QB change

I'm not sure Tom Brady could win with our current offensive coaching staff.

I'm not sure why people keep saying this. The buyout is paid over a number of years. Between the money we saved on the year from Cal to Pope and assuming the next football coach doesn't make a year what Stoops does, the department can pretty easily pay a buyout. Especially when you consider the loss of revenue that will come if we have an awful year and DON'T fire him.

Actually nope, the buyout has to be paid in a lump sum within 60 days if he’s fired without cause.

That being said, UK can recoup that with renewed enthusiasm, increased ticket sales and the fact whoever they hire will come in millions cheaper than Stoops. So I really don’t understand why people think his buyout is an obstacle. There’s about a billion dollars worth of capital projects going on around that campus, maybe not that much but definitely hundreds of millions. Money shouldn’t be the issue and I think that’s blown out of proportion.
