Bill Clark Contract
Has Coach Clark's contract been approved by board? Any specifics... Salary, length, incentives, buyout.

RE: Bill Clark Contract
I did Google and there was nothing. I thought I might have missed a post on the topic. I assumed Drew Champlin would be the first to report once it is official.

700,000? We all heard that too, but I find it highly unlikely that we had to pay that much to get Coach Clark or that the board would approve 150k more than we paid McGee coming off 5 wins over 2 seasons.

Should've asked if he had a copy of his contract handy

Nah, I don't carry a copy of mine on me, so I didn't want to be put on the spot.

I did say hi and tell him it's good to see him.

RE: Bill Clark Contract
FWIW, anyone could theoretically call the University and ask for it. But at any rate, there's a site that shows you the amount of every check UAB writes. After his first full month on the job it'll be easy to figure out.

I'm just hoping that by this time next year, we will be thinking he is underpaid, no matter what the amount.

Once it is finalized and signed, it's public record. The UAB library used to have (probably still does) a book with every employee's title and pay available for viewing.

Unlikely. His contract will probably contain incentives and other forms of payment and compensation that won't show up in that line item, like vehicles or even a housing allowance. Likewise, his contract could also include compensation from funds other than payroll money.

Here at Northwest, we found out that the football coach got a half-million dollar bonus from the University Foundation for winning a national championship. We never would have found that out by looking at his university pay stub.

No doubt. I'd still like to see his contract.

However, I looked up McGee and he was getting $550k directly from the university.

Why are we so curious about what somebody's contract details are?? All I care about is whether they recruit good student athletes, treat them fairly and coach them well, and win.

If they do those things, you don't care if he's getting paid $12million?
