FWIW:

AD TStan already has money for the $13M buyout....(He has $50M more than the original $125M AI 2020 goal)

The question becomes does the Donors and others on the "inside" circle demand that part of the $175M be used to buyout ($13M) on Geoff Collins. My guess it will not happen unless they have another coach already lined up (George Godsey, Bill O'Brien, Ken Wisenhunt) FWIW I do not see a scenerio where Tech hires a CPJ disciple as after CPJ dismissal or should I say buyout the Athletics Initiative 2020 exceeded the goal of 125M buy 40%. So fans do not want to watch option football even if it means "winning" Orange Bowls and ACC Titles...

From the article:
As the Athletics Initiative 2020, Georgia Tech athletics three-year, $125-million fundraising initiative, far surpassed its initial goal by raising a total of $175.39 million in gifts and commitments, director of athletics Todd Stansbury announced on Thursday.
