And maybe I didn't read it correctly, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.... but did Deboers buyout decrease?

I could've sworn it was much more.

That's the amount Bama gets if he leaves early.

On the contract extension and raise, some may have forgotten, but this was coming either way. From December...

So the buyout should he be terminated hasn’t changed?

Not substantially, if any, in terms of amount. But, the likelihood of him being "fired" is very low. Most likely, he will either be here for a while (which means he's winning and things go well) or he will take an off ramp to another job (college or pro).

Here’s the buyout numbers for those interested-

UA would owe DeBoer if fired before…

February 1, 2027: $67.5 million
February 1, 2028: $56.25 million
February 1, 2029: $45 million
February 1, 2030: $33.75 million
February 1, 2031: $22.5 million
February 1, 2032: $11.25 million

Dang! I wish all of us would get a two million dollar raise. Big time money being tossed around college football for head coaches. Best of luck sir!

Only thing I wished is for a higher buyout if he decides to leave to another school otherwise I'm happy to have him extended.

Why is my PTSD from the Shula extension flaring up?

I knew this was coming, but we’ve continually heard wait until year 3 for results. It’s odd we extend before we even get there. Just my uneducated thoughts.

 

[EasyTider]

At least we weren’t humiliated in 2 of our final 3 games last year……………

I evaluate years 1 & 2 as C-

I remember 2024 vandy, ok, & Michigan games
2025 FSU, sec championship game, & Indiana games. Not so much the loss but pathic performances. Embarrassing performance

I remember the 2025 Running game which was worse i ever remember a bama team performance

I know 2-0 vs AU & LSU ( these at weakest times)
2-1 vs UGA. Etc
Those are job " keepers "
Barely

But. A 20% raise. And massive buyout.
Give me a F@@king break

Just barely....lol

It's a little bit of a unique situation... He had 2 major schools (PSU and UM) come after him... both wanted him, both would have "officially" offered him if given the chance. Those were not false flag exercises orchestrated by Sexton, they were real. If it had only been Penn State that came after DeBoer, maybe nothing happens on UA's end of things. But having both of those schools try and pry him away? Something was going to get done. They hammered out the framework in December, but unfortunately, Bama got run by Indiana which left some stink over everything and the announcement got shelved. I know some fans will say that at that point, the deal should have been off, but that ain't how it works. Nor should it be for a serious institution.

As for the terms... This new extension does give UA a little bit more protection on the buyout too, up from $4 to $10 million, if DeBoer leaves. That may not sound like a lot, and in the grand scheme it isn't, but it is a better deal for UA's side. It's just enough to give Bama some significant compensation while also allowing DeBoer an out if things get rough. Because like I've said yesterday and previously, he does not want to get fired.
