Brandt Nigro, the new associate head coach of the University of Texas women’s swimming & diving team, will earn a base salary of $125,000 annually in his new role. That is in addition to a $20,000 moving allowance, $2,000 relocation allowance, and $7,000 temporary housing allowance.
The agreement has no fixed term.
Nigro comes to the Longhorns after seven seasons as the head coach at Army-West Point.
While Army-West Point does not make their coaching contracts public (the subject of a significant lawsuit in recent years), Nigro’s agreement shows the financial might of the University of Texas Athletics Department. His $125,000 salary on what is essentially the third rung of the ladder in the swimming & diving program (below Bob Bowman as the Director, Carol Capitani as the semi-autonomous head coach of the women’s team), is a base salary that exceeds that of most NCAA Division I head coaches.
That number doesn’t include any additional monies paid by booster clubs or other similar groups, which many top NCAA programs employ as supplemental pay.
Nigro’s contract is similar to the $120,000 annual deal with similar moving allowances signed by Erik Posegay two years ago to become an associate head coach.
While the offer letter provided to SwimSwam in response to an open records request does not include any reference to participation in the Texas Exceptional Performance Incentive plan (bonuses), a 2023 version of that plan provides for the following awards:
Conference Championship – 5% of base ($6,250) Top 15 placement at NCAAs – 10% of base ($12,500) Top 10 at NCAAs – 12.5% of base ($15,625) Top 4 finish at NCAAs – 15% of base ($18,750) Top 2 finish at NCAAs – 17.5% of base ($21,875) National Champion – 25% of base ($31,250)From James Sutherland’s Original Report:
Nigro takes over the role previously held by Mitch Dalton, who left his role as the Texas women’s associate head coach last month to take over as the head coach at Brown.
Like Dalton, Nigro will work under Carol Capitani, who has served as the head coach of the Texas women’s team for 14 years. The Longhorns have consistently been one of the top teams in the nation under Capitani’s watch, particularly in recent years, as they’ve finished either 2nd or 3rd at the Women’s NCAA Championships in six straight seasons.
