per the Spokesman-Review:
This is Claeys’ first full-time season as head coach, and he has guided Minnesota to a better-than-expected 8-4 record.
It was an easy, amicable transition of power from Kill to Claeys, who had been in Minneapolis since 2011. There was no coaching search, and Claeys negotiated his contract without an agent.
The school gave him a prove-it contract: Three years at $1.3 million per year with a $100,000 raise each year, and a tiny buyout of just $250,000 for each year remaining on the contract. For comparison’s sake, it would cost Arizona State more than $14 million to fire coach Todd Graham.
His on-the-field results have thus far been everything the school and fans could have hoped for – a win in the Holiday Bowl would give Minnesota nine wins for the first time since 2003.
