Beilein contract extension in the works?
Beilein, 65, signed a two-year contract extension in November 2015 and is under contract through 2021. His annual compensation is $3.37 million.
By comparison, Duke’s Mike Krzyewski ($8.98 million), Kentucky’s John Calipari ($7.45 million), Ohio State’s Chris Holtmann ($7.15 million), Kansas’ Bill Self ($7.15 million) and Michigan State’s Tom Izzo ($4.36 million) were the five highest paid.
Manuel noted that while Beilein’s contract is a bargain “for now,” he’ll have to look closely at all the details with another possible extension in mind.
Looks like Warde is loading up the armored car and ready to drop gold bricks along with a lifetime contract in coach's driveway. Well deserved in my opinion.
In addition, give him a blank check for recruiting. Michigan needs to take this Final Four appearance out for a spin on the recruiting trail. It sounds like that's what Beilein is doing on Friday.
Give this man a Harbaugh raise!!
There was never any doubt that Beilein would be at Michigan for the rest of his career, so the best news of this post is that he's evidently planning on coaching another 5+ years.
I really don't think that the almighty dollar is what motivates Coach B. As long as he receives a package that is in line with the other top coaches, I believe that he would be happy. I don't think he is looking to be up there with the overpaid coaches and that he coaches out of passion for the game and not money. Best coach ever!
