SeattleUte has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Default Fired coaches who give up

In a perfect world Tyrone Willingham, Mike Holmgren and Phillip Fulmer would be liable to their employers for breach of contract. No heart. I wonder if they're depressed. I don't say that frivolously.

write the football coaches' contracts. They get paid whether they are working or not. Great little gig if you can pull it off.

All-American is an unknown quantity at this point

Many of the coaches are "encouraged" to quit. Crowton, for example, was told that he would be fired if he didn't "resign"-- as was Ron McBride, who refused to go quietly.

It's a lot less a breach of contract than it is euthanasia.

So not a bad resignation.
