It appears that deal is in the process of being finalized with Jones receiving a 6-figure increase and an increase we believe will be somewhere around 3.3 plus the ability for that to go higher with some incentives. The contract extension is thought to extend out to the 6 year deal he originally signed almost two years ago to the day. Also, there is expected to be a 6-figure increase in the assistant coaches salary pool. - Brent Hubbs


Not a crazy raise, but I think Butch wanted more money for his assistants anyway

Good deal. I was honestly expecting him to be in the 3.75 range. Gillespie and Thigpen both need to get a bump imo.

Hart is playing right, IMO. Less base, but more incentives and more pay for assistants. If Butch wins next year, I'm guessing the incentives will push him into that range

How is extending a 11-13 coach a good deal?

While I agree with the premise and posted something similar in nature to the Butch to Michigan thread, I do actually think UT made out pretty good with this deal.

I think Jones will win at UT, but even if he doesn't - this is a prime moment to leverage. Hart can't have another debacle.

Bingo. If rumors are right about UM having Jones anywhere near the top of their list, Hart couldn't risk having Butch leave. They had to give him both an extension, and a pretty significant deal.

It's great to have leverage.

Just announced by AD that Butch has agreed to new contract through 2020. Given raise to $3.6 million, which is basically the minimum in the SEC it seems
