It’s safe to say that Arizona coach Sean Miller’s career is in major jeopardy right now, but if this is the end, he’s at least in line to get a big payday.
According to ESPN’s Darren Rovell, Miller’s contract with Arizona is structured in such a way that he’ll be owed roughly $10 million of the $12 million left on the deal, even if he is fired for cause.
If Sean Miller gets fired for cause, the way Arizona has written his deal, he would still get roughly 85% of the money he has remaining ($10.3M out of $12M). That’s a virtually unprecedented take for a for cause firing. Most coaches get $0.

Considering the activities that Miller allegedly took part in, being fired for cause looks like a very real possibility. On the other hand, the Wildcats may want to see if they can negotiate that figure down.
