Jim Tomsula is out as the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, but he got an amazing parting gift.
Tomsula, who was fired after the season finale on Sunday, will get the entire $14 million in his four-year contract, 49ers owner Jed York said.
“I would say this: We’ve got several years of Jimmy T’s salary left and we’re going to eat it,” York said. “Whether he’s coaching somewhere else or not, we owe him that. That’s not a concern.”
Tomsula made about $2.8 million per victory as 49ers head coach.
