Coach Klieman Extension

[Trumpster]

Working backward from Kolpack's math it looks like the non-bonus portions of his comp will be at least: 2015 $353,400 2016 $367,500 2017 $382,200 2018 $397,500 2019 $413,400 + $50,000 for sticking around 2020 $429.900

It was my impression from Kolpack's Tweet was that his $366,177 was with bonuses not without.

I think it would be pretty darn hard for any NDSU coach to leave for a coordinator position at P5. I think just don't think the money package would ever equal what NDSU can give a head coach. Even though you would have an easier time landing a P5 job as a coordinator than NDSU coach, you are still losing control over your own situation and you'd have to really trust the HC.

In summary, if your goal was to be a P5 coach, I still think it would be hard to leave for a non-head coaching job.

Per a recent SBNation article (placeholder for link when I find it), at least 73 assistant coaches at P5 schools made more than half a million.

But I think Klieman's path will ultimately depend on his priorities and where he wants to take his career.

I think that was 2014. He tweeted and I think it's in the story now what the 2020 pay w/o bonuses would be, given minimum 4% annual increase prescribed the contract.

im glad it was a contract extension and not something else...was a little scared to open this thread

Is 2020 adjusted for inflation? That's quite a pay cut.

I couldn't take that kind of a pay cut

That's awesome. Coach K deserves the raise and the extension. He did a truly epic job of bringing the staff together on short notice, keeping a great recruiting class, keeping the continuity, and winning another national championship. That may possibly be the best coaching transition I have ever seen. Incredible. Very proud of the job he did. Now lets make sure we pay the assistant coaches. Not to mention the job these guys have done recruiting this year is unbelievable.

I hope he wouldn't be interested in a P5 coordinator job but a pay increase would be likely. MSU's new head coach took a $400,000 pay cut. He was making $600,000 as Missouri's D cordinator.

This is a full extension:

Do we know for sure how he recruits and coaches his own recruits yet to give him an extension? Serious, and no, don't flame me because he won a championship.
