Tennessee football coach Phillip Fulmer received a new 7-year contract that averages $2.99 million and includes retention bonuses and incentive bonuses. The Ace Reporter (Jimmy Hyams) at Mr. SEC has three major problems with the deal:
One, he’s getting paid too much based on what UT has achieved recently.
Two, UT should have protected itself by lowering the buyout. Fulmer’s buyout formula is the same as before: One full year of the contract, plus $1 million plus the remaining years of the contract times the base salary.
Third, Fulmer gets an automatic one-year extension if UT wins eight games. Are you kidding? Have Tennessee’s standards dropped that low? Since when is an eight-win season in Knoxville worth rewarding?
The Tennessean's David Climer feels the same way, saying "the bar has been set at 8-4."
