Is his buyout similar to Crean and Archie in that any future earnings offset buyout payments?  Because if so and we hired him as DC, would he have to work for free?  

They negotiated it to a lesser payout over 2 payments so I highly doubt that it depends on future employment now.

Indeed this is the case. Or at least it is from what I've read. His lessened buyout is guaranteed and not mitigated by future earnings.

About the only incentive to get him to take a lesser amount.

Well hell, I only wanted him back if he was free.  Enjoy USC Tommy

I thought I saw that USC poached UCLA’s DC.

I think this could work very well for both of them.  As a DC only, he can focus just on that and this is an area I think he can flourish again.  I know his defenses got weaker when he became the DC again here but I wonder if he was stretched too thin as HC.

100% to your last point. He is not capable of that much responsibility at once. I think he’ll have no problem keeping them on the same level that Diaz had them on.

I wonder which old friends we will see follow CTA to Penn St?  Shelby and Teegardin wouldn't surprise me.

Allen will have enough talent at Penn St to hide his deficiencies.

Not sure what this means, but how do you hide deficiencies against the UM's, OSU's, and USC's on the schedule. He'll either succeed or he won't, but at a big time program like PSU, you're not just going to fool everyone and "hide his deficiencies" .

Alright this rocks.
