’m thinking maybe if we don’t make a serious effort, but if he picks Florida over us then we don’t want him anyway.

That is all.

Thanks for the link, weirdly complicated but footballscoop broke down his contract where upfront money brings it down.

Who would pay $8,100,000 for a sub .500 coach?

Yeah.  I corrected myself in that the buyout shown in my link is if a school fires the coach before 12-1-17.  So buyouts to get out of a contract by the coach could be different

Dang...interesting!  

I would think most Husker fans DO NOT want the Oregon job opening up.

Unless it's to hire back Chip Kelly

Yes, open up Oregon.  Take Florida off of the "Frost - gotta him list".   If I were Scott, I wouldn't take the Oregon job anyway - he'd be always compared to Kelly which is a much more recent coach to compare against vs comparing him to Tom.  At NU he'll be compared to MR, BP, BC, Frank.  He will be an immediate upgrade to those 4 IMHO.  At Oregon he comes back as the former OC, at NU he comes back as favored son and NC QB  besides all of the positives he is showing as a coach.  Roll out the :band

At this point, MR could end the season at 6-6 or 7-5 and I still think it is time for a change. I've seen enough after 3 years.
