Clark question

Can someone please clarify a few things about SC's contract status. Maybe I should know all of this but...

His buyout drops to 500K on 12-2 How much longer is his current deal for after that?

If we don't cut ties with him after this season would we have to offer an extension or renegotiate anything?

Does his current deal guarantee pay increases going forward regardless of performance?

If he stays and assistant coaches such as coordinators are released, what are their buyouts?

In other words what are the potential scenarios and how do they effect us financially?

In advance, I know this info can be found in his contract in public records. Thank you.

I’ll answer what I can which may not be all of it.

- Contract goes through the 2026 season. The next buyout figure is $250k after 12/31/25.
- We technically don’t have to negotiate anything this offseason if we keep him but he would be under contract for 2 more seasons.
- Every assistant coach has an expiring contract this year. The coordinators are in the second year of their original 2 year deal. No buyouts for them.

This is how I understand it...

Current contract expires 2026. He still has 2 years so we would not have to offer an extension or renegotiate this year to keep recruits happy.

Only bonuses going forward for performance based increases in current contract.

Coordinators are on year 2 of their 2 year contract. All other coaches are on 1 year deals.
