The University of Texas board of regents has approved the six-year, $32 million guaranteed contract for new men’s basketball coach Sean Miller.
Miller, hired in March to lead the Longhorns, will earn an average of $5.3 million per season through the end of the 2030-31 campaign.
Miller, 56, also can earn up to $850,000 in bonuses each season based on Southeastern Conference championships, personal awards and how far Texas advances in the NCAA Tournament.
Perks also include two dealer cars, club memberships, game tickets, 20 hours of personal use on a private jet and a $250,000 relocation payment, the Houston Chronicle reported Thursday.
Miller joined Texas after his second stint at Xavier, which included an NCAA Tournament First Four win against Texas and former coach Rodney Terry.
Over eight seasons at Xavier (2004-09, 2022-25) and 12 seasons at Arizona (2009-21), Miller has a 487-196 career record. His teams have made 13 NCAA Tournament appearances with four trips to the Elite Eight.
