The university would owe Dooley $5 million, or roughly $102,040 per month, through December 2016. Offensive coordinator Jim Chaney would be owed about $645,000, spread over monthly payments through December 2013.
That money is guaranteed, meaning any future employment wouldn't affect their payouts from Tennessee.
I cannot verify Dooleys contract stipulations but I can tell you have seen many high profile contracts with sports figures where the employer normally has some type of clause in the contract that if the employee leaves for any reason and obtains employments of either a greater or lesser amount of pay there is a sliding scale to determine the employee termination pay. What difference does it make Haslam has already agreed to write Dooley a $5M just to get him to leave.
Total BS!!!
You don't know what Haslam has agreed to do and he might have said he's tired of coaching buyouts and UT has to deal with it however they can figure it out.
Haslam just spent $1 Billion on a NFL team so he has lots more important things on his mind than to worry about UT football all the time especially after we've been a mess now for 10 years.
Most businesses are now having to totally restructure their employees working times to try and move more people to less than 30 hours working to keep from losing loads of money on the new healthcare scam that won't be stopped now.
This horrid economy and the new higher taxes that are coming at all of us and at all businesses are not condusive to wealthy people throwing much money around to any charity especially when they do NOT know if the new tax code will change donations status and no longer be a tax write off.
VFL...GBO!!!

Fun fact - If Jim Haslam spent $5 mil / year, assuming he gained or lost nothing off his investments and taxes weren't a factor (lol, I know), it would take him 240 years to go through his dough.
Of course, this is assuming his estimated net worth of $1.2 Bil is correct.
