Utes Working on New Deal for Boylen
Leading the Utes into the NCAA Tournament for the first time in four years could pay off handsomely for Jim Boylen.
The coach and the university are in the early stages of negotiating a new contract, his agent confirmed today. “The intent is to get something done,” agent Warren LeGarie said. “Sooner, rather than later. But ultimately, it will be the university's decision.”
Boylen just completely the second year of a five-year contract that pays him $480,000 annually — not including bonuses and other benefits, such as the use of a car, country-club membership and $20,000 annually for an education savings fund for his children. By leading the Utes into the NCAA Tournament last week to conclude a 24-10 season, he earned a $25,000 bonus, according to the terms of his current contract.
Both Boylen and athletic director Chris Hill declined to comment on the negotiations.
“What I can say is we're happy with Jim and the direction he's taking the program,” Hill said. “We want him to be here for a long time, and I think he does, too."
