Holy carp.

"The pool of AD candidates already has a serious factor threatening to shrink the candidates pool: Turner Gill’s five-year, $10 million contract. The whole thing is guaranteed. No buyout."

Look for the new AD to give Gill a better contract after a 6-6 season. This $2.5mm/yr 6 year contract will have a buy out. Minnesota did the same thing with Brewster-- they gave him an extension to decrease the buyout.

Whatever happened to Thum? A few weeks ago he was apparently a top candidate for the job.
