I can't remember how much and what the terms of his buyout are, but I'm sure it's a big, big number whereby Sonny is in the catbird's seat to negotiate (like Jimbo Fisher- just not as much).
I happen to believe that TCU is a program that requires a running quarterback like Max or Trevone Boykin. Removing the threat of the QB taking off removes one key, critical ingredient and allows defenses to focus on other players.

Nick Saban. That's the replacement.
That is beyond Rhinoceros piss poor. Bad beyond imagination. Gary P will tell you Rhino Piss smells BEYOND bad.

Come on man! The game has passed these old traditional hard ass coaches by. He’s a has been. Can’t succeed in the NIL era……..
But WTH, let’s give the poor guy a shot. See if he can reinvent himself. I’m in.

I don't disagree at all. Legitimate dual-threats have clearly shown their value in the game overall.

At the end of this year, if TCU fired Sonny, he’d have approx $28m remaining on his contract thru ‘28. There are no hard numbers, but most believe Sonny is just shy of Gundy‘s contract at $7.5m/year.
In comparison, GP was paid $17.2m in his last year, of that, roughly $12m was a separation settlement.
For TCU to fire Dykes, the wheels will have to fall off, which is possible.
Something like maybe 5 wins, and lots of internal turmoil. Similar to GPs last year when his players made the N word accusation and other unflattering reports.…or maybe just 4 wins would do it.

Holy hell?!?!
We’re paying him that much?! Good god that is just astronomically asinine!! Really poor decision by the AD to give that extension. And before people start bagging on me about that, I’ll just say that all our AD had to do was look about 260 miles west and think back to about 6-8 years ago when Tech did the same thing to fairly mediocre results and a waste of money.

100% agree with you and Westover.
A solid dual threat QB who runs an RPO offense has great advantages, such as when the QB runs, he automatically has an extra blocker.
I‘m so curious to know what would happen if Hejny got more snaps, but at this point, they may just hang a redshirt on him. Who knows.

Congratulations, you'll be able to watch all of our conference football games from here on out. I cancelled it after basketball finished and now I can't watch the Kansas game unless I sign up again. I didn't expect we would have have games on there after Long Island. Somehow paying extra money to watch this team right now feels like a complete waste. If someone asked me to give him $10 in exchange for wasting four hours of time and leaving me angry and depressed I think I'd say no thanks.this is behind a paywall at espn + - I got it to watch the frogs this year - basketball now and baseball later.

From what I’ve seen his contract was extended 1 year thru ‘28, and Sonny is paid $7.5m per year for the remainder of the deal. I can’t prove it, but I know I’m in the ballpark. CFN thinks so too.
TCU’s ‘22 victory over OSU 43-40 was one of the benchmarks used.

My biggest concern about Hejny is him getting happy feet with a sophomore in front of him.

Man, he should’ve donated a lot more than $1MM

My question is how much better would our players be if we had a $4m coach, and the remaining $3.5m was put toward football NIL? I think they’d be quite a bit better.

Would we, though? If he gets hired this offseason he’ll be 69, and it will have been 10 years since he coached a college football team. A lot has changed since he coached his last game at Baylor in 2015: conference realignment, NIL, collectives, transfer portal, lots of new compliance rules, and soon revenue sharing. I think the broad hypothesis that he’d be a good coach in 2025 is not fully thought out. My 2 cents.

Too critical IMO. Sonny got a market raise after making the CFP. It was too much after one year, but it was consistent with what the (stupid) college coach market demanded. Donati did what any AD would’ve done, and probably what the BMDs told him to do. If the deal only goes through 2028, it’s not as bad as I would’ve expected. I doubt his contact is fully guaranteed, but I also bet his pay is more than $7M on average in the remaining years (probably $7.5M+) If true that there’s only 4 years left, I’d bet his buyout is around $20-25M. But there may be assistants with a couple million more in buyouts that would have to be paid, too.
I suspect Sonny gets another year. The economics are just a lot at this moment.
