Details of Coach Fuente's Contract with Virginia Tech

Coach Justin Fuente's contract is a six-year deal paying him $3.2 million in the first year, according to the Virginian-Pilot, and it will rise to $3.65 million by the end of the deal. Coach Frank Beamer earned $2.7 million in 2015. Fuente's salary pool for assistants will be $3.4 million.

If the school wants to buy Coach Fuente out of the deal, they would owe him $15 million before Dec. 15, 2016, dropping each year to $12 million, $9 million, $5 million, $3 million and $1.5 million in 2021. On Coach Fuente's end, he would owe $7 million before Dec. 15, 2016, dropping each year to nothing in 2021.

Another thing we should thank Coach Frank Beamer is how humble he was with respect to his salary. In comparison, Mike London at #LOLUVA was making a million dollars more than Coach Beamer.
