The entire problem comes from a lack of accountability from anyone involved. Dylan Stewart should be fired for bad behavior. Beamer fired for poor performance. Donati should be fired for giving the ridiculous contract extension. Any Board member who signed off on it should be asked to resign.
Beamer may get fired and paid $28mm. Dylan Stewart will get drafted into the pros and get a big payday too.
There will be no lessons learned and the same people will make similar (bad) decisions in the future. That is the true Chicken Curse.

So we’re looking at anywhere from 37 to 42 million dollars spent in about 6 years to just make mediocre to poor coaches go away, on top of the millions in salary that they were paid while here. Muschamp was paid 32 million in salary and buyout; Bamer has been paid about 26M. If we pay his buyout, we are looking at at least 80 million dollars being paid over the course of 11 years. While I do blame the coaches for the poor results for the paid salary, I don’t blame them for the buyouts – that was good negotiating on the part of their lawyers, and piss poor judgment on the part of our ADs and Board of Directors.

Man I hope we don’t wind up paying yet another coach not to coach…
Hope all you want, but it isn’t going to happen. Beamer will be lucky to finish out the season.

Beamer for Coach of the Year!
Can’t we all just “wait until next year”?
“Okay team, meet the new coach that needs to be fired, same as the last coach that needed to be fired.”
