Overview

• Cristobal's 2022 compensation included $7.7 million in base pay and $14.9 million in other reportable compensation.
• The additional payments are believed to cover a $9 million buyout Cristobal owed Oregon and tax gross-ups.
• Cristobal's record payment set a new benchmark, surpassing the previous highest payment of $17.2 million to TCU's Gary Patterson.
• Despite the historic payout, the Hurricanes only managed five wins in 2022, underperforming expectations.
• Looking ahead, there are higher expectations for the Hurricanes in 2024, bolstered by new recruits and a high-profile quarterback transfer.
