I misread it my bad. Or it’s possible he transposed them. I’m all for rewarding success but I don’t think there’s a bonus structure this aggressive for any coach in any sport.

I don't know about that, I'm surprised by some of the stuff in some coach's contracts.

So you’re so connected you’ve seen the contract that hasn’t been released yet?

No. I knew the amounts that some people were talking about and more detailed structure info about the contract was released on Twitter. I kinda thought the $2.6 would include raises for the coaches, tbh.

His numbers match those that have been reported. It would work out to a > $1 mill bonus for CWS champ. Surprising, but would Tennessee pay a mill for a championship? 🤔

I think the key word concerning the bonuses is “base pay”. I’ve not seen a breakdown of his contract but typically the base pay on the contracts are considerably lower than the overall total package. For example, of Heupel’s $4 million salary, “only” $275,000 is considered base pay.

You're probably right. Probably endorsement deals and stuff in there. I would say the percentage of base pay is much higher than in a large revenue sport like football though.

I was typing this waiting to take off then lost my ground internet connection. Under his old contract it was 32% of his base pay of $300k instead of the full $600k he was paid. Had he not forgone/postponed it as part of the pandemic shortfall he was due $96k in 2021 for making Omaha. So I didn’t see anyway that would change. Under this new deal it would give him the opportunity to push $300k in bonuses with the APR piece (32% of $350k and 40% of $350k).

Heard something about them getting the contract out of the way and then continuing to work on renovations. In an interview, TV said that UT kept asking him about meeting on the reno, but he was always out recruiting.
