Again, there's a long way to go and we'll see how the season goes before we fire anybody, but you have to consider this:
*You owe DeMontie Cross up to 600K
*If you fire Odom, you owe him 1.35 million
*If you fire Odom it means you fire Heupel and you owe him up to 700K
That's 2.65 million you'd be paying people NOT to coach before you pay somebody a dime to actually coach the team. I know you'll say "We're in the SEC, 2.65 million is nothing, so the F what?" But that's not dealing in reality either.
Oh by the way, they'll owe the school some $47 million for the SEZ project and they're going to be hitting donors up for that too. Only so many times you can ask people for money.
Not saying it would prevent a change from being made, but I think it's got to be considered.
