News Article: With Alabama’s season on brink, Avery Johnson is facing criticism and asking question

bamanut_aj · Mar 14, 2019

Been a while since we’ve had anyone care about basketball.....I’m trusting in AD Byrne. If CAJ gets/stays another year, so be it. If not, so be it. I’m hoping Byrne proves to be one of the more “well rounded” ADs we’ve had.

There’s one, but I doubt Greg will push for it if Avery is hesitant to take another job because of it.

I agree. Also, we keep talking about his buyout, but all, or nearly all, contracts call for mitigation, if the individual takes another job. No one else is going to pay him 3 million, but, if he took the Pelican job, for example, it would reduce the buyout substantially. In fact, common law principles would require him to attempt to find employment and mitigate damages, anyway. One semi-scam is when the new employer pays a nominal amount and the new employee continues drawing his buyout. (We've actually participated in that ourselves.)

I think our football coach has done this many, many times.
