Feels like JayBaugh and Hart may be taking a bit of a family discount, which is sort of crazy to say for $600k but Jay has been a really good coach at every spot he's been placed into and Hart was a revelation last year with the RBs.

Elephant in the room: so had Gattis stayed, he would have received a nice bump?  I wonder how much he is making at Miami now.

I seriously think he would be an hc after next season had he stayed.  Let's hope he can make an impact at Miami and crush Clemson.

Bellamy is going to need a raise soon if we don’t want him poached by someone else.  Everyone but Newsome is making twice as much as him

I think the $250k number is out of date. In the article it mentions that he signed a new contract but weren't able to get the exact details from the Freedom of Information folks currently.

I'd imagine the $250k number was last year's salary. Similarly to Newsome this year, he didn't have prior collegiate coaching experience, so maybe that's the "base" assistant salary. He probably saw a bump similar to the rest of the staff. Just speculating, but it would make sense that he would earn more after last year was so fantastic.

Mmmm Hmmm

Logged in to say even though it’s the lowest of the group it’s great to see Grant Newsome get his career going as a full coach. I always had the sense apropos of only interviews and message board banter that he will be a long-time successful coach if he stays in football.

If the RBs play as well as hoped (again) in 2022, Mike is due for a bigger bump in pay.

297 yards rushing vs. Ohio was worth a lot of money to everyone on the staff.

Looks right, I was hoping Harbaugh and Hart would make about 100-150K more with the Run Game Coordinator title and adding Special Teams in addition to Safties.

Bellamy should match Helow at $500K.
