Moore at only $550k? What a bargain.

Not included here but Macdonald's contract is incentive laden. I think like $50k for top 2 BIG10 defense and $50k for every win 9 and above.
Mo Linguist has some buyout stipulations that require him to pay 25 of salary for the given year if he leaves. 50 percent if he leaves for another BIG10 team. Stipulations expire after 2022. Buyout is voided if he becomes a head coach or becomes a coordinator at a non BIG10 team or Michigan changes head coach. Same goes for Hart and Bellamy.

Are those buyouts for assistant coaches normal? I hadn't heard of them before, but they seem like a good idea. Obviously you don't wanna require a guy to have a buyout to be an HC because no one would sign that contract, but it seems like a small price to pay for better staff retention.

The entire assistant salary is a combined $5.4M
Clemson's OC and DC alone make a combined $4.4M
edit: OSU's assistant coaches made $8.0M in 2020

Alabama and Clemson each spent about $7.5M on assistants last year. Alabama's assistants the last few years have been amazing, too. Sark most recently. Before that, Locksley and Lane Kiffin. These are all high level assistants!

I don't think these guys warrant being paid any more than they are. Young and unproven. No reason to pay them more than what they been so far.
Football wins big next couple years and it'll turn these guys into rock-stars. Then they get paid.

I thought that was one of the things Harbaugh was looking for though, was to have more money for his assistants?
February 4th, 2021 at 5:51 PM ^
I heard that too.
Either that was just rumor without substance from members of the media and/or "people on the know", or this group of assistant coaches wasn't the group of assistant coaches Harbaugh had as Choice #1.
Or both!

More than what I make. Cool!

Bellamy's already due for a raise after the Benny flip.
February 4th, 2021 at 6:26 PM ^
Sure beats being a public school teacher :)

Must be nice

I’m excited to see the next few years with this staff. Do we have a recruiting bump into consistent top 5 status? What are they like on the field as coaches? Do we have less transfers due to a more relatable staff? Do we have less staff turnover? On field results?

Must've missed it but who's the O line coach?
