http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/2006-11-16-contract-provisions_x.htm •Cost of being a Michigan man: LSU's Les Miles must pay $500,000 to leave before his contract expires at the end of 2011 — $1.25 million if he leaves for Michigan, where he played, graduated with a degree in economics and coached under Bo Schembechler and Gary Moeller. •No more November surprises: Auburn pledges to Tommy Tuberville that neither the school president nor athletics director or anyone acting under their authority "shall discuss or negotiate directly or indirectly Auburn's prospective employment of any other person as Head Football Coach of Auburn" without giving Tuberville prior notice. That's to avoid a repeat of a messy 2003 episode in which then-President William Walker, athletics director David Housel and two Auburn trustees flew to Kentucky to talk to Louisville's Bobby Petrino two days before Tuberville coached the Tigers against Alabama. Says Tuberville: "This is a volatile job. It can be over before you know it — as I found out in 2003."
"An undefeated run to a national championship is effectively worth $1.18 million to Arizona State's Dirk Koetter ($1.05 million for a 12-0 regular-season finish, $125,000 for reaching the Bowl Championship Series title game and $5,000 for a final No. 1 poll ranking)." So if Arizona State loses the BCS title game, he loses out on a $5,000 payout. That is simply stupid. If Arizona State loses it, most people will not remember they were even in it 3-4 years later when they have a 5-6 record again. Give him most of the money only if they win it all....geez.
I guess Miles wont be going to Michigan...maybe Michigan State. I guess since Saban won a N.C. so quickly, the school is also hesitant in putting that "win the N.C. and you will be the highest paid coach in the country" deal in anybodies contract anytime soon.
