I was surprised he wasn't gone after the Penn State game.
From AL.com:
"Should Auburn part ways with the embattled coach, his buyout as of Dec.
1 would be $15,277,500 — which comes out to 70 percent of the remaining
value on his contract.
That number would be slightly higher if Auburn were to make a coaching
change before the end of the regular season.
Harsin’s buyout as of Dec. 1 ranks 30th nationally among college
coaches, though it’s worth noting that not every program provided buyout numbers to USA Today. Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Arkansas were
among the SEC programs to not include buyout terms in the data provided
to USA Today. Without including Kiffin, Leach and Pittman — who all earn
more than Harsin this season — Harsin’s buyout is the eighth highest
among SEC coaches this year.
The league coaches with higher buyouts than Harsin as of Dec. 1 are
Smart ($103,104,167), Fisher ($86.7 million[OUCH!]), Kelly
($78,622,917), Saban ($43.2 million), Napier ($39,000,833), Stoops ($31,078,125) and Tennessee’s Josh Heupel ($25,833,333).
