Lowest paid coach in the AAC?  Hopefully a lot of incentives. If you look at Seth's pay and what an OC would cost we may of just increased the staff pay by $1M PLUS. 

Herman’s contract starts at 700k

I’m deeply saddened by this news.  As per the usual, UNT tried to cheap out on things.  Pay this man what your last coach made and quit making excuses.  I would bet all the AD department will receive healthy raises so the coaching should as well.  #TYPICAL UNT

2.4 Million for on field asst coaches?? Holy cow 10 Asst's to split obviously not equally but you can pay everyone a very pretty penny with that much.

Agreed. That puts your coordinators in the 4-500k range and position coaches at or sub 200. 

HC pay is clearly lowly considering the AAC. Our other coaches will be paid handsomely, though. I'm intrigued by all of this.

I wish this article compared the prior staff $’s to this. I may be wrong, but I’m betting $1.1M for non-coaching staff is a significant bump.

Also agreed. 1.1M to non-field coaches is nice. You could really put together a nice support system with that money.

The on-field assistant pool seems to be about $700k higher than it was under Littrell.  I think we will see most of that increase go to the coordinators just based on the salaries they are leaving to come to UNT (without knowing who the offensive coordinator will be).

Maybe he bet on himself by taking lower HC pay for higher assistant pay. 

Shows great leadership and confidence.  Love it!

In my head, I read all of your posts in a worked-up Walter Sobchak voice.

He doesn't deserve that pay yet.  If he improves the program he'll end up with more probably. I'd say they increase the OC/DC/STC, well possibly not OC since EM is the OC.   The position coaching hires I've seen should be paid less or the same though since they are mostly working higher level jobs for the first time.

If I were to guess, then we are going to have a lower overall salaries from last year and we will use the surplus to assist our NIL program.

Going to be an interesting offseason for the first time in a while. 

I think you are correct!
