Question about Coaching Contracts

[Daseal]

Pat Kirwan talked about this yesterday on NFL radio. Basically he says what Bill B says. He used round numbers to make it easy, but basically we owe Saunders 2Mil/year for the remaining years on his contract. The other team pays whatever, and the skins get that credited to them. For instance, if they pay him 200,000 a year, Snyder writes a check for 1 mill 800,000.

He said that the other team COULD pay Saunders 50 cents, but owners probably aren't willing to do that to each other.

Thanks for the clarification.

Is there standard language in all of the coaching contract clauses that relates to "coaching football" or does it refer to "coaching football in the NFL"?

If Saunders had taken a job at a college as the Offensive Coordinator, would the Skins still get credit for whatever salary he earned there?

Just curious...
