Strong Contract

[Orlando Bull]

Taggart's extension he just signed last year was a 5-year, $9M deal. So, Texas can't do a whole lot about it I don't think, it's in line with what we are able to pay since they didn't support us getting into the B12... I wish there was some sort of clause in there that if we get to the B12, his salary would double...wonder if that would get them on our side.

Curious as to who all he is planning on bringing over that was on his Texas staff. Hopefully he doesn't mess with the O too much.

There is a $2.4 million salary pool available to USF’s assistant coaches (the pool was $1.9 million in Taggart’s original contract). An additional $100,000 will be available next July 1. The assistant’s salary pool graduates to $2.6 million on Jan. 1, 2017, and increases by $100,000 at the start of each year.

Some of his assistance have a similar contract to Strong so we are likely back loading their contracts as well.

This has to be true. Taggart had $2.4M for assitants.

 

Brad beat me to it.

He has a Briles protege that knows his stuff.  I would hope he is bringing that guy along. I am sure he is.

I still like the idea of paying him in Publix subs or wings better, but I guess this is good. Maybe the Texas booster came along to deliver the message that one million/yr until severance pay ends was their floor to avoid litigation.

The more I look the more I like it.  Does anyone see a problem with any of this?

Props to Harlan.

So his total comp for years 1 and 2 is something in the neighborhood of 4.5 million because of his Texas buyout? They're entitled to half of his new salary, right? 

Looks like a good deal for us. Gives us some time to put away some cash for a huge extension if he does well by year 3. 

No, his total Comp would be 5.5 mill. (5 from texas) + (1 from USF) -(500k back to Texas.)

We need to get attendance up!

Correct, so his base pay for years 1 & 2 is 500K. 

We still pay him 1 mil. He just has to give have 500k back to Texas.
