The University of Alabama System Compensation Committee met on Monday for consideration of athletic employment contracts.
The Crimson Tide had five head coaches receive new contracts: baseball’s Rob Vaughn, women’s basketball’s Kristy Curry, women’s tennis’ Jonatan Berhane, swimming’s Margo Geer and women’s rowing’s Kumari Lewis. Alabama also distributed new deals to men’s basketball assistants Brian Adams and Chris Fleming.
Vaughn was hired away from Maryland in the summer of 2023. At that time, he inked a five-year pact worth $900,000 annually. Although the Crimson Tide finished this past season sooner than expected, Vaughn led Alabama to its first 40-win regular season since 2002. He earned a contract extension on June 3 but the salary was not revealed until today.
Curry received a five-year contract extension on Aug. 20, 2024 worth $650,000 annually. However, after achieving 24 wins for a second straight season, and NCAA Tournament round of 32 appearances, UA has now given her what she’s due. The Crimson Tide’s last season of at least 24 wins besides these two was in 1997-98.
