Big pimpin
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.
lol good to know my future attending salary is considered low for coaching football.
Kidding, i'm not actually complaining
As a teacher, I'd hope so.
How is Helow making the same as Mike Hart? That feels a little disrespectful.
In regards to Mike Harts salary compared to some of the others Helow.
Lit and fig
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.
"Lets hope?"
He left on bad terms to a step down job. He has buttered his bread now he has to sleep in it.
Right on! Gattis can stick it where the cows come home. You can take that to the bank and smoke it!

Thanks, XM & Maizinator. It's been a long week and I needed the laugh!

It has been a long week. Just remember to eat the elephant one step at a time.

That's right. Gattis is out of the frying pan and into hot water.
Listen guys these words are all encouraging and I greatly appreciate it. Bottom line is he will have to burn that bridge when he gets to it.
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 agree, but he's only been coaching at the college level for one year. And at the place he loves. If someone tries to poach him, I'm sure he'd give UM the chance to match the offer.

I think the $250k number is out of date.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.
Assistant coaching has gotten quite lucrative. All the more reason why players should get a piece of the dollar pie.
If Bellamy is still at $250K he’s due for a big bump, and soon.

Well deserved
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.
Football coaching at the D1 level seems to be quite lucrative.
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.
I could live on a $250k salary and make it look like more than subsistence money.
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.
Harbaugh has assembled quite the staff. Glad to see them getting paid
