Special Teams Coach Hot Board

[Carm]

Eck was in his last year with the Vols at $575,000 for the 2024-2025 season. It was his second consecutive 1-year contract. There were reports Huepel wanted to retain him after last season but IIRC, no new salary amount was ever put out to the public. Or speculated by their media. (Over a year ago so I could be wrong on a higher salary)

Nebraska pays Eck $625,000.

After 2024 Tennessee fans actually were pushing to have several ACs fired. The best guess was that Heupel never actually offered Ek a new deal and Ek left. No ACs were actually fired. Heupel didn't hire a replacement for Ek, he split his STC job between two coaches currently in staff.

Can’t believe we live in a world where we lose Ekeler because we want to pay Glenn Thomas and Marcus Satterfield more. Fire me into the sun

 

[GAHusker]

Adjusted for cost of living, how much would USC have to pay him? 750??

Way more with just considering taxes and real estate alone

 

[nscottie]

I've heard of double-negatives... but....

Exactly what I thought when I read that

I haven’t seen Satt’s new salary, but it is obviously going down a ton for this new contract year

 

[PonyBoy]

Sorry, thought I remembered people saying he took a pay cut to come here and be closer to home?

Just trying to go glass is half full here. Because losing Ek would be not good.

It was mentioned in the DM you & I are involved with.

Oh... well I'm super good at paying attention

 

[BIGSTICK67]

gonna need this as a reaction pronto @HuskerGarrett

But twice as BIG as the other reactions. Easy to find and show our aggravation.

✅ Create fictional scenario
✅ Get angry with that fictional scenario

Probably 1M+ Cost of Living and Tax differences are crazy from Lincoln to LA.

Bankrate says $990,200 in LA when making $625,000 in Lincoln. Nerd Wallet was super close to BR.

Sooooooo.......why the fuck is he leaving??? Cause I seriously doubt USC is paying him 990

They're going to be paying Satterfield much less than he was making the last 2 years (more of a TE salary), so not sure what you're trying to get at here.

 

[dom91932]

Regardless of whether Ek is just a transient, the fact is that he is was one of Rhule’s few food hires. Absolutely zero confidence he can be competently replaced.

As someone else said, the specials improvement covered up some of the regression everywhere else.

Gonna be a long 26.

Well he hasn't left yet, but That's the million dollar question. No pun intended.

Hopefully he gives them the ERob treatment and stays home.

 

[Blakejc]

Probably gets a bump to $750-800K. He should be making as much if not more than Geep.

 

[Herbie]

Look on the bright side, we're all one day closer to death

They say your life flashes before your eyes as you die. Wouldn’t it be gay to have to rewatch 2000s Nebraska as you are dying

How is he still here? What value does he add here?
