Clemson will pay Dabo almost $12M per season

I wonder if Fitz will want to negotiate an extension soon. At the rumored $5M per annum, he’s now arguably underpaid.

Dabo, Clemson agree to new 10-year, $115M deal

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney agreed to a new 10-year, $115 million contract Thursday, the largest college football coaching contract by total compensation.

look, Fitz is an amazing fit at Northwestern. But Dabo took Clemson to six straight college football playoffs and won two nattys.

That is a resume worth 2-3x the salary of a few nice bowl wins with some 3-9 seasons sprinkled in.

About 1M per win for Dabo.

Fitz?

Actually… Dabo’s never lost to Duke.

Fitz is 3-5 against them.

Maybe Fitz is appropriately compensated after all.

As coaching salaries break $10M...do you think there will ever be a coach who is willing to take a lower base but who could break the bank on bonuses per wins? I'm thinking of actors like Tom Cruise who are known to take a lower base salary in exchange for a percentage of gross movie receipts.

So much for Dabo quitting once players started to earn $$.
