Depends on how the contract is structured but it sounds like Kelly's is almost 100% payout if he is terminated early. Pretty good deal for him! They are paying Ed Orgeron almost $17 million not to coach them anymore on top of that.
Clay Helton is being paid $12 million not to coach USC and they are also paying OU something like $4.5 million to buy out Riley's contract.
It's nuts.
