Alright, let’s gab a bit about this Shawn Clark fella and how much money he’s makin’. Don’t rightly know who he is, some kinda coach or somethin’, but folks are yappin’ about his salary, so I figured I’d chime in.
Now, they say this Shawn fella signed a new contract back in 2019, somethin’ about it lastin’ till the end of 2024. That’s a long time, ain’t it? Well, they went and extended it, but they didn’t give him no more money right off the bat. He’s still gettin’ that $425,000 a year. That’s a whole lotta money, more than I ever seen in my life, that’s for sure.
But don’t you go thinkin’ he’s starvin’. This fella, he gets extra cash if he does good. They call ‘em “incentives,” fancy word for doin’ a good job and gettin’ a little somethin’ extra for it. They upped them incentives, see. So, if his team wins a bunch or somethin’, he gets more money. Smart, I guess. Makes him wanna work harder, probably.
- Before, they say he was makin’ $950,000, which was a heap of money in that Sun Belt place, whatever that is. Third highest, they tell me.
- Now, he’s stickin’ with that $425,000, but they’re givin’ him $15,000 every month just for stayin’ put. That’s an extra $180,000 a year, just for showin’ up! Lordy, I wish someone would pay me that much just to stay put!
They say his contract is kinda “unique,” which I guess means it’s different. See, most coaches with that kinda money get more money to start with, but Shawn here, he gets that monthly bonus thing. And now, it’s gone up, they say. He’s gettin’ $22,000 a month now, just for stickin’ around. That’s a whole lot of extra cash, let me tell ya.
So, even though his regular pay ain’t changed, this Shawn fella’s makin’ out like a bandit with them bonuses. He’s got that guaranteed $425,000, plus that $22,000 every month. Do the math, that’s a pile of cash! He must be doin’ somethin’ right, I reckon.
I heard they even wrote all this down on some paper back in December of somethin’. Said he signed a five-year deal, and that’s when they set that $425,000 salary. But like I said, it’s all them extras that really add up. They had some bigwigs, “trustees” they called ‘em, agree to all this. Seems like a lot of fuss just to pay a man for tossin’ a ball around, but what do I know?
So, if you’re wonderin’ about this Shawn Clark fella’s salary, well, it’s complicated, like most things in life. He gets a decent chunk of money to start with, but it’s them bonuses that really make him rich. And that monthly bonus just keeps gettin’ bigger. Good for him, I guess. Wish I had me a deal like that!
Folks are always wantin’ to know how much other people make. I never did understand it. But if you’re curious about Shawn Clark, well, now you know. He’s doin’ alright for himself, that’s for sure. Makes more money than most folks I know, that’s a fact.
Anyway, that’s the gist of it, as best as I can tell. This Shawn Clark fella, he’s got a good thing goin’ with all that money he’s makin’. Makes you wonder if all that ball tossin’ is really worth that much, but hey, it ain’t my money, so I ain’t complainin’.
They probably have a whole history of what he’s been paid, if you really care to dig into it. Me? I’ve had enough of this money talk. Time to get back to somethin’ that makes sense, like a good cup of coffee.
