Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 4101783, member: 6809"] Never saw a breakout with incentives like this. He's certainly been taken care of IMO with 40K for "moving expenses": Details have been revealed on the six-year deal Tony Elliott signed to become the head coach of the Virginia football program, as first reported on Monday night by [URL='https://richmond.com/sports/college/new-uva-football-coach-tony-elliott-to-earn-4-1-million-in-first-season-with/article_2419288a-af50-5a04-9141-705ad4f412dd.html']Mike Barber at the Richmond Times-Dispatch[/URL]. Elliott will make an estimated $4.1 million in his first season in 2022 and that payment will increase by around $150,000 every two seasons. In his final season as Virginia head coach, Bronco Mendenhall's base salary was $4.25 million. Here is a breakdown of Elliott's salary for the next six seasons at UVA: Tony Elliott Virginia Football Head Coach Contract [TABLE] [TR] [TH]Year[/TH] [TH]Payment[/TH] [/TR] [TR] [TD]2022[/TD] [TD]$4.1 million[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]2023[/TD] [TD]$4.24 million[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]2024[/TD] [TD]$4.24 million[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]2025[/TD] [TD]$4.4 million[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]2026[/TD] [TD]$4.4 million[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]2027[/TD] [TD]$4.55 million[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] The offer sheet Elliott signed included a $350,000 signing bonus and $40,000 for moving expenses. The details of the contract stipulate an automatic extension if Virginia makes an appearance in the ACC Championship Game or if the Cavaliers have a 10-win season. There is an $8 million buyout in the deal, but that amount will be lowered by $2 million each season. Elliott's contract also includes the following bonus incentives: Tony Elliott Contract Bonus Incentives [TABLE] [TR] [TH]Incentive[/TH] [TH]Bonus[/TH] [/TR] [TR] [TD]ACC Championship Game appearance[/TD] [TD]$50,000[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]ACC Championship[/TD] [TD]$100,000[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Bowl game appearance[/TD] [TD]$25,000-$100,000[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]College Football Playoff appearance[/TD] [TD]$500,000[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Top 25 Final Ranking[/TD] [TD]$50,000[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Top 20 Final Ranking[/TD] [TD]$75,000[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Top 15 Final Ranking[/TD] [TD]$100,000[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Top 10 Final Ranking[/TD] [TD]$125,000[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Top 5 Final Ranking[/TD] [TD]$150,000[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]ACC Coach of the Year[/TD] [TD]$75,000[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] At Clemson, Elliott was one of the top-paid assistants in college football. In February of 2021, Elliott signed an extension that elevated his annual salary to $2 million. Virginia has certainly made Elliott's decision to take the UVA football head coaching job a lucrative one. [/QUOTE]
