Received contracts for first four Riley assistants: Banker to make $550,000 off the bat, Read $450,000, Cavanaugh $400,000, Bray $250,000.

For comparison, Paps (assuming Banker is the replacement) made $310,000, Els (was ST Coord and LB while Read is just ST, Bray just LB) made $238,900, Garrison (Cavanaugh) made $245,000.

They are not promoted GAs so it makes sense they have more value imo...

is it common to have that short of contracts for assistants?

I would love to get into the "gear" room and start grabbing shirts, hats, sweats!!!

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Nice pay bump for the assistants. Just please hire some good coordinators... then we can start saying #resources.

Yeah, usually a year is how it goes. Probably got an extra year because they just started.

Yes, a lot of schools do one year deals

All four are eligible for postseason bonuses should Nebraska reach certain milestones. Assistants receive five percent of their salary if NU wins or ties for the Big Ten West Division or 15 percent if NU wins the Big Ten. In terms of bowl games, the highest achievement of the following percentages would apply: 8.33 percent for a bowl game outside the New Year's Six, 16.67 percent for a New Year's Six bowl game, 20 percent for a College Football Playoff semifinal berth, 22.5 percent for a CFP title game berth, or 25 percent for a national title.

Cavanaugh's contract states it will increase from $400,000 to $450,000 starting Feb. 1, 22016.

22016?? That bastard plans to be here a while.

is there some clause if the sun burns out?

Yes. He is guaranteed an escape pod to another galaxy. Don't tell anyone though. I've already said too much!

and he will have to coach moonball in a different galaxy?

Moonball?! Pfft. There's no such thing!

How do you know about moonball?!

i can't say. but i've been recruited for my intergalactic skills.

Who's recruiting you? The Andromeda Anacondas?

i wish i could stay that close to home. but, no. the aquarius dwarf galaxy stars.

 

[BigWillie]

Read better be the RC as well. Otherwise, that's just a ton to pay for a guy who will only coach ST.

Also on “Sports Nightly,” Riley referenced Mark Banker as his defensive coordinator, a tag that he hadn’t previously applied when Riley first announced four assistant coaches that would be following him from Oregon State. Banker had been Riley’s defensive coordinator in Corvallis for 14 seasons, and the two also were together with the San Diego Chargers.
“I trust him -- his work ethic, his knowledge, the way he works with young men,” Riley said. “His experience is vast, and I want an experienced person at that position.”

I am disappointed that Riley is keeping Warren. The DBs have tried to shoulder tackle way too often. This poor technique was showcased against Wisconsin. Also, the DBs don't seem to have a nose for the ball other than Gerry. I want Riley to go after the best, and I don't think Warren is the best. Is Warren a good recruiter? Maybe that is why Riley wants him.

Ever think not having a nose for the ball is more about the system? The Db's don't attack and play with their back to the ball in the match up zone with man concepts he liked to run.

Ya, i have a very hard time believing thats a Warren issue. Hes Air Force, so most players playing there are normally not very big and not as talented as teams they are going up against. You would not teach those players to tackle like that. I think things will change with his teaching now he is out from under the thumb of Bo.

I was hoping to hear of some hirings this week. It is a recruiting dead period and most teams havent begun bowl preparations. When do we expect to hear of some names?

If he wants to hire anyone from a team that's playing in a bowl game, maybe he's waiting until their game(s) are done.
