sd'sker Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 hopefully this is one of the benefits on our new ad. he is more willing to open up the pocketbook. then again, hopefully he spends it on the right people. i do not envy his job. I agree. I'm still waiting on my "Best Husker Fan 2012-2013" bonus check. you got to cheer us to a bcs game before that is sent out. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 OSU athletics spokesman Jerry Emig confirmed that all of Meyer’s assistant coaches received a bonus equal to three months of their salary as a result of the Buckeyes winning the Big Ten’s Leaders Division, as stated in their respective contracts. http://www.thelantern.com/sports/ohio-state-football-s-assistant-coaches-net-more-than-798k-in-bonuses-for-leaders-division-title-1.2970538#.UO7llW-Gg_Y I wonder what bonus incentives our assistants got for winning the Legends Division.

knapplc Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Paying more doesn't equate to better coaches. It's a "bang-for-your-buck" situation here. Great - we're #3 in assistant salaries. Then explain why our defense was historically bad this year. I'm cool with paying the coaches the going wage. We should be competitive in salaries. But when we're forking over #3 dough, I expect #3 or better units. The defensive coaches have a long way to go before they're earning that pay. 3 Quote Link to comment

We paid #3 money and were arguably #2 or #3 in the league. I'd be pissed if I was Michigan. Quote Link to comment

gobiggergoredder Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 If we raised Beck's salary, which I happen to agree with, because people came knocking, then shouldn't Paps be getting a pay cut? Doubtful anyone is calling for his services. 1 Quote Link to comment

Nebraska is # 2 or 3 in the league. If we nitpick, we could even be 4. No way in hell is it lower than that though. Quote Link to comment
Junior Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Comparing what Nebraska spends on coaches to what Northwestern and Illinois spend is a ridiculous exercise. Where do we rank among teams that we think we are as good as? Where do we rank in both salary and years of coaching experience (at the D1 level) in comparison to Ohio State, Wisconsin (before the coaching change), Michigan, Alabama, Oklahoma, Oregon, etc. As knapplc said, it isn't about salary. Nebraska could pay Papuchis $900,000, he's still going to be a mediocre defensive line coach (he's not the coordinator if he doesn't call the plays). Quote Link to comment

We paid #3 money and were arguably #2 or #3 in the league. I'd be pissed if I was Michigan. We were #2 or #3 three in the conference solely based on our offense. On defense we were near the bottom of the pack in every category except pass defense, solely because every single team could run against us and didn't have to pass (or couldn't). Another thing contributing to that passing stat is that just about every Big Ten team was in the game against us to the very end, meaning they didn't have to pass to catch up to us.

FriendlyLurker2007 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 could be a review sort of...for example if your defense holds opponents to x amount of yards you get 20k raise, or y amount of yards 10k raise...kinda confusing but for that kinda money i would assume they have some system in place..however i also agree that fisher did a great job my 2 cents ps....i really dont know???

bhamHusker Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm not terribly interested in where our overall salary budget for assistants ranks. I am interested in how individual coaches' salaries stack up against those of their counterparts at comparable programs relative to their performance. I wish I had time to dig into such a comparison at the moment. Looking at the raises that our guys got, I'm pleased with Beck's raise and see that as a good sign when we go shopping for coordinators in the future. I don't see any other raises that are particularly surprising or out of order - nothing for me to get bent out of shape about. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Damn Beck nearly doubled in salary. Maybe we shouldn't question his playcalling. Quote Link to comment
