BIG ERN Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I believe the old staff was the following as of recent: so about a $1.5m bump for the new staff. Whipple $875k Chinander $850k Joseph $600k Dawson $550k Beckton $450k Fischer $450k Duval $425k Busch $400k Applewhite $325k Ruud $325k Raiola $325k ------------------- $5.575m Quote Link to comment

Satterfield made $900k this year. DC likely to be in the same ballpark. That's likely ~$3.5M for the first three (assuming Mickey stays). That leaves ~$3.5M for the other seven. That's ~$500k each. I heard the $7m also includes the strength coach - according to the guys on 1620 the Zone. Thus 11 coaches not 10 Quote Link to comment

I could see three guys at slightly over $1M each. That would be ~$460k average for the other 8. A bit of a squeeze but probably still doable. The guys coming from Carolina are probably towards the bottom end of the scale. Pot Roast might be cheap. Quote Link to comment

But, if Mickey has his eyes set on $1.5M (which is below his initial ask), the difference between $1.5M and $1.1M is basically the cost of an assistant coach. Quote Link to comment

Why are we ringing our hands on retaining coaches, who generally sucked? Who is wringing their hands for anyone….other than possibly Joseph? People are simply asking questions and discussing? I’m pretty sure if any of the coaches mentioned aren’t retained, people will understand. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I guess he can ask for whatever but that would be Top 10 in the nation and those currently at that level are all coordinators. Plus you wouldn't think that he'd be making more than our actual coordinators (unless he gets a co-OC title) which would be $4.5 for those three. That answer to his $1.5M request would almost have to be thanks but no thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment

But my opinion of both improved a lot with Busch as DC, so I do wonder how much Chinander's style was affecting our perception. Even the returning guys like Reimer, Henrich, Feist, and Robinson looked terrible early on, and the young guys like Hausmann were totally lost. They all improved dramatically with Busch, and I don't think you can attribute all of that to the DC. I suspect Ruud and Dawson are solid coaches who were limited by Chins vision for the defense, but I won't be super bummed when they're gone. Ruud has sentimental appeal, but there are good coaches out there and neither seem to be the recruiters Rhule is looking for. I have no problem giving props to Busch. And the scheme by Chins was garbage. My point is that Dawson and Ruud are not high energy recruiters, nor are they coaches that are unreplaceable. Ruud had 5 years of the good life here, and will be fine somewhere else. Dawson never impressed me. Raiola out too. I mean, a total overhaul would be fine by me. Although Brian Applewhite, Mickey Joseph and Busch (ST) would be nice to retain for recruiting and high energy coaching. Matt Rhule said he will sit down with the current players and listen to them. That could impact if any coach gets retained if that coach is all iN 1 Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 This will become more clear in the next few days, but as @huskerpower22 says above, Brian Christopherson thinks $7 million does not include S&C. Which is big. 1 Quote Link to comment

But Ruud in particular made a huge push for contact and relationships with the local schools, especially in Omaha. Some people seem to think otherwise but that seems to be a misunderstanding that coaches were literally forbidden from making those visits for a year-and-a-half. But he was literally in Omaha every week when he was allowed to be. 3 Quote Link to comment

And he's liked stuff about other schools from other recruits. So it very well could just be a way to say "congratulations on your new offer." 1 Quote Link to comment
