Kevin Sumlin on the Hot Seat? Massive Buyout Says No

Kevin Sumlin on the Hot Seat? Massive Buyout Says No

Arizona's hire of Kevin Sumlin was widely applauded across college football. He was supposed to be the perfect fit for Heisman candidate Khalil Tate and push the Wildcats into Pac-12 South contention. Instead, after two weeks, he's already the subject of hot seat discussion.

Texas A&M fired Sumlin on Nov. 26, one day after Texas A&M finished the 2017 regular season with a 7-5 record, which ensured a fourth straight season with eight or fewer wins for the sixth-year head coach. And in doing so, Texas A&M was required to pay Sumlin a buyout of $10.4 million within 60 days of dismissal.

Seven weeks later, Arizona hired Sumlin as the replacement for Rich Rodriguez and gave him a five-year, $14.5-million contract that includes $2-million base salaries in 2018 and 2019, and  $3.5-million base salaries in 2020, 2021 and 2022. It also has an enormous buyout. If fired without cause in the first two years of the deal, Sumlin is owed $10 million. He's owed $5 million if fired in year three, $3 million in year four and $1 million in year five.

So while the Kevin Sumlin era at Arizona is off to a vomit-inducing start, given his eight-figure buyout through the 2019 season — and it's absurdly early to talk job security– it's highly unlikely he's anywhere near the hot seat.
