Thought this was interesting - from Randy Johnson in the Strib.
USA Today this week published its list of assistant coaches' salaries at the FBS level for the 2023 season, and Gophers defensive coordinator Joe Rossi has the top salary for a Minnesota assistant at $1.1 million. That figure ranks 43rd nationally. The top assistant salary in the country belongs to Clemson offensive coordinator Garrett Riley at $2.05 million.
Other Gophers assistant salaries are: co-offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach Matt Simon, offensive line coach Brian Callahan and co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Greg Harbaugh Jr., $600,000 each, ranking 185th nationally; cornerbacks coach Nick Monroe, $417,000 (352nd); special teams coordinator Rob Wenger, $365,000 (413th); safeties coach Danny Collins, $255,000 (581st); running backs coach Nic McKissic-Luke, $237,000 (618th); defensive line coach Winston DeLattiboudere III, $232,000 (624th); and tight ends coach Andrew Sowder, $227,000 (631st).
The Gophers' total for the 10 assistants is $4.633 million. Their opponent Saturday, Ohio State, had a total of $8.34 million for 10 assistants. Minnesota's top two rivals, Iowa and Wisconsin, were at 6.33 million and 5.4 million, respectively.
Fleck's salary is $6 million and ranks 26th nationally and eighth among the 13 Big Ten teams who reported figures to USA Today. Northwestern, a private school, did not report figures.
(notes - there are 128 FBS teams. If each team had 10 assistant coaches (the maximum allowed) that would be 1,280 coaches total. I suspect that not all teams hire to the limit, so the total figure is probably a little less. that should help put the Gopher assistant coaching salaries in perspective)
