And of course with the finances of our program, the length left on his contract will be directly proportional to whatever heat he does or does not face, along with the performance of the team. Anybody know how long the current contract runs for?

I thought his original contract was for 3 years. I assume it was extended but have no clue for how long. I think it is very unlikely we would be in a position to pay for a buy-out. According to the State of Arkansas site, Darrell's salary is 250K. Balado's at ASU is 375K. Don't know about incentives or non-State money that may be provided by boosters, but it does look like we are getting a "bargain". Not sure we want to get into the coaching market if we can avoid it. Although Darrell's salary is likely more commensurate with what most schools in the OVC pay their coaches.
