Butch Davis' payout depends on if there was 'just cause'
Posted Jul 27, 2011
Former UNC head football coach Butch Davis was in the third year of a seven-year contract that paid him $315,000 annually when he was fired Wednesday. The university is responsible for paying out his contract if he was fired without 'just cause' which would add up to $2.3 million, which includes a $275,000 payout. But if the university can claim 'just cause' then Davis is owed a dime.
