New Mexico to pay $825K buyout to football coach Bob Davie

The University of New Mexico will pay former football coach Bob Davie an $825,000 buyout over the next 30 months. School officials say Davie agreed to step down at the end of this season but the former Notre Dame coach won’t say whether the decision was mutual. The Lobos had a 2-10 record this season and Davie was 35-64 overall at New Mexico, though he twice guided the Lobos to bowl games and earned their first bowl victory in 10 years. The Albuquerque Journal reports the $825,000 deal for Davie was disclosed during a Board of Regents meeting.
