per Shama:

A Gophers athletic department source emailed that the 2017 salary pool for football assistant coaches is $3.1 million, compared with about $2.9 million last year. The top paid assistants are offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca and defensive coordinator Robb Smith, who each earn $700,000. P.J. Fleck, who was named head coach January 6, reportedly makes $3.5 million and is the highest paid Gophers football coach ever.

From what I know of it the Kill/Claeys era (especially the Claeys era) had some of the most equal pay between HC and assistants of any major school. I guess that's why the assistant pool didn't rise much under PJF - they are already well taken care of.

That, and PJF got all the extra $.
