Wait... Did they actually fire him for cause to avoid a buyout? Or did they fire him because he wouldn't accept a renegotiated contract and still have to pay the buyout?

I can't imagine that they'll get out of this without paying a buyout.

Has his old contract expired?

And where's the cause? Refusing to sign a new contract because one side doesn't like the proposed pay scale isn't cause.

Pat Fitzgerald, Tim Beckman, and Mel Tucker were all sacked for cause. Captain Kirk should have been. I'm no lawyer, but I'm not seeing cause here.

Weird.  Maybe they had some goods on him, thus the fired for cause.

I don't understand at all what is the point of the original article.

It's not unprecedented for a coach to give up a big buy out to buy himself an extra year.  Jim Harbaugh at Michigan is a great example of this working out great for the coach after 2020. But  In most cases,  it ends up saving the school a lot of money because the coach ends up getting fired a year later,  but to the coach it was worth it because he would rather have the extra year.

But I don't understand how the Mike Gundy situation was any different.  It was all a negotiation.   Until Gundy took the new deal,  OSU would have had to pay the buyout to fire Gundy today,  right?
