He will make $43.5 million off Florida - $25.5 from salary, $12 million buyout, and $1 million per year (ending next year).
Oddly enough, if we'd only paid him his 2017 salary of $4.5 million per year, he'd have made $45 million at MSU. Obviously he would have gotten several raises from us, especially if he'd accomplished what he did at Florida while at MSU.
He'd be absolutely entrenched as the winningest Head Coach in MSU history, would probably not have screwed up 2018 and 2019, had better results than Leach (and I liked Leach), and would never have gotten us into the shitshow we see now. Not only that, he'd have his name on the stadium when he did decide to hang it up.
Instead, he went somewhere that paid him more, with a fanbase that's psychotic and ran him off after four seasons.
I get that he was leaving MSU regardless. That dumbass was going to take the Tennessee job before Florida stepped in. I'm just saying that the final result of what went down at Florida was obvious to anyone with half a brain. That program and fanbase are absolutely toxic.
