UCLA has a history of ridiculous buyouts.  Alford's was over $10 million.  Mora's is $14.76 million.  No lie:

Poor Jim Mora.  In addition to his paltry severance terms, Mora is going to have such a hard time making his $930K/year in performance-based bonuses!  These are based on such comically unachievable objectives as the following:
- achieving a Graduation Success Rate of 56% (can they set the bar a little lower?!) ($25K/season)
- winning 6 games (?!) ($10K)
- appearing in the CCG ($50K)
- winning the CCG ($50K)
- winning PAC-12 Coach of the Year ($50K)
- winning National Coach of the Year ($100K)
- appearing in any Bowl game ($40K)
- appearing in an NY6 Bowl game ($100K)
- appearing in the CFB Playoff ($100K)
- appearing in the CFB Championship game ($150K)
- winning the CFB Championship game ($200K)

Poor, poor Jim Mora.  So unfair to him!  His agent should be mocked and ridiculed for doing this awful contract extension on the heels of UCLA's exhilarating and immensely well coached 8-5 season in 2015!

Seriously, as a State taxpayer that may at some point have kids in the UC system, and as a Stanford football fan, I move that UCLA be forced to ride out the contract rather than pay Mora 80% of his remaining comp, pay severance to Mora's assistants, pay a search firm, and pay the new coach.
