According to USA Today, Satterfield will be the 41st highest paid FB coach in the country, at $3,250,000, and the 7th highest paid in the ACC, just under Virginia's Bronco Mendenhall. (Petrino's deal made him the 25th highest paid coach).
Satterfield's salary at Appalachian State was $712,500 per year. He had been the 96th highest paid FB coach in the U.S.
His "without cause" buyout after the first season is $12,187,500, giving him a lower buyout than any published figures for ACC coaches except those from Georgia Tech and NC State. His "without cause" buyout declines $2,437,500 each year.
Satterfield's max bonus is $1,225,000 per year, which is in the low-normal range of published figures for ACC coaches. His maximum bonus at Appalachian State had been $295,000 per year.
Satterfield may buy himself out for any reason for $5,000,000 through Dec 31, 2020, then $3,500,000 through Dec 31, 2022, and then finally for $2,000,000 through Dec 31, 2024.
