I think Doc could be one of those guys. It’s pretty well documented how much he loved it here. simple fact is the dude may actually want to be an assistant but has had to chase money.

I think most assistant coaches want to end up trying their hand as a head coach. For some people it works out, for some people it doesn't. He was a head coach for 10 seasons (between UTEP and Nebraska) for much of his 40's and early 50's. He had an okay run at the 2 schools, and made some very good money at Nebraska. Now as he approaches 60, he may not want to deal with the grind of being a head coach, and is able to make good money as NU, as Fred's lead in-game assistant. Quote Link to comment

Plus, he will probably get a raise and get to work in way better facilities. 2 Quote Link to comment

He's probably going to be making more money as an assistant here, while also having less responsibility. Sign me up. 3 Quote Link to comment

He will get a small raise and I think living in Lincoln would be better than Hattiesburg, Mississippi. 1 Quote Link to comment

The guy is 58 and if things work out he will retire here with whole lot less stress! Quote Link to comment

The man can coach....recruiting wasn't his strong talent. Hey Tony you feeling okay buddy? I don't know how to break it to you but that never happened. Do you know who and where you are? 2 Quote Link to comment

Would doubt if he gets a raise. There is 1M for the assistant pool & Abdelmassih is getting 380k. That leaves 620k for the other two positions. If Doc gets a raise from 350k that would leave less than 270k for the third (assumed to be Gates). Gates made 256k last year with a two year contract, so I guess he could stay at 256k, but that seems like a pretty wide pay difference between assistants (380k to 256k). 2 Quote Link to comment
