USAToday.com is reporting that former Louisville and new Texas football coach Charlie Strong will make over $9 million this season.
The University of Texas’ new football coach, Charlie Strong, will be paid $5 million for the 2014 season and the university will pay Strong’s $4.375 million buyout to Louisville, according to financial terms approved Monday by the university system’s board of regents.
It was not immediately clear whether Texas would also be covering the income taxes associated with the buyout, but even without that, Strong’s $9.375 million in total compensation for 2014 will be the largest one-year amount paid to a public-school athletics coach since USA TODAY Sports began tracking pay of football and men’s basketball coaches in 2006.
That’s a lot of money for a coach.
