twibnotes said:Gimme a break - context matters. Maybe Nussmeier would be productive under the right circumstances, but half of the last few pages are rightfully focused on the very real possibility that this team needs a new head coach. Doubtful Nuss would last such a change.
As for what they pay the coordinators, who cares. It means nothing if they don't get results.
There is absolutely no way Nussmeier gets fired this year along with the accompanying nearly $2 million buyout. I'll happily bet you plenty of cash on that.
EDIT: Looks like there may be an escape clause on the buyout for Nuss if Hoke gets fired. Obviously that changes things.
But frankly, if Hoke gets fired midseason, I would expect Nussmeier to take over as interim, and then probably stay on as either OC or QB coach.
