His contract with Arkansas.

http://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/2013/sec-coaching-salaries-bielema/

Arkansas announced that head coach Bret Bielema will make $2.95 million per year, with incentives reaching to $700,000 per year. Bielema becomes the SEC’s eighth highest paid coach. His contract runs through December 31, 2018.
Incentives in the contract include the following:

• $350,000 for winning national championship
• $300,000 for playing in the national championship
• $200,000 for playing in national semi-final in 2014 and beyond
• $100,000 for winning the SEC Championship
• $100,000 for both academic performance rate and graduate rate success

If he leaves the Hogs’ program for another job, he’d owe the school $3 million the first year, followed by $500,000 each year thereafter.
