Will Stein’s $5.5M salary vs. Mark Stoops’ $9M confirms what many Kentucky fans already believed about how far the program drifted from its results.
When the numbers on Will Stein’s contract came out, the first reaction wasn’t really about Stein at all. It was about the guy who just left.
Will Stein’s deal:
- 5 years, $28.5 million
- Year 1: $5.5 million
- Escalating up to $5.9 million in Year 5
- 70% buyout if Kentucky fires him, spread out monthly thankfully
- Automatic extension for a College Football Playoff appearance
