According to Barry Jackson, Cristobal’s contract with the team is for 10 years and he’ll earn an average annual salary of $8 million.
That means his deal is worth $80 million! That’s a ton of money.
Per multiple sources, UM gave Cristobal a 10 year contract. Averages $8 M per year.

In case you didn’t all already know, the amount of money being thrown around in college football right now is outrageous.

Now, Cristobal will have to start stacking up wins in order to justify his absolutely insane contract. If you’re making $8 million annually, fans want 10+ win seasons at a minimum.
The floor is a 10-2 regular season and the ceiling is a national title. Those are the expectations that are tied to an $80 million contract.
