Message: [QUOTE="supp, post: 2133606, member: 702"] I don't know but I did some research. The top schools are paying close to $6 million a year for assistants, if not more now. Many P5 head coaches now want the total amount for assistant salaries to match their own plus a bit extra. The rumor at the time Babers signed was 6 years and a little under 2.5 million. So let's say we have a budget of 2.75 million for the assistants. USA Today publishes a list of assistant salaries for public schools. Clemson gave out nearly 5.5 million last year to football assistant coaches, UVA 3 million, VT 3.5 million, GT a little over 2.5 million. So I think 2.75 million for us is probably not a bad guess. Let's say half is for coordinators. That leaves 1.375 million to split between 6, which averages out to about 230K/year. I think your 180K guess sounds about right. I would say at least double that to get to "enormous." Would they let him go for $70K more? Would he go for $70K more? [/QUOTE]
