I have always wondered how team's allocate coaching money.

I had thought this was the last year of his contract but, yeah, he has 21-22 as well.
I’m not sure if there is a standard for coaching contracts. But employment contracts in general have several different potential outcomes. There might be a provision for early termination payment. Or to present value the future salary and he gets a lump sum. If it was just his regularly schedules salary, his new job salary would be deducted as a mitigation of loss.
