WEST LAFAYETTE –Jeff Brohm’s long form contract has been made available by Purdue.
Most of the information in the contract was reported at the time of Brohm’s hiring announcement in December:
• Similar to Darrell Hazell’s contract when he left Kent State, Purdue paid Western Kentucky $900,000 when Brohm terminated his contract with the school. It’s considered a loan to Brohm and Purdue will forgive $150,000 on December 31 of each year. If Brohm is fired by the end of the initial term, the remaining balance of the loan will be completely forgiven. If Brohm leaves on his own, he would owe the school the remaining balance of the loan.
• Provide $3.5 million for assistant coaches. His nine assistants will make a combined $3.075 million in their first year.
• If Brohm is fired, he’s owed the remaining balance on his contract, which is currently for six years at $3.3 million per year. If Brohm is fired after he’s already received a total of $18 million in guaranteed compensation (base salary and supplemental stipend), Purdue would not owe any liquidated damages. Brohm also has a mitigation clause in the contract, requiring him to seek employment to offset Purdue's financial obligations.
