Basically $10M over 5 years. He nearly tripled his annual salary going from la tech to Cal. There's also some relatively small performance bonuses listed that are tied to wins, post season, and academic progress.
After this season, if Cal fires him, Cal owes him $2.25M ($3.75 - $.75 - $.75). Keep him through 2016, and it's $1.5M buyout. Pretty amazing that if he gets fired after 3 years, he walks away from Cal with over $8M.
"If he is fired for no cause before Dec. 31, 2013, he will be paid $3.75 million. That amount will be reduced by $750,000 each year through Dec. 31, 2016."
