Fired UWGB men's basketball coach Linc Darner guaranteed at least $720,000 in settlement
Dang.... What in the heck happened that they want him gone that bad to pay out that much???
GREEN BAY - Linc Darner was fired as the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay men’s basketball coach earlier this month, but he received a nice going away present.
Darner is guaranteed at least $720,000 as part of the settlement agreement he made with the school.
According to the agreement obtained Friday through an open records request, Darner was paid $120,000 on May 21 and will receive $120,000 on the first business day in January.
Darner also will receive monthly payments of $20,000 from May 1, 2021, through April 1, 2023.
If Darner has not landed a head coaching or assistant job before that time — he agreed to make a reasonable and diligent effort to do so — he will receive an additional $20,000 per month beginning May 1, 2023, and going through April 1, 2024.
The school will ensure continued health insurance coverage at current levels for Darner and his family until Dec. 21, 2021, or until Darner or his wife, Kristen, become eligible for coverage under a comparable health insurance plan.
