How much should White make next year?

[Carm]

Reading how much the market has shifted for coordinators, and also that top position coaches are now at $1M, I'd say $1.8M.

Raiola will have a new contract and probably deserves a boost to at least $500k.

College football's highest paid assistants include 9 coaches making $1.9 million or more​

The number of coaches making $1 million or more has also more than tripled since 2018.

• DOUG SAMUELS

In 2018 there were just three coaches making $1.9 million or more. Just a few seasons later, that number has tripled.

Steve Berkowitz and USA Today published their annual list of college football assistant coach salaries this morning, and nine guys are making at least $1.9 million.
They are:

1. Garrett Riley (Clemson OC) - $2,050,00
2. Ryan Grubb (Washington OC) - $2,000,004
3. Glenn Schumann (Georgia DC) - $1,902,000
4. Jeff Lebby (Oklahoma OC) - $1,900,000
5. Matt House (LSU DC) - $1,900,000
6. Pete Golding (Ole Miss DC) - $1,900,000
7. Tommy Rees (Alabama OC) - $1,900,000
8. Kevin Steele (Alabama DC) - $1,900,000
9. Jim Knowles (Ohio State DC) - $1,900,000

Those top nine spots are occupied by four offensive coordinators and five defensive play callers.

That list from 2018 boasted 21 assistants making at least $1 million. Now? That number has exploded to 66 coaches making at least seven figures and the list includes a handful of assistants alongside coordinators.

Offensive and defensive line coaches are among some of the highest paid assistants with Ohio State's associate head coach Justin Frye, Michigan State offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic, Georgia defensive line coach Tray Scott and Ohio State defensive line coach Larry Johnson among the assistants at the $1 million mark.

This year's list also includes the top strength coaches in the profession, where two guys are making $1 million, while a few others are not far off. Michigan's Ben Herbert and Oklahoma State's Rob Glass lead the way in pay for strength coaches, with each making $1 million annually. The top five strength coaches are rounded out with Ohio State's Mickey Marotti ($882,238), Cockeye's Raimond Braithwaite ($760,000), and Florida's Mark Hocke ($750,000).

How much money do we have left if the arsenal for assistant? I know Rhule didnt use it all. Id go at least 1.85 to 1.9

 

[Tyneb23]

Fuck it 2 million plus no covid shots

 

[ThomOsborneMD]

As much as it takes it really shouldn’t matter. Pay him what he’d get as a HC at a non P5 school since those are the offers he may get other than DC offers

 

[Blakejc]

You want to keep him around for at least two more years. Rhule gets the team right in year 3 and White has a top 10 D, he’ll get some major P5 head coaching offers.

Offer him $1.5M, and if his agent can negotiate it to $1.7-1.8M then good on him. Going above $2M is probably a deal breaker, but with the pac10 teams coming in, a great defense keeps you in every game.

[Pipe Line]

1.5 to start

 

[Alcaus]

I think you're in the right ballpark with $1.8

I don't see a good reason to penny pinch with your best assistant. Offer him an increase that's deserved and move on to finding a QB coach.

[Carm]

since those are the offers he may get other than DC offers

$1.8M ought to cover that

That’s an assistant position that we have not had a GOOD coach at for what seems like 20 years. Nothing under Frost, Reily, or Pelini. I’ve always felt really bad for Adrian, shit coaching and shit o-line. If he would have had some development he probably would have been pretty good. I’m not saying NFL QB good but good enough to win a conference championship.

 

[Carm]

If A&M hires Jeff Traylor, UTSA might be a place that would be interested in White. Traylor makes $2.5M there.

 

[Bootleg11]

Whatever it takes to keep him from moving to another DC or group of 5 HC job.

Crazy how much the market has changed since even 10 years ago. Wasn’t Bo making around like 2 mil?

According to Football Scoop TW’s salary is currently TOP 9 and ties. I think TW will make between 1.5 and 1.75 million for his new contract. That would put him at TOP 3 and ties.

[Baron Winnebago]

Don't even think about it and go right to $2 million.

 

[David Webb]

I’m sure I’m in the minority here and will get lambasted, but I don’t think he deserves to make much more than he does now. He’s done a good job, but he’s benefitted greatly by playing several teams with offensives nearly as bad as Nebraska’s. The schedule has benefitted him greatly.

He’s also inherited 4th and 5th year players on the d line and at linebacker, which has been a big part of the rush defense turnaround. Add to it - once Frost/Chins were fired last year and Busch took over, the defense improved a lot.

I’m not saying he hasn’t done a good job, I’m just saying I don’t think he is the miracle worker people are making him out to be.

Don't you tell me not to irrationally call for him to get paid $2 million.

But yeah we've been down this road before and it could/probably has in the past burnt us bad

Butler never did anything under the prior staff
Princewill is a freshman
Lenhardt is a freshman
Nash is vastly improved
Bullock wasn't even a LB before the new staff got here
Gbayor was being discussed as a bust
Sherman and Borders are both transfers in their first year at NU

DL and LB look a lot different than last year, and all of them play with better technique a and understanding of the position. the fact we also have a lot of these guys rotating at different positions with little/no drop off also points to the coaching being far better
