with all the money they owe him if he is fired it would be hard to imagine he would walk away from that, but at the same time if the right offer came and it had a fresh 5 year guarantee and the same stupid money it would be hard to think he would not consider it
in the short term so much money is eaten up by taxes that lasting for another year or two can really matter in the long term finances of what you actually keep and if the tax laws pass well again at least for a few years he might be keeping more money so it would make sense to look at career longevity especially if the overall pay was about the same and the contract guarantees were the same or longer
Jobs that pay as much as A&M are few and far between. What schools would you suggest?
UCLA could be an option
or one of the AZ schools
while none of them currently pay what A&M does if he thinks he is year to year with A&M and he can get a fresh 5 years with any of the others I think he would consider it
if you are looking at getting $5 million a year for one more year (after this one) and possibly getting fired well you cut 39% off of that and you are at $3,050,000
if you can get a guaranteed $4 million at any of the above well you are looking at 39% of $12 to $20 million and possibly more if the tax laws get it down to 35% and depending on the years guaranteed
either way facing getting fired after 1 more season for $5 million and probably starting over as a coordinator or taking a couple of years off and seeing if anyone will hire you Vs moving for a guaranteed $12 million to $20 million over 3 to 5 years......and if you get 9 wins at any of those places your first year or 8 wins with a "big win" you might get another year tacked on guaranteed
I think none of the SEC SEC SEC schools would consider him although Ole' Miss MIGHT if they get desperate I don't think that Tennessee, Arkansas or Auburn (if they make a switch) would
Missouri MIGHT consider him as well and could come up with $4 million per year especially if they thought he had the "Texas connection" and Kansas might be a LONG SHOT there as well if Rummy had his agent really putting the feelers out and if Kansas could maybe get him for under $4 million guaranteed and they believed the "Texas connection" was there for recruiting
looking at the last hire of Nebraska and his record Vs Rummy hell he would be a step up in overall record and experience and again the "Texas recruiting" and they can pay what he makes at A&M easily
