They get negotiated all the time from the original. Most are put together assuming you don't get fired or resign with multiple games left on the schedule. Plus years removed can change the opinions of the original agreement.
Essentially Jones is trying to get as much of his buyout as he can get without having his coaching rep further dirtied up by losing to more SEC doormats.
He could also agree to leave for a smaller lump sum payment rather than getting multiple smaller payments over years. I'm not sure but if another school hires him do they have to pay his remaining buyout? If so, that would be incentive enough for him to take a reduced buyout because who would pay 8 mil for him now.
