per Shama:
Gophers coach Tracy Claeys has at least one financial incentive as he prepares his team for the bowl game. His contract stipulates he receives a $50,000 bonus if Minnesota defeats an opponent from the Pac-12, Big 12, ACC or SEC in a bowl game. He has already earned a $50,000 bonus for winning five Big Ten games this year, and $75,000 for leading his team to this bowl game.
Athletic director Mark Coyle said awhile ago Claeys will receive an extension on the contract he accepted late last year that turned his status from interim head coach into full-time boss. Claeys has two years remaining on that deal. Presumably Coyle will not only increase the number of years, but also the compensation for Claeys who earned a $1.4 million salary this season. It’s unknown whether Coyle and Claeys have settled on new specifics, but certainly a Gophers’ win in the bowl game against 8-4 Washington State will add more luster to the coach’s resume.
Claeys coached the Gophers to a 5-4 league record, 8-4 overall. The schedule of opponents was the easiest in years and the public didn’t get excited about the team. The Gophers averaged 43,814 in seven home games, the lowest attendance since moving into 50,805 seat TCF Bank Stadium in 2009. Claeys has incentives in his contract that pay him $75,000 if home attendance averages 49,000 or more. He earns $50,000 if attendance is 47,000 or more.
