AUSTIN, Texas -- University of Texas regents on Saturday gave new football coach
Tom Herman a five-year contract worth at least $25 million.

hes not fired like his predecessor, Charlie Strong. Herman gets a first-year
salary of $5.25 million and it will grow to $6.25 million by the fifth year.He
also gets a $1 million bonus if he is still employed on Christmas 2019. It also
includes bonuses up to $575,000 per season for on-field performance ranging from
playing in a bowl game to winning a national championship, and another $150,000
for national coach of the year recognition.Weve got a great coach, Texas
president Greg Fenves said after the unanimous vote, although regent Wallace
Hall did not participate. Its a very fair contract, fair to him and fair to the
university.Texas fired Strong after three losing seasons and moved swiftly to
hire Herman away from Houston, where he was 22-4 the past seasons in his first
head coaching job. The entire process took less one week.The board met by
conference call Saturday to approve the contract. Deliberations were done in
private before the board took a public vote to approve the contract.By any
account, Texas is on the hook for a lot of money.The program still owes Strong
more than $10 million for the final two years of a five-year guaranteed
contract. Texas is also negotiating with Houston on a $2.5 million buyout to get
Herman. And the Longhorns program still owes Strongs staff, who were under
multi-year contracts, another $6 million.Some of that money -- but not all --
would be reduced if Strong and his former assistants find new jobs.Regent Alex
Cranberg, who had been on the board when Strongs contract was approved, called
Strongs contract a disaster and embarrassing in hindsight, and was pleased with
how Hermans deal is structured, with most, but not all, of the money
guaranteed.Texas also seems aware that if Herman does well at Texas, hell have
other suitors. Hermans Texas contract includes a hefty buyout -- $3 million per
year plus assistants salaries- if he chooses to leave early.Hermans contract
will be paid with revenue generated from the athletic department, not from money
awarded to the university.As for his staff, Herman is still putting that
together. Those contracts will be sent to the regents at a later date.Texas use
of guaranteed contracts for head coaches and assistants is relatively new and
was started by former athletic director Steve Patterson when the school hired
Strong in early 2014. Texas basketball coach Shaka Smart also has a six-year
guaranteed contract, with an option for a seventh year, worth about $22
million.---More AP college football:
