Not sure if that applies to his K-State clause or not...
“So why not Leavitt as the interim? As noted yesterday, Leavitt’s contract has some very unique provisions; one of which is that the coach may not talk to any other university about open positions until all games – including a bowl game – have been completed. That essentially gives Mullens and the athletic department at least eleven days to decide on the fate of Leavitt. In addition, Leavitt’s contract is fully guaranteed for three more seasons. That means if Leavitt leaves, there is a buyout of $3.45 million; same if he is fired.”
