New WR Coach: Michael Johnson

[baggerbob]

Would guess our budget for assistant coaches went up by somewhere in the 35-50% range since last season.

Anae and Beck had to be expensive to bring on board. Monroe and Schmidt also got promotions and presumably raises as well. Add in Johnson and wow, you have to be impressed by the work JW has been able to do to get all these coaches on the staff.

Bottom line is, if you want to win, you need to spend some money.

And we hired a special teams coach with a lot of experience.

Finally. This kid does like to "play" the recruiting game.

I can see Clark and Oliver starting/playing. The staff was looking for coverage guys. Hopefully, we found some.

Ba- Boom.

Per USA Today article average pay for an ( ACC ) assistant coach is $ 483,397 per year, average pay for a Sun Belt assistant coach is $ 187,346.

Interesting. Assume that factors in Coordinators?

The article only mentioned assistant coaches but it did say some P5 coordinators are making 1.5 to 2.5 million per year.

I believe our coordinators make more than Taggart as HC at FAU or close to it. 750k

Great article.

'Trust factor': How Mississippi State's WRs have bought into Michael Johnson's 'process'

Michael Johnson has only been at Mississippi State for a few months, but his coaching style has already captivated the Bulldogs wide receivers.

EXCELLENT. I'm old and grumpy, sometimes. (but only for football, lol) Things like the turnover chain, and teams that lack discipline, piss me off.

What I get form this article? Johnson may be one of the "good guys." Seems he puts Discipline #1, but isn't stuck in "old guy" mentality. Smart enough to know he needs to establish a good relationship with players, FIRST. His former players flat out said it, in this article. Not a platitude to get a job. I don't care if you're 70,60,50 or 18. If you are going to accept someone in a leadership role? The requirement is to earn your respect, first.

My hope is that Beck/Anae/Johnson can bring that respect/belief back to the offensive side of the ball. I'm pretty sure the line believes in Schmidt. (and they'll all fight for Lynch). Gimmee that same respect for QB/OC/ WR coach? Now we're having a conversation....

Not sure Daniel Morrison is especially knowledgeable or well respected. But he went to UMass Amherst so he is an expert on terrible locations.

Any connection to CousCuse ??

I know there are some analysts on the staff already, but any chance there are $ in the budget for DB to hire another analyst or two, like a Mitch Browning?

Or recruiting assistants. Two areas where I hope we're investing, to keep up with the joneses (without going overboard).

As far as I can tell, both positions are new to Syracuse.

But both exist at Virginia. Both are staffed by Bronco guys from Utah. Guessing Elliott is probably going to want to bring in people he is more familiar with. Both might be interested in also moving north.

Really happy that the university is showing that they are now willing to spend money to be successful.
Really need some positive news on the SU athletic front after suffering through last nights basketball game.

I wonder if Dino gave up a little moolah to help pay for these staff upgrades.

My thought, too.

I never heard one of those called a toboggan until I moved to NC.
