Some interesting facts I noted from this source:
- Butch Davis has the 4th highest base salary in the NCAA. This is before he signed his new extension that takes his salary over 2 million annually.
- Tom O'Brien has to opportunity to make 850,000 in bonuses; the fourth highest amount in the NCAA
- Butch Davis is the second highest paid coach in the ACC and 13th highest paid in the NCAA
- Pete Carroll is paid all his salary up front. No bonuses or other sources of income.
After quickly going through Tom O'Brien's contract here are some quick points
- For every six year period when the football team's graduation rate is above 55% O'Brien receives $50,000.
- Every time NC State goes to a non BCS bowl O'Brien receives $50,000.
- Every time NC State goes to the ACC championship game O'Brien receives $100,000 dollars.
- Every time NC State wins the ACC championship or goes to a BCS bowl game O'Brien receives an additional $200,000 dollars
- TOB gets $50,000 dollars for winning 5 ACC games. Then he gets another $50,000 dollars for winning 6 games and again for 7 ACC wins. The bonuses for ACC wins cannot exceed $200,000.
- When NC State finishes the season ranked in the polls, TOB receives a bonus based on where in those polls they stand.
- TOB's buy out is equal to $360,000 X the number of years left on his contract. If TOB left today to accept another job he would have to pay State $2,160,000.
Personally I love TOB's contract. He gets paid a great annual salary but has the added incentive to make a ton of extra money if he graduates his players and gets the results on the field. Knowing how TOB cared before at BC about his players graduating and how he built a program that preformed as well as it did this year how can you help but not be excited.
