Seriously, this makes no sense. If they fired him, he would've gotten $32 million. Why would he accept less?

I think that he is such an egomaniac that he honestly feels that with another year and him personally calling the plays, he can completely turn the program around and everyone will love him again.

Then again, it takes big money at the house to run the Gus bus. He might be figuring that since AU had the Brinks truck back up to his front door last year, he already knows he's got a sucker on the line. He might be rolling the dice and hoping to win 9 or 10 games then beat Bama and/or GA next year and get a 10-15 year, $70 to $105 million dollar contract extension tacked onto his current one. He already knows it's not out to the question with who the group running the show and calling the shots at AU. He figures, give a little right now to stay in the game and potentially get a lot more later. When his buyout eclipses $100 million, then he can retire in style. Go Gus!

Never saw a conclusive, definitive report or info about what he did or didn't do. Lot of rumors and reports but no one, to my knowledge, saying "This is how is it is now."

Not that what was reported probably isn't true. Someone with knowledge leaked all that, either the agent or a Trustee member. But no one I've seen has given any firm statement. President Leath is an idiot, the Board clearly has some divisions or issues, and the AD is a figurehead.

The AU braintrust is hoping all this blows over and goes away. School is done on the 14th for the break and then it'll be basketball season. Auburn officials are great at screwing up, looking stupid and then waiting for it to blow over. They did the same with the softball scandal.

By January or February, any news media asking about it will be met with silence again or "That's in the past, we're moving forward. Why do you have to be negative?"

Urban wants no part of facing Saban every year. Or any of the other SEC schools for that matter.


"Cull" is just another four letter word...

To go back to your OP, I think like any head coach he believes he can make it right. Whether that's with him calling the plays, a new OC, or whatever, he's confidence is higher than anyone else's. Until they whack him he's going to maintain that, especially publicly.

Can he? Dunno. Three O-Coordinators in seven seasons is stupid unless you're Saban and they're winning titles and going off to be HCs somewhere else.

As for accepting less money, if he really did, that happens sometimes in the big biz world. CEO of Company AU has a bad year or two. Board whacks his pay, withholds a bonus, says he's docked 10 percent or whatever. He agrees instead of acting like a jackass and getting fired. Happens again, he knows he's gone. He rights the ship for 2-3 years and then maybe leaves or stays for another contract extension.

But yes, it's weird to see that happening in college athletics if he indeed did take a pay cut to stick around.

Any of y'all ever been fired. I haven't but know several close friends who have. It is hard on peoples confidence, esteem, pride, etc. I bet my friends would have taken a pay cut instead of being fired. And yes, they were given severance,though it was not near 32 million.

It would be hard to hurt my feelings if you gave me 32 million to leave.

These stories make me wish newspapers weren't dead. Not that I know anything but we may never know "why?" If the info is correct both sides are maroons. Jimmy Sexton knows the truth but I don't think he'd say anything.


Only hits count.

I struggle putting much confidence in what is reported by many outlets from the so called "media"....if Gus and Jimmy agreed to restructure the contract I have to believe it benefitted them as much as AU.....Sexton is no fool.....

It's also possible they found a way around the buyout but it may not be simple and may involve lawsuits. A new deal may simplify it and could benefit both sides without lawyers making millions off the court battle. At least that's one of the rumors.

Yet Urban beat saban the only time they played each other while he was at Ohio State, but I’m sure you’re right. 🙄

Gus wanted more money for hookers and JUCO qb's so that his buddy Hugh would take the job. Makes sense to me....
