The University of Arkansas has released the offer letter new Razorback Coach Bret Bielema agreed to prior to accepting the position.

Bielema will earn $3.2 million per year for six-years. Plus, the typical perks — two cars, moving expenses, country club memberships. If Bielema leaves for another job, there’s a $3 million buyout in his first year, a $2.5 million in the second, $2 million in his third, $1.5 million in his fourth, $1 million in his fifth and $500,000 in his sixth. He’s not allowed to take another job in the SEC during the six-year term.

Bielema’s deal with the Razorbacks is a pay raise from Wisconsin, where according USA Today’s college football coaches salary database, he made $2.6 million, but not the massive one some were projecting. Still, the salary puts him in the top tier of SEC coaches, behind only Alabama’s Nick Saban ($5.36 million), LSU’s Les Miles ($3.75 million) and South Carolina’s Steve Spurrier ($3.55 million). Of course Tennessee is still looking for a coach.

By comparison, former ASU Coach Gus Malzahn will be paid $2.3 million annually over five years to coach Auburn.

That would happen in the event that he and the team win the SEC and national titles, that he wins SEC and national Coach of the Year and that he hits all of the academic achievement incentives, which max out at $200,000.
