TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama board of trustee’s compensation committee met Friday to approve new deals for basketball head coach Avery Johnson along with seven other Crimson Tide head coaches.
Johnson received a two-year contract extension through 2023 that will pay him $2.9 million per year. The contract gives the third-year basketball coach a $265,000 base salary with a $2,635,000 talent fee. The talent fee portion of his contract will be increased by $500,000 for the remainder of his employment beginning on July 1 in any contract year if the men’s basketball team reaches the immediately preceding NCAA Final Four. Johnson will also earn a $150,000 bonus for every season he stays with the Crimson Tide until the end of his contract.
Johnson signed a six-year deal worth $2.8 million per year when he joined Alabama in 2015.
Should Johnson be terminated without cause between June 1 and April 15, 2018, the university would owe him $9 million. The amount drops down to $8 million between 2018-19, $6million between 2019-20, $4 million between 2020-21, $2 million between 2021-22 and $1 million between 2022-23.
If Johnson leaves Alabama without cause between 2017 and 2018, he would owe $3 million. The amount drops down to $2.5 million between 2018-2019, $2 million between 2019-2020, $1 million between 2020-21 and $500,000 between 2021-2022.
The board of trustee’s compensation committee also approved a new deal for associate head coach John Pelphrey. The basketball assistant received a $75,000 raise in base salary and a two-year extension that will see him signed through 2019. Pelphrey’s $425,000.
Other Alabama coaches to receive new deals include baseball coach Brad Bohannon, gymnastics coach Dana Duckworth, men’s golf coach Jay Seawell, women’s golf coach Mic Potter, swimming and diving coach Dennis Pursley and track and field coach Dan Waters
