Much to the delight of many Miami Hurricane fans, it was announced on Monday that the Miami Hurricanes and head coach Mario Cristobal have agreed to a contract extension. When Cristobal signed in 2022, he had inked a long-term deal that would keep him with the program until 2031. However, following last year's run to the national title game, suitors undoubtedly came calling, as they do every year, and Cristobal's price went up as a result. Although the university itself hasn't responded for comment or made an announcement, it was reported by Brett McMurphy of On3 Sports that, as part of the new package, Cristobal is set to make a sizable donation to UM athletics, too. According to the most available information, his old contract paid him around $8 million per year to stay at The U. If an extension was signed on Monday afternoon, that yearly figure is more than likely now eclipsing the $10M per year mark, making Cristobal one of the highest-paid figures in college football. Cristobal, a Miami alum, knows as well as anyone else that this year means a great deal to his team and Hurricane fans. After regaining the national spotlight and getting to fight for the national championship, the Hurricanes were picked as the overwhelming favorite to win the ACC this year and get their second crack at a championship in as many years.
