Nope. I just thought you were inferring that he had been canned, and if so, just wanted it laid out. I have no idea what is going on.

I highly doubt we’d hear anything before Monday, if they’re even financially able to make a change at this point.

Watched some of the game. Seeing the difference between Coach Nielson on the sidelines and Hendrickson shows how far the program has fallen. One clearly commands the sideline and has an identity. The other seems lost, out of touch, unsure, and clueless. I’m interested because some have mentioned negotiating a buyout. How does that work? What’s in it for Myers Hendrickson to step down? Wouldn’t this be proposing a plan to quit and take less money overall?

Usually the way a "buyout" works in most places is that the school continues to pay the coach until the end of their contract, but inform the coach that their services are no longer needed. It's possible some do it all in a "lump sum" (the remainder of the contract money), but for the most part, the coach gets what the contract says they are supposed to get.
