    I agree. What's the buy-out (if you know)?

    Buy out not in @gatormonk's article.

    Thamel added that the annual salary will make Freeze one of the highest-paid Group of 5 coaches.

    I respect Freeze for staying loyal to the school that gave him a second chance at coaching.

    If Hugh is smart, he’ll coast at Liberty for 8 or 10yrs, then ride off to the beach loaded. He would be foolish to make the jump to a pressure cooker now, imho. At this rate, I don’t know why more coaches don’t go this route, but I do know why..

    Hugh says :emoji_thumbsup: to $5mil per.

    Crazy money for a non contender. Wonder what their NIL money is like.

    Yea, why would you go to Auburn where you got both arms tied behind your back and the board of trustees taking turns kicking you in the nads?
