Florida State released the contract details for coach Mike Norvell on Thursday.
The contract is for six years and will pay Norvell $26.5 million through 2025. That's $4.4 million annually, before factoring in an annual retention bonus of $250,000.
Norvell was making $2.6 million in his last season at Memphis.
He'll make $215,000 in annualized sum. The additional compensation, by year, goes as follows:
Year 1 - $3,535,000 (annualized)
Year 2 - $3,785,000
Year 3 - $4,035,000
Year 4 - $4,285,000
Year 5 - $4,785,000
Year 6 - $4,785,000
If you factor in the annual retention bonus, Norvell could make $28 million over six years ($4.6 million per year).
Norvell’s deal with FSU is heavily incentivized:
The approximate salary pool for FSU's 10 assistant coaches under Norvell is $5,250,000. This does NOT include the salary for support staff like director of operations, strength and conditioning coach, and director of recruiting. To compare, Willie Taggart started with a salary pool of $5,500,000 for assistants...but that figure also included funds towards the aforementioned support-staff roles.
Norvell was officially announced as FSU’s head coach on Sunday. He signed the contract on Saturday, Dec. 7.
The buyout language in the 26-page contract states that IF Norvell were to leave FSU for another coaching job in college or the NFL, he'd owe FSU the following in liquidated damages:
$5,000,000 if termination occurs in Year 1.
$4,000,000 if termination occurs in Year 2.
$3,000,000 if termination occurs in Year 3.
$2,000,000 if termination occurs in Year 4.
$1,000,000 if termination occurs in Year 5.
$0 if termination occurs in Year 6.
FSU would owe Norvell 85 percent of his remaining salary if his contract was terminated without cause at any time.
The deal also includes a $2,000 monthly "vehicle allowance" and relocation/moving expenses of $50,000.
