Wages and contracts
While in Oklahoma, Lincoln’s highest annual salary was $4.8 million. He operates under a six-year contract worth 45 million U.S. dollars.
In November 2021, a random Twitter account claimed that Lincoln signed an absolutely amazing agreement to become the coach of the Troy team at the University of Southern California. According to the tweet, the total transaction value is US$110 million, including all bonuses and incentives. In addition, the University of Southern California paid an asking price of US$500,000 for his two homes in Oklahoma and agreed to purchase a US$6 million home for him in Los Angeles. Presumably, the University of Southern California also allowed him to use the school’s private jet without restrictions:
Lincoln Riley USC contract details (not confirmed; the best I can do):
– 110 million US dollars
– The University of Southern California bought his house in Norman at a high price of US$500,000 (a bonus of US$1 million)
– Purchased a house worth 6 million dollars for him in Los Angeles
-Unlimited use of private jets for families 24/7 #Sooners #Trojans— Robert Hefner V (@RobertHefnerV), November 29, 2021
Unfortunately, it quickly clarified that none of the above statements are official, and Twitter users are not recognized sources of verified information. In fact, Lincoln University’s contract details may never be revealed, because the University of Southern California is a private university. It is widely believed that the University of Southern California will be forced to pay Lincoln at least $4.5 million to buy out his one-year contract in Oklahoma, and his average annual salary may be between $8-10 million.
