Some of the players are making as much or more than the coaches?
Same as in every other sport. It's harder to replace players than coaches.
Also, I take a lot of NIL numbers reported with a big grain of salt.
I think it is safe to say that our QB1 will make more than every coach other than JF.
I will say that I find some comfort in knowing that we are putting the appropriate value on a novice OC and not paying him 7 figures to see if he can be successful.
Doesn't kylar murray mske like $55m? I think Reid is the highest paid NFL coach at like $22m. But coaching pay drops of quick after the top 2-4 coaches.
James Franklin makes more than like 20 NFL coaches too.
Those position coach salaries are in line with NFL pay too. However, our OC is woefully low for both college and pros. Coordinator is the one place that the NFL is really better pay than college.
The importance of punctuation (that colon makes all the difference in this lede....) lol
Seriously, doesn't it work both ways?
Hoping we DON'T have any 'bitter assistant' coaches before even spring practices start.... /s but not really...
(hoping we got rid of any we might have had...along with any bitter players)
I was thinking of it more assistants looking at how much players make, not anything to do with VT in particular.
There's really only one license plate for that car as well:
Important to note there are recruiting bonuses for coaches who bring in high-level talent, something I didn't see previous coaches do.
Where are the details of these bonuses? Haven't seen this info.
Saw them on 247 (behind paywalls)
So Mines and Moore got pay bumps. Any sense for how these salaries compare to the former salaries of the others? I am not sure what I was expecting, but this all seems incredibly reasonable.
These numbers seem very reasonable, and it keeps the door open to splash on a bigger name coordinator down the road if deemed necessary.
I also wonder if it's assuming that more money will be raised in the future?
I couldn't find info for Brent Davis, Adibi, or Whitehead
I thought Pry's salary was offsetting. He is basically being 3 Million and it's split up as salary and payout
its complicated as stated above, thats not his salary, but he's making bank next year.
His official salary for the next two years is $1.1 million. That offsets a portion of the $3 million dollar buyout he is due each of those years. It's not that complicated.
