My thoughts would be best expressed by a gif of Scrooge McDuck playing in stacks of money, but since it's Monday I won't be trying (and failing) to embed one.
Being an assistant is not a bad gig, compensation-wise.

"not a bad gig, compensation-wise."
But man...you work your ass off for it. And a mob on social media will descend upon you like locusts should you do anything wrong.

Please edit title to: Salaries for coach Campbell, Newsome and Brown.
February 19th, 2024 at 10:54 AM ^
Seems in line with major P5 program pay.
February 19th, 2024 at 11:27 AM ^
Except Coach Brown is quite low.
February 19th, 2024 at 11:48 AM ^
for a first time ST coordinator seems about right, tho.
February 19th, 2024 at 12:18 PM ^
Brown is not complaining. He was making $145K in 2023. He got a $205K raise.
February 19th, 2024 at 12:25 PM ^
I’d take that please
February 19th, 2024 at 5:52 PM ^
I do very well for myself and I love what I do, but I would not mind at all getting paid $300k to coach football.
How can I get into coaching?
February 19th, 2024 at 12:07 PM ^
Brown is in the top 30 as a first time ST coach. Not an accurate statement at all.
February 19th, 2024 at 7:55 PM ^
Not really, he’s just a special teams coach. If he added an actual position to his title he’d be in line for a pay bump. But a rookie special teams coach isn’t going to make the big bucks
February 19th, 2024 at 10:56 AM ^
Please clarify. Is Campbell ~3M a year or 1M per year?
February 19th, 2024 at 10:59 AM ^
The first sentence of the article:
Michigan Wolverines football offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell will be paid an average salary of over $1 million over the next three years, MLive reported after obtaining his contract through a public records request.
February 19th, 2024 at 11:11 AM ^
It's 2024 why are you still clicking on links to articles
February 19th, 2024 at 11:30 AM ^
The new Apple device actually burns the information into your retinas so that you will never forget.
February 19th, 2024 at 3:40 PM ^
I've had mine two days and I've already been blinded. . . by useless information reflective of my lack of internet hygiene. . . and a couple of images that should nonetheless keep me busy.
February 19th, 2024 at 11:00 AM ^
Average 1 mil a year. Will be paid 900k his first year.
February 19th, 2024 at 11:00 AM ^
OP stated the total contract value for Campbell, so ~$1mm annually.
February 19th, 2024 at 11:06 AM ^
Because Campbell's contract is not the same every year I posted the total for three years. Can't edit now but I would if I could, cause I can see the confusion, even though 3 mil per year would be crazy.
February 19th, 2024 at 11:00 AM ^
I looked up Jay Harbaugh’s salary recently. He went from $200K to $600K over the course of 6 years as his responsibilities grew. $600K for an offensive line coach seems reasonable to me. It’s not hard to understand why these coaches jump around so much. Over a few years you can go from a position coach (entry level $350K, experienced $600K) to a coordinator ($1M) to a head coach ($5M). That’s certainly not happening in my line of work as I begin my 18th year with my current employer. Folks do hop around in my industry, but the rewards for doing so certainly aren’t the same.
February 19th, 2024 at 1:55 PM ^
Thing I’ll never understand about coaching contracts are the buyouts. Literally anyone in any line of work cen get fired for no reason and receive no benefits. A coach can absolutely suck at their job and get the remaining money on their contract. Still baffles me.
February 19th, 2024 at 4:50 PM ^
The reason for buyouts is because of the upward movement in the industry (and I guess the propensity to fire coaches). If a coach does well a buyout is some time of barrier to another team poaching him and if it goes bad it's insurance to getting fired. There aren't too many other jobs that people get poached and fired as often as coaching.
Btw, I agree with Craig, if someone isn't happy with their current situation a buyout shouldn't be put in place preventing them from leaving.

