When Mack signed his initial contract in 2013, he was making 180k. Given the success he's had, I would have to guess that he's now making somewhere in the low-mid 200's. Call it 225k for argument's sake. Given that he's taking a lesser title, I imagine we had to pay him 275-300k to come.

Brian Smith is Michigan's lowest paid assistant, scheduled to bring home "only" 150k this season. I bet we're getting him for about 200-250k.

Hopefully we've stepped up to pay our position coaches somewhere in the 100-150k range rather than the 50-70k range. That'd put our assistant salary pool among the best in C-USA (currently FAU, FIU, and UNT).

Makes sense. But Rice OC is probably a better stepping stone than HC at NCCU. Rice OC's went on to become head coaches of P5 schools more than once under Bailiff.

Plus the MEAC/SWAC champs play in the Celebration Bowl now, instead of qualifying for the FCS playoffs, so there’s basically no shot to add “FCS national championship” to your resume if you’re a head coach at one of those schools.
