Is this right?

Posted: 12/15/2013 9:19:01 PM

This article says our assistant coaching staff makes a total of $338,897 per year, with Albin and Burrow the highest paid assistants at $126,333 each. That would mean we pay the 7 other assistants a total of $85,834....or an average of $12,262 each.

That can't be right, can it?

We pay our assistants around 62-75k, and our OC and DC around 100k

Those numbers for the entire staff don't make any more sense for any of the other schools.

I believe this was the impetus for the article: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/salaries/ncaaf/assistant/

But the numbers are way off. A better summary here by one of our own!

Yeah, looks like the Hustle Belt article took "Staff Salary" from the USA Today list as though it included the head coach salary. If you subtract Frank's $513,900 from the $852,797 "staff salary" reported in USAT, you get $338,897, which is what HB reports as "staff salary."

The USA article was for assistant coaches only so the column that says staff salary is for the staff of assistants. The number for OU is $852,797 which puts the total staff salaries over $1 million when you factor in the head coach.

The interesting thing to me is there is so little difference from one school to the next in terms of total staff pay, with the exception of a couple outliers, Kent and EMU. $100k is all that separates #1 from #10, so, when a school pays a lot for one guy, as Akron does for Amato, they obviously make up for it by paying a little less to everyone else. Ohio's seems to be a bit flatter than some of the others, which not that much difference between the lower paid assistants and the higher ones.

School Lowest Paid Asst           Hghest Paid Asst      Low as Pct of High
Ohio    Williams 74,025 Burrow/Albin 126,333 58.6%
BG      Naviaser 76,000    Elko         130,000         58.5%
Ball St Dixon    75,650    Ruggiero 133,000         56.9%
Toledo Manning    60,450    Ayeni        115,450 52.4%
Miami   Spencer    71,200    Klacik       137,700 51.7%
Buffalo Spieler          62,200    Tepper 130,000 47.8%
WMU     Wenger 65,000    Ciarocca 140,000 46.4%
CMU     Guidugli 58,000    Tumpkin    132,197         43.9%
NIU     Copelant 70,002    Niemann    160,002 43.8%
EMU     Oshnock    52,195    Parrish    121,963 42.8%
Kent    Gamble, Campbell 56,080    Rock         137,600 40.8%
U. Mass Suber    58,223 Elmassian    168,394 34.6%
Akron   Pont           65,000    Amato        196,000         33.2%

Indeed, that's the way it shakes out. Ohio has the smallest differential between top and bottom. Does that mean Socialism is alive at Ohio? Nah, I think it just means that all the assistants are in for the long haul, and they are sharing what money is available fairly evenly. Meanwhile, as you'd expect, Akron has the most extreme range.

In a way it's surprising Ohio isn't higher up the list in staff payroll. There isn't much turnover, so you'd think most of the Ohio staff is towards the upper end of the pay range for that position, whereas some of the others that have a fairly new staff you'd think would be towards the lower end of the pay range for the position.
