FAYETTEVILLE — An amendment to the contract of Arkansas defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads has been finalized, according to documents obtained Friday through an open records request.
Rhoads, who was promoted from a position coach in January, doubled his annual salary from $350,000 to $700,000, and is employed through June 30, 2018. The contract includes a no-compete clause that prohibits Rhoads from leaving the Razorbacks for any job within the SEC, unless it is a head coaching position - standard language for all Arkansas assistants.
Rhoads signed the contract amendment on July 26, the day before the Razorbacks began their preseason camp.
