I can't find any details on salary or buyout, but it's fair to say it would be expensive to eat that contract right now. Jamie Dixon earned $2,320,887 in his last season, which is about on par with Stallings' pay at Vanderbilt.

There was an article in the Pittsburgh paper of record yesterday that compared where the program is now to where Boston College was a few years ago. They've managed to turn things around with some patience. That's a fair point, but Stallings has to recruit better than he has so far.
