Holy cow! I hope we at least throw a couple snacks McShane's way. That's almost like stealing.

Adam Clark, the longtime director of football operations for former Minnesota and Northern Illinois coaches Jerry Kill and Tracy Claeys, joined the Huskers this spring. He takes over many of the duties previously handled by Dan Van De Riet, who was promoted this spring to associate athletics director of football administration and will oversee both the operations and recruiting departments.

Van De Riet’s base salary is $203,430 — second-highest among NU’s non-coaches behind executive director of player personnel Billy Devaney, who makes $300,000.

Other updated salaries among Nebraska’s front office personnel:

>> Andy Vaughn, director of football and recruiting operations, $121,411
>> Kenny Wilhite, director of high school relations, $100,000
>> Tate Guillotte, director of video technology, $80,000
>> Kevin Cristello, assistant director of operations, $70,000
>> Ryan Voecks, video coordinator, $60,000
>> Todd McShane, assistant director of player personnel, $55,000
>> James Rodgers, director of player development, $52,000
>> Nick Halberg, offensive analyst and recruiting specialist, $50,000

Ya, especially when his boss is making $300,000 and something tells me Mcshane does a lot of the work.

 
Is there a reason Nebraska seems to pay so pathetically compared to their peers?

You would think one of the ways to help equalize our recruiting disadvantage would be to excel in some other areas. Guess not.

Edit- Let me specify, the pay is not necessarily pathetic but when compared to the Michigans, Ohio States, Bamas etc., it seems like an area where we could level or better the playing field.

Since Tom left we've been a bunch of cheap asses. Money doesn't guarantee wins but it sure would help to pay coaches/personnel

 
Does anyone have a list of what other Big 10 teams pay their staff members? What is the normal rate for this positions throughout football?

 
We are still paying Bo a lot of money ($1.8 million per year until 2019) that could be given to the staff.

Let's be real. That would not have been given to the people listed and won't be when we're done paying Bo.

Tom nor his assistants got paid sh#t compared to others. Thats why we got so far behind. We thought we could only afford coaches who would work for what Tom and his guys did. Your not gonna see that kind of loyalty for crumbs anymore.

 
I hope we're never a school that pays as much money for coaches/staff as, say, a place like Texas.

However, we're not nearly as cheap as the tone of this thread suggests. We're not top 1%, but especially compared to how frugal we were UNDER Osborne as AD, we've been ponying up the cash for recruiting and for assistants more and more each year. Bob Diaco is the highest paid assistant in program history.

While I'd prefer to not be like that, if that's what it takes to keep up with the Jones' and be competitive, so be it. It's the current state of CFB and it's only going to get worse.

We should wait until the next "Urban Meyer" or "Nick Saban"esque coach becomes available and then immediately meet them with a Gulfstream GVI and brief cases full of hundies.

In modern college football there are two things that put you over top. Your HC and your QB.
