Not only do the Cowboys NEED to win...

There is not. It is fully guaranteed compensation.

I looked up something to see if there was a drop. 70% compensation after year 3 so it would be a 1.5M, roughly buyout, but would rather have that money go towards other things

I believe after year 3 of Sawvel's contract their is an out that significantly drops his payout should it come to that point

There is not. It is fully guaranteed. The pay for all 5

It's wrong. The person who wrote that article got confused and was clearly not an attorney. That was the BUYOUT provision that Sawvel would have to pay if he left for another job.

However, we don't have to argue about something you read. The contract itself is a public document located here.

https://www.uwyo.edu/generalcounsel/_files/docs/transparency-initative/head-football-coach.pdf

Look at provision 12(f) which states that if Sawvel is fired without cause, he gets the entirety of the "Guaranteed Compensation" (which is defined to include all years) and "base compensation." Add $350,000 + $900,000 and that equals $1.25 million for each year of 2027 and 2028.

As much as a loss would be catastrophic for the program, a win could really be something to build on. To go into Fort Collins and shut up what will surely be an amped up CSU fanbase would be a damn nice way to set the tone for the remainder of the season.

I worry losing has become somewhat of a mentality in the program over these past two seasons. I'm not sure this coaching staff really believes in themselves or their players to get the job done on the field. That kind of thing can be a program destroyer.

The time for excuses are over. I don't care what injuries we carry into this game. I don't care if the refs make a bunch of horseshit calls against us. Just win the damn game. Sawvel's coaching career is literally on the line.

I truly don’t believe Sawfull understands his job is on the line.

I truly don’t believe Sawfull understands his job is on the line.

You might be right, but it seems almost impossible to me.

Even if Burman assured him the he was going to stick with him through his entire 5-year deal no matter the outcomes on the field, there is a pretty decent chance Burman isn't the AD at Wyoming after this football season. If a new AD comes in, I just don't see any plausible scenario where they think keeping Sawvel as HC is a reasonable way to move forward.

A guy can dream.
