Bryan Harsin

[220reb]

He is available and here's his Buyout from Auburn. Hopefully we can get a decent discount since he getting BIG $$$$ from an SEC school. Lol

Harsin will receive $15.3 million (70% of the remaining amount on his contract) for his buyout. Half of that is due within 30 days to be followed by followed by four annual payments of the remaining balance, according to 247Sports' Brandon Marcello. Auburn is still paying off Malzahn's buyout of $21.5 million as it embarks on yet another coaching search.

Pretty sure UNLV wouldn't be required to buy out Auburn. If anything, they'd just subtract the amount that Auburn has to pay him out from the cost of his new contract at UNLV, but who knows.

They are paying multiple payments to 2 coaches now. Anyways I would talk to him.

Doesn't it depend on the contract wording? If he has to forfeit his remaining payments in order to coach it would mean he would give up $1.75 a year to coach. I imagine he could make sense of coaching if he got say $ 3 mil+ ( meaning he would get $ 1.25 mil over what he would have made for playing video games and traveling the world) He would also have to factor in the fate of nearly every UNLV football coach.

That's fair. It word depend on the wording, but I've never heard of a contract where the school fires you, then is totally off the hook, even if you take a lower paying job. Typically just a difference in the salary

if Auburn owes him $5/million per year, and he take a job for $1million, Auburn pays him $4/million for the duration which in this case looks like it’s 4 years.

People are getting confused on buyouts here. The only time a hiring school would pay the old school a buyout is if they hire the coach away while he is still employed and has a buyout in his contract like what ISU paid to UNLV to hire its BB coach.

But if he didn't coach at all he still gets $ 5 mil. He's working for free unless he gets a contract over $ 5 mil.

Guys like Harsin want to remain "in the game" in some capacity. Herman was on TV to keep his name out there.

The last thing guys with ambition want to do is to get out of their profession for a long time. That would be occupational suicide since others could swoop in on their previous relationships.

While he may be working for free, so to speak, he's getting publicity and being active with HS coaches, other coaches, etc.

What Is Bryan Harsin’s Buyout?​

Since Harsin was (presumably) fired without cause before his contract expired on Dec. 31, 2026, he’s now due a buyout equal to 70% of the remaining value.

His prorated buyout is approximately $15.8 million, comprised of approximately $800,000 due for the remainder of 2022 and $15 million due from 2023-26.

If Bryan Harsin would’ve left before his contract expires, he would’ve owed Auburn a buyout:

• 2022: $5 million
• 2023: $3 million
• 2024: $2 million
• 2025: $1 million

That buyout became relevant as several college football insiders believed Harsin could be a candidate at other Universities.

His buyout is the same thing as Malzahn. Auburn still has to pay him 70% of his contract even if he takes a new job. It must be nice to have boosters with deep pockets.

 

[rebswin2]

If auburn has boosters with that cash to pay, imagine what Alabama has. Auburn is just a little school out in the country.

From someone who lived there - Auburn has nearly unlimited Booster money. Many hundreds of $millions.

Cam Newton knows that all too well.

Considering how much money is coming in from NIL deals, I believe the NCAA needs to apologize to any player, coach, or school punished for infractions. Getting a free meal throw the book at them, get $1 million cash and that is now OK!

Harsin isn't always the easiest guy to work with, and he's not the chummiest with the media. Always makes me think of what Mizzou HC and former BSU OC Eli Drinikwitz said about him (CBS Sports, Dennis Dodd, 2/27/2020):

"Drinkwitz's two versions of Harsin, now the game's eighth-winningest active FBS coach.

"'Hars' is a hell of a guy," Drinkwitz said, "'Bryan' is a dickhead. Whichever one shows up to work, you know what the rest of the day is going to be like.

"If 'Hars' walks in, you're like, 'This is going to be a great day.' When 'Bryan' calls you a mother f'er on third down because you didn't get a conversion, here we go. Put your hard hat on.""

Some great coaches are complete assholes. Some great coaches are nice guys.

I think whoever we end up with needs to be able to work the community so they need to have a public facing personality that's more Hars. How they handle their staff doesn't matter with results.
