Florida A&M Releases Details on Head Football Coach Willie Simmons Contract



TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Florida A&M has released the contract details for new head coach Willie Simmons, including incentives he stands to earn for success with the Rattlers.

As previously reported, Simmons will earn $300,000 annually, with $100,000 coming from the school's direct support organizations -- meaning the university itself is on the hook for the same amount it was paying former head coach Alex Wood.

The deal is for five years.

Simmons' incentives include:

  • A $5,000 bonus for a two-year average APR of 950 or better, with each full time assistant getting a bonus of $500
  • A $5,000 bonus for winning the Florida Classic; each full-time assistant gets a $1,000 bonus
  • A $10,000 bonus for a MEAC title; each full-time assistant gets a $2,500 bonus
  • A $25,000 bonus for winning the Celebration Bowl; each full-time assistant gets $5,000
  • A $5,000 for an at-large bid to the FCS playoffs; $1,000 bonus for each assistant
  • A $2,000 bonus for being named coach of the year
