If agent Jimmy Sexton's top 5 money earning college head coach clients (including Kalen DeBoer of Alabama) were fired without cause, the combined buyout total would be 340 million dollars.

Nick Saban was (and is) a Jimmy Sexton client but never figured into that math because he didn't have a buyout clause in his contract when he was coaching.

Sexton made up for it when he negotiated a massive buyout for DeBoer that Bama never should have agreed to. They wanted to look brisk and decisive in replacing Saban and paid accordingly.
