    Don’t expect changes in the head coaching positions at Clemson or Louisville any time soon – as in, like, the next freaking decade.

    Clemson locked down Dabo Swinney with a new six year, $31.75 million contract. And, there is a $6 million buyout this year, and a $5 million buyout next year.

    And Louisville secured Bobby Petrino with a new seven year deal through 2023. The contract is worth $30.6 million, or $4.3 million per year. It makes Petrino the ACC’s third highest paid coach behind Jimbo Fisher (who makes more than $5 million a year) and Swinney. Richt is fourth at Miami as he will make about $4 million annually.

    That’s a joke, right? Petrino’s never locked down anywhere.

    True enough, foose. But there are three differences this time around – not the same set of circumstances.

    1. The “second chance” factor following his Arkansas shenanigans. Louisville has really showed him a lot of love with the re-hire and now the extension.

    2. He tried out the NFL. Didn’t work and he couldn’t even last a year. He’a not going back.

    4. Money talks, and this contract dwarfs any of his previous college contracts. His last contract at Louisville paid him a little over $2 million annually. At Arkansas it was $2.8 million annually.

    Enough money for Bobby P to buy a new motorcycle and a new mistress.

    Bubble economy. Once enough cord cutters revolt this might go pop.
