So you want millions in a college football coaching buyout? It may cost you your career

Mike Norvell officially avoided the buyout pit of college football coaching, extending his time at Florida State by at least another year.

For what it's worth. And we’re not talking millions.

“I love Florida State,” Norvell said in a statement Sunday. “And I am fully committed to this program and our shared goals.”

Odds are, it won’t last much longer. Nor will his perch among the elite of profession.

Of the Top 10 coaching buyouts in college football history, only two coaches returned to lead a different Power conference team: James Franklin (Virginia Tech) and Charlie Weis (Kansas).
