Coaches contracts

Donate To GopherHole

long but interesting article - the short version:

Minnesota's on-field assistant coaching pay will break a new record-high for the University at $5,505,000. That's an increase of around a million dollars compared to 12 months ago.

Coaching salaries for 2025:

Fleck - base of $6mill + retention bonus of $800,000 = $6.8million
---(if I read this right, he also gets a $100,000 bonus for making a bowl game and $50,000 for a winning B1G record. several of the assistant coaches also get bowl game bonuses.)

Harbaugh - $730,000
Nic McKissic-Luke: $290,000
Matt Simon: $640,000
Eric Koehler: $275,000
Brian Callahan: $640,000
Winston DeLattiboudere: $500,000
Corey Hetherman: $1,200,000
Danny Collins: $425,000
Nick Monroe: $460,000
Bob Ligashesky: $345,000
 


I won’t be surprised if Harbaugh, Nick Monroe and Danny Collin’s all need extensions/raises pretty soon. Also wouldn’t be surprised to hear Rutgers has been poking around at Monroe or Collin’s about their DC spot
 

Nice to know we have a competent AD that can go to the board and get more funding for the coaches pool. Even at 5.5 it's still near the bottom of the league
 



But it's also true that the Gophers ranked dead-last in that same assistant 2024 salary pool pay among the 15 Big Ten schools that report such data. Yikes. You also have three private schools that don't have to report: USC, Penn State, and Northwestern.

Penn State a private school?

Harbaugh hasn’t earned anything beyond a cost of living raise yet. He’s made the jump from a bad OC to a barely acceptable one. If he can make the jump to the upper end of adequate next year then he can break the $900k mark.

Agreed he definitely hasn’t earned anything more yet. I just thought he made a lot of improvements from year 1 to year 2, and if that continues he could be pretty good in the next year or two

Obviously you, and probably some others, are not going to agree with me. I’ve seen the angst and vitriol poured out at Harbaugh plenty of times. I was guilty of it myself in the heat of the moment at times, but mostly last year. This year was different and I don’t think Harbaugh is given enough credit by this fanbase. Is he the best OC in college? The Big10? No, he’s not at this point. But I think he proved this year, whether it was finally the implementation of the screen we’ve all wanted for years, the use of the running backs at various depths and patterns, the tight ends, the creative gadget plays, etc., that if you give him a QB who can complete a forward pass, he can be a solid OC. He doesn’t deserve all the shit he gets on here from time to time. Last year was a disaster because we had a QB who couldn’t complete a 5 yard pass. That drastically limits the playbook and what he could do as an OC. That isn’t completely his problem. Yes, he has to help coach them up, but AK wasn’t drastically better this year with the OC who recruited him originally.

I hope he continues to grow and improve as an OC and next year with a new QB will be interesting. But the issues with the offense this year 100% centered around the offensive line and its inability to run block. It wasn’t the OC and his play calling. Harbaugh was good this year and the creativity and success within his offense should be recognized by all of us as Gopher fans. He did a good job overall.

Probably mixing up with Penn?

As per Googler:

Penn State is not required to make all of its coaches' contracts public.
However, the university must disclose the salaries of its highest-paid employees, including some coaches.


Explanation
  • Penn State is a state-related institution, which means it's not subject to the same open records requirements as state-owned entities.

  • Penn State must disclose the salaries of its officers and directors, and the highest 25 salaries paid to employees.

  • Penn State's annual right-to-know law report includes salary details for the highest-paid employees.

  • Penn State's policy has been to only discuss the contract details of the head football coach and athletic director.

Agreed, I thought athan was a big limiting factor last year and Harbaugh took some big steps this year. Still has room for improvement, but brosmer was his guy and Lindsey/Pyron are QBs he has brought in as well so we’ll see if he continues to trend up.

It’s fing insane that a 5.5 million dollar per year contract is at the bottom of the league…

Gopher Sports does about 140 million in revenue. NCAA Athletics do almost 2 billion annually.

Amateur sports is done. It’s all a business now.

The offense was pretty decent this year considering we had only one sure fire draft pick.

Yep. Needed better OL play that was a downer and a bit of a surprise. Considering we had the best left tackle in the conference the other four must’ve left a lot to be desired.
