He is guaranteed 750K and could could earn as much as 855K with incentives.

All of the money over 175K is private donations. What a difference a year makes.

Not Malzahn money, but again a huge step forward for our program.

ASU fans have decided to call them UL for now on. The reason is because they are showing a comittment to keep a good football coach to help the league. ASU and UL have gotten things started. It's time every body else get on board.

I've done it for a while.

I think they both would do a lot better being University of Louisiana and University of Monroe. Both could move forward with good names.

It's a five year contract, but I am not sure of the buyout clause. I hope it is really high.

Not all about the amount but it shows your commitment level and for that way to go UL

Close to Malzahn money.

I agree.

And close is good enough. I'm just glad someone else step up with stAte. Now let's wait on results bc I know Gus certainly will need to show he deserves the money. HUD has already shown the results.

I believe FIU and MT are the schools that actually "got things started" by paying their coaches significantly higher a few years ago.

Way to jump on board though!

I think they were going to make Hud the highest paid coach in the 'Belt if I recall, but then stAte hired Gus for that whopper salary which probably skewed things tremendously.

Still a very nice salary and more indication that 'Belt programs are stepping up.

I think he may have taken a little less on his salary to increase the assistant's salaries as well so they get a little love and he was more likely to keep them. I also think the Cajuns assistant staff payroll might have already the highest in the conference.

I believe you are correct, sir.

Pretty impressive for the Cajuns to pay that much to your coach and coaching staff!

Here's a link of Coaches salaries, as compiled by USA Today, prior to last season (2011), where MTSU's Stockstill was #1 at $589K, UNT's McCarney was #2 at $545K, and Mario Cristobal from FIU #3 at $497K, with FAU's Howard S. coming at #4 with $400K. Of course ASU's Malzahn, and Louisiana's Hudspeth now set the standard for the Belt.

In terms of assistant coaches' pay, UNT's were #1 prior to last season in the SBC, with a total compensation to assistants of $1,047,000. Cajuns were #2 witha $814K in salaries, Troy #3 at $807K, with FIU #4 at $790K in 2011. FIU was #1 in 2010. and for some reason it went down over $82K, from $872K in 2010 to $790K. Right after Mario turned down the Rutgers job, he was offered a slight pay increase, as well as a package to increase and to distribute among his assistants and for recruiting purposes.
