Maybe not but he is from Arkansas which might be an appealing draw for him.
No big deal. We have a hell of a running back from Arkansas.Black Saturday wrote: ↑Mon Sep 22, 2025 2:59 pmOT, but Missouri has a hell of a running back, at least he was against SC
I just don’t see how NCSU would be able to pony up the cash to get rid of DD. I think his buyout is ~$17MM, so they may just have to grin and bear it.BambooRdApp wrote: ↑Mon Sep 29, 2025 1:38 pmWill need some deep pockets for the buy-out.
I think Florida would have terminated Billy. However, I do not believe the buy-out money is free flowing. As such, it may take some time for some of these schools given how much they (donors) are paying in NIL.
I do wonder if we are not starting to see the beginnings of some breakage in the current system. Alums have been footing so much of the college football bill for so long, and it just keeps getting more and more. It was one thing when schools just asked for money for scholarships and facilities, and the occasional buyout. Now schools keep asking for that as well as annual top dollar for NIL, I mean pay for play, and maybe it is getting too much. To see a school like UF, with a rich history in college football and plenty of money from SEC broadcasting, apparently struggling to raise the 21.7 million to fire Billy Napier (20-22) their most unsuccessful football coach in recent memory is really telling. Even Ron Zook (23-14) had a better record at UF and they ran him out of town, not to mention Muschamp (28-21), McElwain (22-12), and Mullen (34-15). The alums paid to send them all packing but now after NIL and everything else money seems to be getting tight and a coach that NOBODY wants is still no the sidelines.BambooRdApp wrote: ↑Mon Sep 29, 2025 1:38 pmWill need some deep pockets for the buy-out.

He is in first-year and we are 2-2 so I would not expect him to be.Black Saturday wrote: ↑Mon Sep 22, 2025 12:56 pmNo mention of DL on this short list, fwiw

No question that is why he is still there. I also think schools are going to have to set winning standards in deals to make losing a cause that voids the buyout. I just don't think a coach who is winning 30-40% of games should get paid 20M to go away.BambooRdApp wrote: ↑Mon Sep 29, 2025 1:38 pmWill need some deep pockets for the buy-out.

I have wondered why having a losing record should not be considered "cause" for some time. I get that it isn't written in the contract that way and the agents would push back, but there are very limited DI head coaching jobs and I think the school have a lot more power to insist on conditions then most realize. Schools should start insisting on an acceptable winning record and put it in the contract. I am not saying anything crazy like .800 or anything but there is no way any coach should be .500 or under at UF after 3 full years. At App, I would say maintain at least .700 after 3 years and forward, anything less should be for cause.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 29, 2025 2:15 pmNo question that is why he is still there.

This may be something that happens...Given the new paradigm in CFB now how valuable are "coaches" anymore. What was valuable previously was someone who could recruit, develop and sustain success. Now the value seems to like in the ablity to leverage current relationships with players and get them to your school. There is no time or space for development and retention. That said at schools not in the Big10/SEC after 3 years at an institution how do you leverage your connections outside of your school and therefore sustain success and how do you actually guage it?t4pizza wrote: ↑Mon Sep 29, 2025 2:27 pmI have wondered why having a losing record should not be considered "cause" for some time.

I do think Arkansas is different. I think pittman takes less as allegiance to university.ASUFan4863 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 29, 2025 1:55 pmI’m hearing of a possible negotiated buyout and retirement.