6 years after graduating, Grant Newsome is doing alright for himself. Good for him, especially after what he endured. I wish him all the success.
February 19th, 2024 at 11:10 AM ^
Logged in to say the same thing. Really sucked for his ending at Michigan. I’m glad he’s on a great path to generational wealth for what he endured.
February 19th, 2024 at 11:32 AM ^
His story is one worth remembering and worth repeating. I hear he is a terrific coach. I'm glad things are working out for him.
February 19th, 2024 at 11:38 AM ^
He’s a great example of not feeling sorry for yourself and making the most out of what you have. He was playing great in ‘16 and had all the makings of a top-3 round LT. He stuck with the program and now at age 26 he has a BA and a MPP along with a position coach under the best OL coach in America. What a story that is still in its early chapters
February 19th, 2024 at 11:02 AM ^
Are two year contracts for these guys an average length of a Contract? Curious why two years, that a prove your worth in these two years kind of contract, then we will up you to long term?
February 19th, 2024 at 11:07 AM ^
Caveat that college sports is not my industry, but I'm guessing that these are up-or-out deals. After two years, the guy should be ready for a raise, moving on to a different role, or getting a firm handshake. There's no real upside for either side to lock in beyond that.
February 19th, 2024 at 12:19 PM ^
2 years for position coach
3 years for coordinator
These are typical terms yeah. HC needs to be flexible in his staff and long contracts hinder that flexibility.
February 19th, 2024 at 12:20 PM ^
Two years is standard for guys in a new position in case the head coach decides he wants someone else after a year. Anything more and it's problematic. If all goes well they can extend contract.
February 19th, 2024 at 11:08 AM ^
Fire Warde. He flat out lied when he said Michigan isn't saving any money on this coaching staff. I'm convinced we could of kept some to many of the coaches we lost by over paying a bit.
February 19th, 2024 at 11:27 AM ^
He absolutely had the funds to pay for Herbert. Everyone else left for better jobs and not necessarily the money. Herbert left for money. Feels bad and its deeply annoying considering the discount he's getting with the new staff.
February 19th, 2024 at 11:45 AM ^
Not starting a war but I completely agree. Didn't read that he is getting a contract amendment? I am sure he will get a bump.
February 19th, 2024 at 12:09 PM ^
I read Herbert wanted something like a 10-year deal? Is that accurate? If so, I could absolutely see why Warde wouldn't agree to that.
February 19th, 2024 at 1:51 PM ^
If it's about money, then it's not a 10 year deal or nothing, it's beating what Jim was offering.
February 19th, 2024 at 2:55 PM ^
If Herbert wanted a contract longer than the HC's, I could absolutely see that being a sticking point with the AD. What if Moore wants to go another direction for S&C? Not saying Moore wanted to move away from him, but a 10-year contract is an absurd ask for S&C coach.
February 19th, 2024 at 3:20 PM ^
I tried Googling for the terms of Herbert's contract with the Chargers, but I came up empty in my quick attempt. I highly doubt it's for 10 years there either. (Harbaugh's deal with the Chargers is for 5 years.)
February 20th, 2024 at 7:53 AM ^
What's your point? No one was going to give him a 10 year deal.
February 19th, 2024 at 12:22 PM ^
What is lost is when the guy wants to go to NFL. It's not like Herbert went to another school. No money within reason will keep them when they want to go to NFL.
February 19th, 2024 at 3:24 PM ^
He went to a league where most of the team, especially the stars making the big bucks, have their own trainers.
In all seriousness, he could be a pioneer turning practice team players into highly cost-effective minimum NFL salary starters, freeing up cap space for Harbaugh and the Chargers to pursue free agent talent where it's needed.
Jim is always looking for that 1% advantage, maybe this is what he's thinking with (Ben) Herbert.
February 19th, 2024 at 12:37 PM ^
Herbert was already the highest paid S&C coach in the country and received that bump just last year. At a certain point, you're going to piss off everyone else on the staff if the S&C coach is getting paid more than or equal to the coordinators.
February 19th, 2024 at 1:31 PM ^
Exactly. He was JUST given a raise to make him the highest paid S&C coach. We would have had to double it from there to keep him. Which means he would have been more than double the next highest. That is so far out of line from what the market dictates it would have bordered on malpractice to pay it.
February 19th, 2024 at 8:29 PM ^
Not only does Herbert do more with players than any other coach on staff, he had brand equity that no one else on staff (aside from Moore) could match, even w/ recruits.
In a world where other cfb blue bloods are paying upwards of 2 million for coordinators, I think it would’ve been totally sensible to spend that kind of money to keep Ben Herbert.
