I don't know what the incentive pool is but I know there are some for Brannen and I would guess likely some bonuses for assistants as well. Sweet 16, Elite 8, Final 4 etc. Perhaps conference championships etc.

I would guess base salary is the selling point with all of those other things being not guaranteed. If Bama wants him that bad they would bump his salary more than they have

Since we're talking about $$$ for coaches, did Mick have a buyout in his contract that UCLA had to pay UC in order to poach him? I couldn't find anything online -- if you search "Mick Cronin buyout", everything is about Jamie Dixon's buyout lol

Yes they paid us. Not for sure exactly the amount but it should be enough up our assistants pay

Our assistant pay pool has already been negotiated in the contract I think. It would be hard for Brannen to "up" that right now.

I doubt Alabama was only paying 280k. They pay football recruits more than that. I smell backdoor money if that his true salary

I am sure there are alternate ways of getting paid. But all of that is likely laid out in print. The salary pool, the incentive pool, the moving expenses pool etc. I don't know how the contracts are constructed but it's probably not likely Brannen can game the system too much.

Hey...I offered the guy 5 Lamborghini's!! What's the big deal?

Lol. Yeah I don't know for sure but I don't believe allowances are in base salary. Some coaches get condo and house for families
