Of course they will. The pay is enormous, and every coach at that level believes they are the exception.
Its like elite players and playing time in BB — no great player is worried that they will get sufficient playing time no matter who else is on the team.

I think we will see higher salaries and reduced buyouts for leaving or being fired.

The last guy fired had a no offset buyout. Why is that going to change?

I have no issue with the mitigation clause in concept. I haven't seen his specific clause, but it would probably require him to actively search for another job in line with his credentials.

That, of course, can be open to interpretation and I don't know how the clauses are general interpreted. I'd be interested to see what he's required to do. Can he be forced to take a crappy job (that may not pay much) or vice versa, is he forced to only take the highest paying job possible to mitigate PSU's damages? I don't know.

But, if he chooses to use this as early retirement, or wants to pursue his passion as a barista that does latte art, Penn State wouldn't have to pay him and I think I'm okay with that.

Seems like they have created a monster with the 12 team playoff system. When it was 2 or even 4 teams most people understood that they had to be near perfect to get selected and that was very hard. Now teams with multiple losses get into the tournament and there is an expectation that you need to get in and you should win if you are in.
 
I don't know if his seat is hot but a nice reaction nevertheless, blasting a BC reporter

O’Brien responded to a question posed by a Mike. A bcu alum O’Brien mentioned shows up once a month with all these negative questions. Sounds like someone from New London county.

based on the twitter replies, I think it was Mike Gualtieri

I’m surprised. I guess they figure they are pretty far down on the list and anyone they hire is a risk. Plus they don’t want the buyout on top of all that.

He took a team with a nationally renowned identity as a smash mouth offense that can run the ball down your throat. While they weren’t the best overall team in the country, they belonged in the conversation for top rushing offense in the country. He blew that all up to run an offense just like practically everyone else. Never understood that decision.
