I think it's common to have some sort of offsetting language in coach contracts if they get a new gig. Someone would have to file a FOIA to find out for sure though. Although USF is very familiar with the tactic of backloading a contract to fuck Texas.

March 22Mar 22 Going to be stuck with a coach that does well enough to not be fired but isn’t going to win a title.

March 22Mar 22 As the husband of a die hard Zona hoops fan, I’m telling you guys are going to learn to loathe Sean Miller. He’s a shit human being who bitches about everything and underperforms to expectations. He’s a terrible hire.

March 22Mar 22 Who is the better hire next year that is worth tanking a season for that we aren’t willing to pony up for now?
March 22Mar 22 Rod, we can't find a suitable replacement for you but by all means stick around another year for us, will ya?

If the Texas money people open up their wallets, we can get pretty much anyone. The question then becomes how much money we have to spend.

Seems just as true today as a year from now. Unless we think being forced to watch one more year of RT Texas Basketball will make them willing to spend more, which is plausible I guess.
March 22Mar 22 6 minutes ago, Hank_Hill said: Nowhere, they clearly don’t. I’m curious what people think is going to change next season that makes another year of RT worth it. No, another year of RT isn’t worth it—not at all. We are seeing what the consequence is of valuing perception over making a hard decision. RT should have never been hired, even after that run.

Wasn’t the lone hang up with him was that he wanted Mack gone before he took over and Patterson said he’d can Mack’s ass?
