During the midpoint of any college football season, the coaching job-security rumors swirl with a frequency akin to the fiercest of hurricanes.

While many fans think it’s as easy as snapping one’s fingers to get rid of a coach, huge buy-outs sometimes complicate these matters. For instance, if Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz were to be relieved of his duties after this season, he’d still be owed $25 million.

Brent Schrotenboer and Steve Berkowitz of USA TODAY came out with a piece Wednesday in which it details the buy-out numbers for each college football program.

The annual salaries for head coaches within the SEC can be found here. Below are the buy-out totals for each individual:

Nick Saban (Alabama): $23,266,668

Bret Bielema (Arkansas): $15,400,000

Gus Malzahn (Auburn): $8,950,000

Jim McElwain (Florida): $9,375,000

Kirby Smart (Georgia): $13,500,000

Hugh Freeze (Ole Miss): N/A

Les Miles (LSU): $8,958,333 (although Miles is no longer the coach in Baton Rouge)

Mark Stoops (Kentucky): $14,041,667

Dan Mullen (Mississippi State): N/A

Barry Odom (Missouri): $1,912,500

Will Muschamp (South Carolina): $9,496,667

Butch Jones (Tennessee): $10,625,000

Kevin Sumlin (Texas A&M): $15,416,667

Derek Mason (Vanderbilt): N/A

As detailed by Schrotenboer and Berkowitz, coaches can get fired one of two ways: by not winning enough games, or for legal cause (such as breaking NCAA rules).

As it pertains to SEC coaches, the only two appearing on the proverbial hot seat would be Stoops and Mason. As one can see, Kentucky would Stoops quite a bit of money.

Other notable buy-outs for programs across the country include Ohio State head man Urban Meyer ($27,434,457), Oklahoma leader Bob Stoops ($24,790,000), and Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh ($25,555,556).
